Our Approach in New Westminster
How we work in New Westminster
New Westminster has some of the oldest homes in Metro Vancouver. Your property carries history in its walls, from old-growth fir to original millwork, and protecting that character takes a different skill set than new construction.
Fraser River humidity stays high all year. Heritage homes absorb it through original wood siding and single-pane window frames, and river fog keeps surfaces damp longer than you would expect. Paint applied over moisture trapped in old fir fails within a few seasons, and each failed cycle damages the wood underneath.
What each project includes
- 1A walkthrough of each surface before anything is scheduled

Why Shape of Paint
Why New Westminster homeowners choose us
Heritage stock demands a different approach. Your home likely has old-growth fir siding and many layers of paint, and treating it like a new build creates failures within two years. Proper stripping, consolidation and period-appropriate products protect both the finish and the character already in your walls.

Common Questions
What New Westminster homeowners ask
- What painting services are available in New Westminster?
- Interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet painting, decorative finishes, deck and fence staining, and custom millwork and feature wall finishing, all in New Westminster. Each one starts with a walkthrough and a written scope.
- How much does painting cost in New Westminster?
- Interior painting in New Westminster typically ranges from $3–$8 per square foot, while exterior projects fall between $4–$12 per square foot. These are directional ranges—not fixed rates. Pricing shifts based on scope complexity: the number of substrates involved (drywall, millwork, masonry), the preparation standard required, site access, and the coating systems specified. A simple repaint and a multi-surface, prep-intensive project may share the same square footage, but they are not equivalent in cost. Accurate pricing requires a defined scope—mapped surfaces, specified products, and a clear level of finish.
- Do you handle Venetian plaster and decorative finishes in New Westminster?
- Yes. Marmorino, Venetian plaster, limewash, and layered texture are applied by hand with Metropolis, Novocolor, and MEODED materials. You approve a sample board in your own room before the wall is done.
- Can you restore outdoor wood surfaces in New Westminster?
- Yes. Outdoor wood is washed, checked for moisture, and stained with penetrating systems from Livos, C2, or Sansin, timed to the dry weather the wood needs.
- How does your process reduce project risk in New Westminster?
- We walk your home and test each surface before the quote is written. The quote names the product for each surface, the start window, and the completion date. About 60% of the project goes to surface work before paint. You get daily updates, a 12-point site check each day, and a written workmanship warranty.
