Vancouver Painting Contractor - Residential & Commercial
Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose WOW 1 DAY PAINTING
Mike Dahlman spent seven years with College Pro Painters before launching a flooring business and You Move Me Vancouver. James Alisch brings complementary experience in client service and business operations. Together they built WOW 1 DAY PAINTING Vancouver around a single belief: that a home is a family’s most important possession, and it deserves to be treated that way. Their company is fully licensed and insured in BC, and every project is led by a senior Emerald Shirt painter certified through WOW’s quality program.
Mike and James’s team specialises in popcorn ceiling removal, condo and strata painting, cedar siding, Hardie Board, and BC climate exterior coatings across the full Lower Mainland — West Van, North Van, Kitsilano, East Van, Richmond, New Westminster, and beyond.

Vancouver Interior Painting
Most painters send one person for several days. We send a full, professional crew — because bigger jobs get bigger crews, and that’s how we deliver the quality you expect in a timeline that’s unexpected. We arrive early, prep every surface, tape trim, repair minor drywall damage, paint, and clean up completely. You choose the colours. We handle everything else. Before we leave, a senior Emerald Shirt painter walks the job with you - quality guaranteed.
Interior painting is available year-round across Vancouver and the full Lower Mainland — from Kitsilano and Kerrisdale to North Vancouver, Richmond, and New Westminster. We use low- and no-VOC paints from high-quality paint brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore.
- Walls, ceilings, trim & doors
- Cabinet painting & refinishing
- Popcorn ceiling removal & drywall repair
- Wallpaper removal & basement painting
Popcorn ceiling removal is one of our most-requested services. For pre-1980s homes, we discuss asbestos testing requirements at your free estimate before any work begins.

Vancouver Exterior Painting
Vancouver’s coastal conditions require overnight temperatures above 8°C and two to three consecutive dry days. We typically start mid-to-late April and paint through to Thanksgiving, sometimes into November. Our exterior painters serve all Lower Mainland communities — from the heritage homes of Kitsilano and Shaughnessy to the cedar homes of North Vancouver and the newer builds across Richmond.
- All siding — wood, cedar, vinyl, stucco, Hardie Board, brick
- Decks, fences, garages & exterior trim

FAQs — Vancouver
How much does it cost to paint a house in Vancouver?
A typical Vancouver home interior ranges from $2,000–$5,000+ depending on scope, number of rooms, ceiling height, and surface condition. Exterior costs vary by siding type, square footage, and prep required. Free, detailed on-site estimates — no hidden fees, no surprises on the day.
What’s the best time to paint a Vancouver exterior?
We can start anywhere from March to May, but most commonly mid-to-late April — when overnight temperatures reach 8°C or above and we get two to three consecutive days without rain. Summer is prime. We typically paint until Thanksgiving and can sometimes go into November.
Can you paint an exterior in rainy weather?
No. Every exterior booking includes a weather guarantee — we reschedule rather than compromise the result.
Do you paint condos and strata buildings?
Yes. We paint individual suites, common areas, and full strata buildings across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, working within board timelines and building management requirements.
Do you offer popcorn ceiling removal in Vancouver?
Yes — one of our most-requested services. We handle the full process: removal, skim coating, priming, and painting. For pre-1980 homes, we discuss asbestos testing at your free estimate first.
Do you serve North Vancouver?
Yes. Our territory covers the full Lower Mainland — North Vancouver, West Vancouver, New Westminster, Richmond, Delta, Tsawwassen, and Ladner.
How long does an interior paint job last?
With proper prep and high-quality paint, interior paint jobs can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. In high-traffic areas like hallways or kitchens, you may notice wear sooner.
Do you serve areas outside of North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Richmond, Ladner, New Westminster, and Burnaby?
Yes! We proudly serve the entire Vancouver region and nearby communities. If you’re unsure whether your location falls within our service area, just give us a call and we’ll be happy to confirm.
Do I need to move my furniture or prep the space before you arrive?
Not at all. Our crew will handle all the necessary prep work, including moving or covering furniture, protecting floors, and taping edges. You can just sit back and relax while we get to work.
Can you help with repairs before painting?
Yes. We offer light drywall repair, caulking, sanding, and other prep services to make sure the surface is paint-ready before we begin.
