New West’s Commercial Painting Specialists
The Royal City sits where the Fraser bends southwest, with river fog, sun breaks, and steady traffic along the Burrard Peninsula. Stucco, brick, cast stone, tilt-up, and heritage woodwork demand the right prep and breathable, durable systems — especially on the slope above the quay and along Queensborough’s waterfront.
At Commercial Painters Vancouver, we specify proven systems from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG Protective & Marine. Our workflow follows PCA Industry Standards and relevant ASTM methods to perform in New Westminster’s waterfront micro-climate.

Story #1: Columbia Street — Heritage Lines, Modern Protection
Columbia Street façades carry brick, cast ornament, and old-growth trim that tell the city’s story from capital days to post-fire rebuilds. We soft-washed, checked alkalinity, repointed select mortar, and installed a breathable masonry primer + elastomeric topcoat to bridge hairlines without losing crisp profiles. Night staging kept sidewalks open for the morning coffee rush and theatre events at the refurbished venues.
Story #2: Brewery District (Sapperton) — Healthcare Hours, Zero Odor
Next to Royal Columbian Hospital, tenant improvements in the Brewery District demanded low-odor systems and quiet prep. We ran negative-air containment, HEPA capture, and quick-cure enamels for doors/frames and high-touch surfaces. Phased turnovers between clinic schedules and transit peaks meant no missed appointments — and perfect sheens under cool LED lighting.
Story #3: River Market & Quayside — Salt Air, Sun, and Foot Traffic
Along the Westminster Quay/River Market boardwalk, wind-driven moisture and UV exposure accelerate wear. We used corrosion-inhibitive primers on rails and canopies, marine-leaning urethane topcoats for gloss retention, and elastomerics on hairline-prone stucco. Work windows avoided event days at Pier Park and kept the promenade spotless by open.
Story #4: Queensborough — Tilt-Up, Steel, and Big Box Pads
Queensborough mixes riverside homes with busy commercial pads. For tilt-up panels we profiled, joint-treated, and installed acrylic waterproof systems; for steel canopies and bollards we used zinc-rich primers and UV-stable urethanes. Logistics lanes were re-striped overnight so deliveries flowed at dawn over the bridge.
Story #5: Uptown & 6th & 6th — Live Retail Without Lost Sales
At Royal City Centre and surrounding streets, we sequenced interior corridors, back-of-house, and storefronts in 3-hour micro-phases. Wayfinding kept shoppers moving, zero-VOC systems kept the air easy, and each zone passed a white-glove cleanup before doors opened. Merch never left the floor.
Our Process (Built for New West)
- Scope & Plan: Access, hours, and tenant coordination around Columbia Street, Uptown, Quayside, Sapperton, and Queensborough.
- Substrate Prep: Clean/degrease, profile, patch/skim, rust remediation, sealants, primers per PCA/ASTM.
- Application: Brush/roll for control; airless/HVLP for uniformity; plural-component systems for floors/steel where specified.
- Low-Disruption Scheduling: Nights/weekends, phased zones, event-aware calendars. Your doors stay open.
- QA & Warranty: Joint walkthrough, punch completion, O&M packet, and a written 10-year warranty on fading, chipping, and peeling.
Interior Commercial Painting
Reception features, boardrooms, corridors, stairwells, open-ceiling decks — specified for cleanability and traffic. Sensitive spaces (medical/food) get low/zero-VOC systems, proper containment, and off-hour turnovers.
- Exposed deck spraying for a unified plenum look
- Specialty substrates: galvanized/anodized, FRP, powder-coat touch-ins
- Wayfinding & safety colours that stand up to daily cleaning
Exterior Commercial Painting
New West’s river air and elevation swings require thoughtful systems for stucco, masonry, wood fascia, doors/frames, canopies, and steel. Elastomerics bridge hairlines; mineral-compatible primers protect brick and stone; DTM/urethane tops guard metal from corrosion and UV.
Floors & Specialty Coatings
- Epoxy/Urethane Floors: Forklift-rated, non-slip where needed, colour-coded traffic lanes/safety zones.
- Sealants & Caulking: Weather seals at joints/penetrations; expansion-joint rehabilitation.
- Corrosion Systems: Zinc-rich primers + urethanes for rails, canopies, bollards, dock equipment.
