Special Considerations for Kitsilano Homes

Heritage Home Experience

Many Kits homes date from the 1920s-1940s. I understand:

• Plaster wall preparation and repair
• Preserving original trim and details
• Working with high ceilings and period features
• Matching historical color palettes when requested

Rental Suite Painting

Kitsilano has countless basement and laneway suites. I offer quick turnaround between tenants, understanding that every day vacant costs you money.

Eco-Friendly Options

Kits residents often prefer environmentally conscious choices. I offer:

• Zero-VOC Benjamin Moore Natura paint
• Low-odor options for occupied homes
• Proper disposal and recycling of materials
