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
