We accepted all of her suggestions, and we are pleased with all of them. Plus Thoma is very connected with painters, flooring companies, etc., and it is great to be able to access her network. Her staff members in the store are very friendly and helpful. This is a great business in the Tri-Cities area. **Comment from Thoma and Co Designs Inc.:** > Thank you for taking the time to give us such a great review. We pride ourselves in the level of service we provide in this community and are grateful for our customer's support. **★★★★★ — Tina Mathieu, Feb. 2018** > We have hired Thoma to help us paint & decorate our home in Pitt Meadows. Her ideas & experience where fantastic. The colours & wallpaper she chose for us put our home in top "show" condition. It sold at top dollar recently. Thoma has the confidence & experience to "go outside the box". She helped us select colors & wallpaper, that on our own, we would have been too nervous to select. But her selections were great !!! And now I have hired her again to take my West End Vancouver condo to "another level". Once again fantastic suggestions & ideas. Also, Thoma's Benjamin Moore studio has many suggestions for decorating the entire house. So great place for "one stop" shopping. **Comment from Thoma and Co Designs Inc.:** > Thank you for your kind words Tina. It is always a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Patricia Sharpe, Jan. 2017** > Was very efficient, arrived on time for the consultation and was quick to suggest paint colours and make other suggestions of home improvements within our budget. Was very willing to join us as we picked up out materials and in fact did so on a couple of occasions. > Invoicing was clear. **★★★★★ — Roman Pisarek, Jan. 2017** > Thoma is a very professional and talented designer. She has exceptional creativity and feeling for space and lighting.She carefully listens to client's needs and incorporates their interests into new designs.It's been a pleasure to work with Thoma on many successful projects. **★★★★★ — donnawalks60, Aug. 2016** > For the past 25 years I have had the pleasure of experiencing the design expertise of Thoma and Dave at Benjamin Moore Tri Cities. > From color consult on my entire home....inside and out ..... to window and floor coverings and personal touches......they are my one stop shop. > Benjamin Moore products are superior to all others. > Trust me when I say Benjamin Moore Tri Cities is a place you can trust. **★★★★★ — Ann McAfee, July 2016** > Thoma and Tri-City Paint and Design provide professional customized service. Thoma planned the color scheme for our renovation, provided the paint, and managed window coverings. She took a personal interest in ensuring the colors worked for us. Even after the main work was done Thoma has continued to provide ongoing support. **Comment from Thoma and Co Designs Inc.:** > Thank you for your review Ann. Your home turned out beautiful. **★★★★★ — Jo-Anne Pearce, July 2016** > We first met Thoma 15 years ago when she did a colour consultation for our home. We were so impressed by her professionalism and sense of style that when we decided to renovate our bathrooms and laundry room 10 years later, she was our first choice. We were not disappointed. This year we once again went to Thoma for a major kitchen/dining/living room renovation. Thoma's guidance, amazing sense of style and colour along with her ability to listen to her clients and source out quality products was instrumental in making this project both a success and positive experience. My kitchen is beautiful! It fully meets my needs and wishes and surpassed my expectations. The living and dining room which are now open to the kitchen have been elevated in their design with beautiful mouldings, flooring and colour. I love my house again! Thoma is very well respected in the design community and I understand why. We have a few more projects on our renovation list and Thoma and her company will be who I go to. **Comment from Thoma and Co Designs Inc.:** > Thank you for your rave review Jo-Anne! It has been a pleasure working with you on all of your projects and I look forward to the next phase. **★★★★★ — Andrew Taylor, July 2016** > I trust Thoma with all my renovation and design projects. Thoma worked on my commercial project in 2010, and we are still getting rave reviews on the decor 8 years later. In 2012 Thoma worked on my home reno and the results were amazing. I have recommended Thoma to many friends and everyone has been exceptionally pleased with the results. Thoma and her team just finished the interior renovations to my heritage home in Port Moody this March 2018. Thoma and Tri-City Design have taken a disaster zone and turned it into a work of art. Thank you so much you have come to my rescue once again. ## Selected projects - [Lori](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lori-pj-vj~1693200) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Tina](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tina-pj-vj~1768140) - Location: Coquitlam, BC - Photos: 16 - [Recent Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/recent-work-pj-vj~1697084) - Location: Port Coquitlam, BC - Photos: 13 - [Melanie](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/melanie-pj-vj~1693164) - Location: Port Moody, BC - Photos: 42 - [Pitt Meadows](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pitt-meadows-pj-vj~1693146) - Location: Pitt Meadows, BC - Photos: 13 - [Kim](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kim-pj-vj~1693191) - Location: Port Coquitlam, BC - Photos: 10 - [Jo-Anne](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jo-anne-pj-vj~1693139) - Location: Coquitlam, BC - Photos: 45 - Description: Ensuite, Main Bathroom (2013) Kitchen (2016) - [Central Coquitlam](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-coquitlam-pj-vj~76084) - Location: Coquitlam, BC - Photos: 35 - Description: Shoji style fence Reclaimed floor boards fence - [Marion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marion-pj-vj~1693128) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Andrew](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/andrew-pj-vj~1693117) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Jodie](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jodie-pj-vj~3118638) - Location: Port Coquitlam, BC - Photos: 7 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/paint-and-wall-covering-dealers/thoma-and-co-designs-inc-pfvwus-pf~2046820486) ## Ideabooks - [Tiny House](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/185107262/list/tiny-house) — 1 idea - [Tami & Paul](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/182572710/list/tami-paul) — 6 ideas - [Mae & Brad](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/181345871/list/mae-brad) — 11 ideas - [Holly](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/181061800/list/holly) — 8 ideas - [Kathy & Gary](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/179689709/list/kathy-gary) — 7 ideas - [Jim Riches](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/177280031/list/jim-riches) — 9 ideas - [Flex Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/170170058/list/flex-room) — 19 ideas - [Harold](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/168243380/list/harold) — 87 ideas - [Tracey & Graham Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/151948804/list/tracey-graham-exterior) — 20 ideas - [Laundry rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/147459613/list/laundry-rooms) — 17 ideas - [Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/142046921/list/lighting) — 6 ideas - [Kids](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/138365300/list/kids) — 8 ideas - [Stories](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116181204/list/stories) — 2 ideas - [Fireplace/Feature walls](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18441267/list/fireplace-feature-walls) — 110 ideas - [Office](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/101747296/list/office) — 30 ideas - [Built-Ins](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27158093/list/built-ins) — 42 ideas - [bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5155903/list/bedroom) — 24 ideas - [Colour](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7219603/list/colour) — 23 ideas - [Furniture](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22941175/list/furniture) — 8 ideas [See all 19 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/tdoehring) ## Community Q&A **Q: Lights** *(in Photo Questions)* Where are these lights from please A: These are available to order through Maxilite **Q: Finish on Wall** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the finish? Tiles? Wallpaper? Faux finish? A: Hi Alison - This is a wallpaper we used. If you are interested in ordering it I can arrange that for you once I return. I am out of the country right now. I welcome you to send me a private email . Thank you. **Q: Need design advice: 1972 ranch entry way** *(in Design Dilemma)* Looking for design advice on how to update the look of our entry way to complement the living room area. We are keeping the ceiling as is, repainting walls white, and changing floors to luxury vinyl planks. Please give me ideas on handrails and vinyl floor color. Thanks! A: As for the fireplace, if you want to maintain the character of the original brick but change the colour of it, and overglaze is a nice effect without giving it that painted look. **Q: C2 paint vs Benjamin Moore?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Does anyone have opinions on C2 Lux or Studio paints as compared it to Benjamin Moore Aura or Regal paints? I have used C2 over 10 years ago and it was amazing - great coverage, smooth application, luminous color with their 16 colorant system. Not sure if the BM has caught up in quality. My local paint store carries BM, whereas I would need to drive 30 min to get to the C2 supplier. Thanks for your opinions! A: We at Tri-City Paint & Design have just made it easier to get C2 paint in the Greater Vancouver, BC area. First location in BC. C2 is working on increasing their retailer network, I would suggest you talk to your local Benjamin Moore stores. I now carry both and they compliment each other very well. **Q: Sample Boards or Walls?** *(in Polls)* When testing a paint color, do you prefer to paint samples on boards or directly on your walls? A: Sample boards are definitely the way to go. You can move them around, view them along side the elements that are going to remain in the room, like the flooring or the sofa. They can be viewed on the window wall which is usually darker, as well as in the bright light. The existing colour on the walls will effect how you see your new colour. Some paint stores sell the artist boards which won't curl and wrinkle once you paint them. And please, don't kid yourself about paint stores being able to accurately match paint chips from competitors. It may look 'close' on the chip but paint a large area of it and they can be pretty bad. In particular the complex, or full spectrum colours. They contain anywhere from 7-9 different pigments without using any black or grey in them, making them luminous and almost dance with the light. We see it all the time when clients or painters don't use the brand specified we can't guarantee the results. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-30.*
