Great to work with and always deliver a great finish. **Comment from Powell Painting:** > Thanks so much! We love working with you and your amazing team. **★★★★★ — Anitra S, Feb. 2018** > Powell Painting recently gave our condo a fresh new look. The team is beyond service oriented. Color consultation is part of the service and we are glad to have had the expert recommendations as we finalized paint colors. Powell Painting's attention to detail is phenomenal. All deadlines were met and they remained within the set budget. The end result is a condo that's bright, open, inviting and a home we are very happy with! **★★★★★ — Emily Rousseau, Nov. 2017** > I was super pleased with the whole process from start to finish with Powell Painting to repaint my whole (small) condo. They were quick to come out for a quote and get it back to me, and were able to accommodate my tight schedule to get it done within the week I'd decided to go ahead! Kara was super helpful and patient in providing advice and answering all of our questions. The team was professional, they finished the job in 2 days and the clean-up was like they were never there. The paint turned out beautifully - I would definitely use them again! **★★★★★ — Robyn Wyman, April 2017** > I would recommend Powell Painting to anyone considering painting or wallpapering their home. My experience was great from start to finish and the team was thoughtful, professional and very thorough. They treated my home with respect and I am very pleased I decided to hire them. **★★★★★ — T M, Feb. 2017** > Tanja and her team did an amazing job on painting the entire interior of our townhouse. They took great care in removing all the imperfections, and the finish is beautiful. > Great people to work with too. > > I would highly recommend Powell Painting! **★★★★ — Ritchie Construction Ltd, Dec. 2016** > Tanja and her team are great painters. All members of the team are extremely knowledgeable and work hard to get the project completed. I would recommend Powell Painting for exterior and interior painting projects. **★★★★★ — Alice B, Nov. 2016** > My husband is a man of few words. “Powell Painting is a High Quality Operation.” > I could not agree more, but wish to elaborate. > > We survived the teen and school-age years much better than the interior of our house did. It was well overdue for a refresh 13 years after the last painting and our designer recommend Powell to tackle 2700 square feet up and down plus a 35 year-old popcorn stucco ceiling. > I have to start with the ceiling (they did). It got planed and sanded, the HepaVac creating minimal dust with the crew painstakingly protecting all the floors, sealing doors and tidying up at the end of every day. Honestly such a worthwhile difference when it was done. > > Tanja the owner is very particular (more picky than I!) and has so much experience and good ideas, such as how to improve the worn look of our kitchen and bathroom cabinets. With a thorough knowledge of the best way to do things, best materials and best referrals (trades), she also offered great advice on colour and design. Her quote was comprehensive and accurate. > > Our painter (a drywall expert to boot) was easy to get along with, punctual, reliable, and so hard-working. On Time and on Budget, everything was put back in order just as before. > And the follow-up! Every detail attended to, they noticed little things to amend that we wouldn’t have and ensured our absolute satisfaction. > > This company is truly Professional - Open, Honest, Fair, Considerate, Courteous, Friendly, Detail-Oriented, Careful and Precise. You cannot do better, stop looking. **★★★★★ — Tanya Schoenroth Design, Jan. 2016** > As an interior designer working in Vancouver, BC, I have worked with Powell Painting on several projects, including my own home. Employees are professional and conscientious and I was appreciative of their follow-up service. They find time in their schedule to check up on jobs after completion. > > I have also found that Powell Painting is able to handle the most detailed projects where a high level of craftsmanship is required to achieve a clean, even finish around and on extensive, intricate woodwork. As well, they are very helpful with providing advice on appropriate finishes and products for varied applications. **★★★★★ — Raincoast Floors Ltd, March 2015** > My company has referred Tanja and her crew at Powell Painting to numerous clients and they have always delivered a high quality finish on time and on budget. I would not hesitate to refer Powell Painting to any of my clients. > > Hunter Culbert-Steele > Raincoast Floors > www.raincoastfloors.com ## Selected projects - [Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exteriors-pj-vj~694164) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 18 - [Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-rooms-pj-vj~2906811) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 15 - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchens-pj-vj~694154) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 17 - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~694160) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 13 - [Dining Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-rooms-pj-vj~694802) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 11 - [Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedrooms-pj-vj~694174) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 11 - [KubaCo West 19 - North Vancouver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kubaco-west-19-north-vancouver-pj-vj~694812) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 3 - Description: We worked closely with both homeowner and contractor to provide the best solutions to show off this heritage home.

At the moment I'm leaning towards refacing the brick with stacked stone and adding a floating mantle. My husband really wants to keep this wood burning but wants glass doors installed. Thoughts? A: There are lots of great ideas and I am sure your inspired to make the changes needed. I agree with leaving the brick alone....for now. Absolutely agree with the wrap around mantle., I can also say as a company we have clear coated brick and rock to enrich the colour. If you got the brick wet, this is the clear coat would look like. Also on unpainted brick staining even if a solid colour is desired. An exterior latex or or hybrids is best. Benjamin Moore has a product, Arborcoat stain is fantastic for adhesion and durability. Stain will soak into the brick and be more peel resistant. It also allows the brick texture to still show so the finish is lighter. Good luck and please share the results!! Tanja **Q: Wow! Vashon Residence, truly incredible work** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Can you please tell me what colour and product was used on this project --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
