We were lucky to get to know Mike, as he is a very honest, personal and helpful person. He is very patient and is willing to give us suggestions that would create the best result. He is also very responsive to our needs and accommodates our schedule and time. My husband and I are very pleased with the final look. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a responsible painting company for your home. Mike and his crew will surely do a great job. **★★★★★ — Ethical Flooring, Feb. 2014** > When working with other trades the number one thing that is important to me is that they have a "good attitude" and Mike definitely has that. He is knowledgeable and current with trends. All good qualities in the interior design business! **★★★★★ — Rodrigo Raffi, June 2013** > I am so happy to have chosen MODE painting for our 2 bedroom apartment in Vancouver's West End. Mike was extremely patient, knowledgeable, creative and helpful. The end result was better than I expected. I already recommended MODE painting to my best friend and I look forward to contacting them again in the near future after our renovations. **★★★★★ — Tanya Keggin, March 2013** > It was such a pleasure to work with MODE Painting. I had a rough idea of the colours I wanted to use but needed some guidance - MODE listened to me and gave me wonderful suggestions based on knowledge of light and shadow, undertones, colour theory, etc. I chose the colours that were recommended by MODE and couldn't be happier! My rooms look better than I even imagined! MODE was clean, tidy, fast, and very considerate. MODE prepared my walls properly and applied the paint evenly - if additional coats were necessary to get the best effect MODE checked with me before purchasing more paint - MODE was always right about how much paint would look best. Visitors to my home always comment on how beautiful my wall colours are - all thanks to MODE! They did my foyer, dining room, bedrooms, washrooms and basement media room. I'll have to get MODE in to finish all the hallways and stairwells too! I recommend MODE to anyone who wants professional, knowledgable and top-notch service! I am related someone who works at MODE but I feel I am still very impartial because I have extremely high standards and am very detailed oriented especially with my home. **★★★★★ — hughkim77, March 2013** > Mike was a great find. His work is precise, diligent and I also appreciate his professional demeanor. I've met other painters who I wouldn't leave my kids around despite excellent reputations because I don't want to explain meanings of cuss words to them just yet or why this sketchy looking individual is in our house. > > He's simply a trustworthy, good painter. > > Hugh Kim **★★★★★ — ahuang604, March 2013** > MODE Painting worked on my downtown condo recently. They were very clean and thorough. They made sure our furniture was well protected and even helped out with installing new lighting! > Nice guys and a pleasure to be around! **★★★★★ — ariusis, Feb. 2013** > I have used MODE painting in the past and was very happy with their work and as a realtor you need people who can get the job done without supervision. I was so pleased with the job they've done that I have recommend them to clients that need painting services **★★★★★ — Zoey Arnold, Feb. 2013** > Full 1 bed condo painted in 2 days > Great service fully quoted via email with pictures and room measurements. > All the work was completed to my specifics without even being at the location on the day. > My client and I were very pleased with the timing and price. > Very professional! **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2013** > I used MODE Painting to re-paint a room. The colour consultation was thorough and they helped me understand how to choose a colour and finish that would work with the room's furniture and lighting. They were very professional on paint day, arriving on time, doing a quality job, and cleaning up after. I was very pleased and would recommend them. ## Selected projects - [Architectural Vinyl Films](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/architectural-vinyl-films-pj-vj~6186719) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: A collection of images demonstrating the effect architectural films have to enhance and modernize living spaces.

A: Gallery Style... well placed album covers, framed (Urban Outfitters has great frames for this purpose)... and if you dont have interesting albums - just check out your local thrift shop (Im always on the hunt for vintage movie soundtracks) GOOD LUCK! **Q: Wall color???** *(in Photo Questions)* A: DULUX **Q: Soothing bedroom...color suggestions please** *(in Design Dilemma)* My bedroom deserves a fresh coat of paint. I was thinking pale greenish blue/aqua/turquoise or pale mauve/purple/lavender, as feature wall color. I plan my feature wall to be the wall with my bed frame. Calm soothing color suggestions are welcomed... A: I think a very pale blue works for anyone Seeking serenity... For accenting try two shades up from your main wall Colour. Minimize the clutter as this can cause claustrophobia. Maybe consider painting the furniture, bed, trim, doors all the same white. Good luck with the project, however you decide! **Q: Guy's Apartment / Bachelor Pad** *(in Design Dilemma)* Can someone help me find decorating ideas for my single male apartment anywhere from color of walls (i'm thinking something dark colored not sure though) to artwork and random items that say I am a straight man with taste A: Start here for inspiration www.restorationhardware.com - hopefully theres a showroom in your home town... --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
