“I am writing in regards to my recent experience with APW Painting and Renovations.
Out of the four painting companies I contacted, Stan from APW was the only one who came with a portfolio of his most recent projects. He recommended that I go look at some of the houses he’s done in the area. From the beginning it was clear he is very proud of his work. He gave me a clear understanding of the prep work that would be done and the products that he would be using. His quote was clear and concise. I also appreciated his 5 year guarantee and that he is fully licensed and insured.
Once the work started I was blown away by how meticulous the prep of all the wood trim was, in most cases sanded to the bare wood and primed. All stucco was sanded and cracks filled. All the other painters had recommended a simple power wash and paint. Steve, the head painter, regularly kept me informed and updated on the job. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperating so it was a bit frustrating for everyone, but Steve kept cool and assured me the job would get done and get done right! Stan would come by daily to check out the progress and sometimes jump in to help. I would also like to mention Steve’s helper D’Arcy, a great young apprentice.
I would really like to thank Stan and his crew for a fantastic job and a great experience.
Thanks APW,”

“We recently decided that a new roof was needed for our home in Brentwood Bay and also that we would have the outside of the house repainted at the same time. We called a number of painting companies, and were very impressed with the prompt and efficient response from APW Painting. Stan – the BIG boss – gave us a reasonable quote and followed up in a timely manner to see if we were interested in employing his company. He liaised well with the roofers. He was also very patient as we dithered around trying to decide upon colours, and gave us excellent suggestions about what colours would work with each other and would be appropriate for the house. The painting team was knowledgeable, hard working, efficient and friendly. APW Painting promised and delivered. We are delighted with the final outcome.
We consider their work to be of the highest quality and recommend them without hesitation.
Regards and thanks,”

Top notch!!!! APW
Stan was terrific! He guided us every step of the way, especially through tricky paint colour decisions. We have a heritage house with rich colours and we wanted to preserve the same look even though we were switching out our windows. With his expert advice, we arrived at some great solutions and we couldn’t be happier with our house. As others have mentioned on the web site, APW stands apart from other companies because of the prep work. Other companies did not guarantee the same attention to sanding and filling. Our site manager, Eric was excellent. He ran his crew beautifully and was always so understanding and easy to approach. His guys went out of their way to help us with everything we asked. I just can’t say enough good things about this company.
Top notch!!!!
Many thanks, —

Kudos to APW Painting!
We had been storing up projects around our 25 yr old house that we knew needed to be done, and this summer, decided to get the patio deck painted. We got some quotes and found Stan’s to be reasonable with a good explanation of what would be done in preparation and painting.
We quickly realized that we had found an excellent contractor and someone we could trust. So we asked him to paint our stucco and Tudor trim boards. All our windows were uncomfortably draughty, and again, Stan had the answer, organizing retrofitted windows, which are very attractive both inside and out.
The stained wood casings, baseboards and doors throughout the house were very worn. Stan recommended replacing the baseboards and the many louvred bi-fold doors and then painting it all white. This has really freshened and brightened our interior! And because this was now becoming a proper “renovation”, we asked Stan to paint the entire downstairs, the stairwell, and the upstairs hallway. Stan has an elegant sense of style and colour which can be subtle or bold according to the situation, and his suggestions proved to be wonderfully suitable. He also did some needed repairs and renovations in our two upstairs bathrooms, and finished off with rebuilding and painting a little balcony which wasn’t draining properly, in both cases, calling in specialized tradesmen for some of the work.
Stan’s crews are highly skilled, and cheerfully attentive to the details of both preparation and finished work. We enjoyed everyone, but would like to make special mention of Casey, Craig, Dave and Naomi who were so enthusiastic and easy to share the house with during these unfolding projects.
We’re very grateful to Stan for all he accomplished here. We have a “new house” without moving! We highly recommend him as an excellent and fair-minded contractor who does his utmost to ensure the projects are done well.
