Seventy Years

Between the two of us, seventy years with a brush in hand. There is very little in a house we have not painted, patched, primed, or fixed after somebody else.

OH-02

Just The Two Of Us

We take one job at a time and we do it ourselves. Yours gets finished before we start anyone else's, and the same two faces turn up every morning until it is done.

Any Day

Weekdays, weekends, short notice. If the place has to be ready before the open house on Sunday, tell us on Thursday and ask.

Forty years each, and a brand new name

We spent our careers painting for other people's companies. This one is ours, and it is three months old. That means we do not yet have a wall of photographs — in forty years it never once occurred to us to take any. Here is what we can show you instead.

Where we have worked

Several hundred houses, townhouses and condominiums across the Lower Mainland, along with restaurants, offices and strata buildings. Four decades each, mostly by word of mouth.

Check us out properly

We would rather you verified us than took our word for it.

  • Three references, on request
  • Written quote before we start

Ask for either of these on the phone and we will get them to you the same day.

Our first ten customers

We are building this business back up from nothing but our own two names, so our first ten jobs go out at our sharpest price. All we ask in return is that you let us photograph the work when it is finished, and that you tell us honestly how we did.

What we do

Houses, townhouses, and strata units. Occupied homes, empty ones, and places going on the market next week.

  • Interior walls and ceilings
  • Trim, doors, and baseboards
  • Exterior siding and stucco
  • Fascia, soffits, and gutters
  • Decks, railings, and fences
  • Kitchen cabinet refinishing
  • Drywall patching and filling
  • Caulking and re-caulking
  • Presale and move-out repaints
  • Single-room refreshes

What we don't do

Roofs, three-storey exteriors, commercial or industrial work, and anything needing a full spray rig. If you ask us for one of those we will tell you straight and point you to someone who does it properly.

How it works

No salesman, no folder of packages, no pressure to decide today.

One number. What is included, what is not, how many coats, and how long we will be there.

We start when we said we would

Furniture covered, floors protected, surfaces prepped properly. We clean up at the end of every day, and we finish your job before we start anyone else's.

Photo: on the job One of them cutting in an edge, or taping off trim. Hands and brush in frame. People trust prep photos.

Two painters, not a company

Danh Hua and Hoa Truong have been painting houses in the Lower Mainland for four decades each. Between them that is about seventy years of walls, weather, and other people's renovations.

They are not building a company. They are two men who are good at this, would rather be working than not, and can still cut a straight line where the wall meets the trim without reaching for the tape. It is a small skill that takes about a decade to learn, and you can see it from the doorway.

Because it is only ever the two of them, you meet the men who will be in your house, and they are the same two men on the last day.

  • Seventy years combined
