CertaPro Painters Proudly Servicing Burnaby Heights

If you live in Burnaby Heights, you already know you are in one of the most vibrant and sought-after neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland. Stretching along Hastings Street with its iconic neon signs, European delis, and independent bakeries, “The Heights” offers an incredible balance of historic charm and modern convenience. It is a community where you can grab an espresso on Hastings, walk the trails at Confederation Park, and take in stunning views of the North Shore Mountains and Burrard Inlet all in the same afternoon.

With that strong community identity comes a rich mix of residential architecture. The Heights is famous for its gorgeous 1920s and 1930s character houses, solid mid-century builds, and classic Vancouver Specials, all sitting on larger, tree-lined lots. But preserving that historic charm—especially in our climate—takes real work.

That is where we come in. CertaPro Painters of Burnaby is proudly servicing Burnaby Heights, helping local homeowners update their living spaces and protect their investments against the West Coast weather.

Here is what homeowners in The Heights are usually looking to tackle when they call our local crew:

Defending Heritage Exteriors from West Coast Rain

The Pacific Northwest climate is notoriously tough on home exteriors. Between the heavy seasonal rains and the moisture rolling off the Burrard Inlet, exterior paint in Burnaby takes a beating. For the older character homes that define The Heights, peeling paint isn’t just an eyesore—it’s an open door for moisture, mildew, and wood rot. A high-quality, weather-resistant exterior paint job seals your siding, protects heritage wood trim, and keeps your home structurally sound while boosting its curb appeal.

Refreshing the Classic “Vancouver Special”

Burnaby Heights has its fair share of 1970s and 1980s homes, including the iconic Vancouver Special. While these homes offer incredible square footage and solid layouts, their original exterior stucco and brick combos can look a bit dated. We are seeing a huge trend of homeowners in North Burnaby opting to paint their exterior brick and stucco in crisp whites, deep charcoals, or modern slates. It is the easiest way to take a mid-century exterior and give it a sleek, 21st-century facelift.

Modernizing Interiors and Kitchens

Older homes come with great bones but often feature heavy, dated wood finishes, divided floor plans, and years of scuffed walls. You don’t need a massive, disruptive renovation to make a heritage home feel fresh and bright. A modern interior color palette can completely transform how light moves through your rooms. Additionally, our professional cabinet refinishing services are incredibly popular right now. Taking heavy oak or dated kitchen cabinets and professionally painting them a crisp white or modern gray completely changes the feel of your main living space for a fraction of the cost of a full kitchen remodel.
