The Owner

That’s Dave’s work.
He owns the company.

When you call Thompson Painting, you get Dave Thompson. Not a call centre, not a sales rep, not a franchise. The man who quotes your job is the man responsible for it.

He started the company in 1983. On most jobs it’s Dave and his regular professionals; the big ones get a full crew. Four decades in the same communities means the work has to hold up, because he keeps driving past it.

Every job ends with a walkthrough — you and Dave, around the house. Anything you point at gets fixed on the spot, and he leaves only when you’re happy.

778-871-2747. Dave answers it.

Straight Off the Job

One house,
start to finish.

No stock photos, no staging — three phone shots from a single Thompson repaint. Masking on, crew on the driveway, and the finished coat with the steps done last.

The Proof

Same house.
Same siding.
New everything.

That is the house you just watched get painted. A repaint is not a colour change — most of the job happens before the paint comes out. Drag the handle and compare.

What We Paint

House or warehouse.
One way of working.

01

Residential Interior

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and closets. Floors covered, edges cut clean, and the room put back the way it was before we leave.

02

Residential Exterior

Siding, stucco, soffits, fascia, decks and doors. Pressure-washed, scraped, filled and primed before a drop of colour goes on — because coastal weather finds every shortcut. Most full exteriors run two to four days.

03

Colour Help, Included

Unsure about colour? Dave brings the charts, narrows it to three or four, then paints real samples on your own walls — so you choose from the house, not a chip.

04

Warehouse & Large-Scale

Warehouses, distribution buildings and industrial interiors. Lifts, airless spray and a crew sized to the job.

One number for all of it: 778-871-2747

The Big Ones

Some walls
don’t fit
on a ladder.

Thompson Painting is not only a house painter. Warehouses, distribution buildings and industrial interiors are their own discipline, with their own equipment, access and scheduling. It is work Thompson Painting has done for years, at building scale.

  • Boom and scissor lifts, brought in per job for high walls and ceilings.
  • Our own airless spray rigs — long runs, even film, fewer seams.
  • Dave’s regular crew, scaled up when the job is big.
  • Occupied-site sequencing so the operation keeps moving while we coat.

More Proof

Colour is
the reward.

Sun-bleached shingles, chalked white trim, years of Lower Mainland rain. Then a full exterior, done properly.

The trim carries the whole elevation on a house like this. Cut lines have to be dead straight around every arch, every gable and every window, because that is the first thing anyone sees from the street.

Dave can tell from the sidewalk what paint went on a wall and how it was applied. It is why he only buys the top-shelf lines — Dulux Diamond, Dulux WeatherGuard, Benjamin Moore Regal — where the pigments and resins are built to outlast UV, rain and mildew.
