"The mock ups and samples are really helpful. Thank you for sending them and helping us make our colour decisions easier."

– Thora and Charles, Vancouver, BC

On first glance this sweet character home on the West side of Vancouver looks like it was always meant to be blue. In fact, the original stucco on the house was white. Such pretty details like the barrel roof front porch and symmetrical windows needed to be highlighted.

Warline Painting worked with the homeowner to come up with a perfect colour scheme to make this house look charming without mimicking a painted lady.

POSTER SIZED SAMPLES WERE A MUST

Early on the homeowners expressed that they really wanted a blue siding. After sampling a number of blues the final colour choice was Benjamin Moore Shadow Gray (2125-40). This colour was a perfect example of why sampling on a large poster board is important. On a small strip this colour looked like battleship gray. Only when it was painted on a larger surface was the pretty blue undertone evident.

This made choosing the trim colour easy. We choose a very soft colour by Benjamin Moore. Gardenia (AF-10) has the softest pink undertone and played off the siding perfectly.

The fascia trim was painted in a high gloss back to act as eyeliner on the house and give the trim a pop of detail and drama.

VIRTUAL MOCK UPS FOR THE DOOR

Finally, when it came to choosing the front door colour, we knew it had to be a knock out. We sampled colours from yellow, to navy and even magenta. By creating virtual mock ups, we were able to help the owners visualize the door and choose the perfect colour. The winner was Benjamin Moore Mysterious (AF-565). Probably the prettiest navy going.

PICTURE PERFECT PRETTY

The images of this house are some of our most popular photos on Houzz. The front door is one inquired about colours. It just goes to show how pretty can work on the exterior of a house as well as on the inside.

From Our Customers

Professional and conscientious from start to finish. They were communicative, prompt and thorough and the results were a first class exterior for my home. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
MARCUS C -VANCOUVER, BCScope: Exterior Painting of House
I hired Warline to repaint a room in my new home. I chose a very dark color and was scared that it might show flaws. Luckily, there was no need to be concerned, because the job was absolutely flawless!! Not only was the work done in an extremely timely manner, but the painter was very courteous, and the work is amazing! The room looks 100X better than before. Thank you Warline - I could not be happier.

Sandy and I would like to thank you very much for the wonderful job you did painting our house. From the initial quote from Warren to the final brush stroke from your painting crew, the entire experience was completely stress free and enjoyable. Heidi, your advice on paint colors was very helpful. Our house has been transformed and we couldn't be happier. Thanks again for making our dream of a showcase home a reality.

My happiness is looking at my beautiful old girl. Thank you to Warren for seeing the house's potential that first day and carrying through the plan. Thank you to Sean for fixing up the worn out spots and re-creating the beautiful bits that I hadn't realized the house had! Thank you to Dave and his crew for meticulously bringing life back to the old girl. Your warmth and passion for creating it just right is why my beloved house looks SO GREAT.
ANNA, SURREY, BC
A special thanks to the employees of Warline as they were a very courteous and professional group of young men and women. Not one complaint was received from the owners during the two month process with all owners stating that they were very pleased with the outcome and the professionalism of all involved. The strata council of Hazelmere Village (South Surrey) have no hesitation in recommending Warren Nyline and his company as a painting contractor for your painting needs. A stress free job extremely well done.

The quality of work was excellent, as was the communication and work ethic.
WONITA G., COQUITLAM
I hired Warline for a variety of interior painting projects including all interior walls, baseboards, ceiling, and a bedroom feature wall with matching furniture. Heidi is a fabulous colour consultant with an eye for perfection and timeless style. The custom stenciled bedroom feature wall with matching painted dresser is a 'stunner' that belongs in a home decor magazine. All work performed by Warline is completed with professionalism and high quality - I always believe that you get what you pay for and this company delivers on their promise.
MARISA M., SURREY, BC
It was such a pleasure dealing with Warline and their crew. They were great to have in my home, great with my kids, great with my dog - very respectful! We will definitely recommend.
TRACY R, COQUITLAM, BCScope: Interior Painting
From the start of our experience with Warline to the end, we have been extremely happy with the prompt attention to our enquiries and the profesionalism of not only the owners but also their onsight crew. Heidi did a great job of walking us through our exterior paint options as we were going with a new paint scheme. We are thrilled with the end product which has made us very proud of our home once again. Thank you Warline for your professional approach and attention to detail.
RICHARD L., SURREY, BCScope: Residential Exterior Painting
Based on previous experience with trades I was apprehensive when it came to painting my 100 year old heritage house last year. Based on research, Warline was chosen which was the best move I could have made. We were truly delighted with not only the quality of the work but with every aspect of their customer service.
VALERIE J., VANCOUVER, BCScope: Heritage Home Painting
I cannot speak highly enough about this company and Warren and Heidi and their staff. Their commitment to their "art" (yes, it is an art I believe) is truly amazing!
SUSAN, SOUTH SURREY, BC
The highly efficient crew was the best I have worked with. We were most impressed.
MERETTE B., SURREY, BC
Daniel was our crew leader. I think he may have left our house cleaner then he found it. He was on top of the crew and keeping things in line, easy to be around. Good quality all around. Really happy with all the painters and love the colors you helped us select.
TINA E., MORGAN CREEK, SURREY, BC
Before the project began, Warren walked through the home with myself and the paint foreman and ensured we were all on the same page, the crew worked around our schedule and did an amazing job. The estimate and the final bill were exactly the same, they ensured we were 100% satisfied. Great experience and plan on having them back to finish painting the remaining rooms and the exterior of our home when the time comes. Customer and Quality are their top priorities.
ERIN H., MORGAN CREEK, BCScope: Interior Painting
Having supplied paint and sundry goods to Warline for over 10 years, we have found them to be of the highest integrity in the painting industry. Very refreshing to come across in this day and age. By default they will always go to the best in class products for their clients even when cheaper substitutes are available. We would highly recommend Heidi and Warren for any sized painting project, whether it be new construction, repaints, exteriors and decks as well as kitchen cabinets. Their work will impress even the most discerning client. Their levels of service and professionalism are second to none.

Warline Painting Ltd. conducts their business in a professional manner. Their work matched showhome expectations. No spills or splashes left behind. We are impressed with their work. Thank you for doing such a good job.
ROBIN AND FEI, WEST VANCOUVER, BCScope: Interior Painting
Warline is a top of the line painting company and I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone. Many people have already stopped by and asked me for their number. I am now waiting for them to paint some rooms on the interior of our home.
CARRIE, NEW WESTMINSTER, BCScope: Exterior Painting of Heritage Home
I am not one to typically write reviews but I was so happy with the work that Warline Painting had done, they completely exceeded my expectations. Heidi helped us so much with all the decisions that go with an exterior renovation to ensure that everything came together and it looks AMAZING. I have had many paint jobs over the years inside and out and by far this is the best. The painters were meticulous, polite and the clean up everyday gave the kids back their space.
JENNIFER S., SURREY, BCScope: Interior Painting
I had chipped handrails and repairs caused when windows were replaced. Warline has a painter for a day service and sent Daniel. I am thrilled. Paint matched perfectly, tidy polite worker, excellent paint job. I recommend Warline without reservation and will use them every time I need a painting. Just the best!!!
