"We could not have been happier with the work that was done and have had many compliments from friends on our restored paint job. I would not hesitate to recommend Warline to anyone wanting a quality job."

– Valerie J., Vancouver, BC

Each year the True Colours Grant Program, the Vancouver Heritage Foundation awards a few select homeowners with financial assistance to restore their home. The grant helps with the exterior restoration and repainting of designated heritage homes in the Vancouver area. The goal of the program is to restore these homes to their historically appropriate colours based on the architectural style of the home. Heritage consultants visit the home to determine the original colours and to select the colours and colour placement for painting.

Homeowners must choose a paint contractor from the approved list of painters supplied by Benjamin Moore and the Vancouver Heritage Foundation. Warline Painting is proud to be one of a few select painting companies chosen to work on these projects.

In 2012, just in time for its centenial birthday this 100 year old home on West 10th Avenue was selected by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation as a recipient for the True Colours Grant. The homeowner selected Warline Painting for the project and Warline got to work restoring this beauty.

The project involved extensive wood repair and replacement, along with lead paint remediation. Festool sanders and extractors helped the crew safely sand and prep with wood and reduce the amount of lead based dust in the air. More than three hundred hours of sanding and prep of the  wood siding and trim were required before priming and painting. .

Working on a house of this size also required Warline to deal with logistical challenges. The high roof has deep overhangs. As well, the close proximity to other houses meant using scaffolding, booms and fall protection to get the job done safely and efficiently.

The Colours

The exterior of the house was returned to its original red colour. The colours included:

  • Siding: Benjamin Moore Hastings Red VC-30
  • Trim: Benjamin Moore Edwardian Green VC-7
  • Stucco: Benjamin Moore Haddington Grey VC-15
  • Front Door and Sash: Benjamin Moore Gloss Black VC-35

Warline used Benjamin’s Moore Aura, Low Lustre exterior latex paint for siding. Low Lustre brings out the depth and richness of colours like the red used on this project.

The transformation was dramatic to say the least. And it was completed in time to celebrate this Vancouver treasure’s 100th birthday.

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.
KARA P., SURREY, BCScope: Painting of Residential Exterior
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.
ALLAN ELANDER, PRESIDENT OF HAZELMERE VILLAGE STRATA COUNCIL Scope: Strata Painting
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!!!
