A project management guide for homeowners in Chilliwack, Sardis, and the Eastern Fraser Valley.

The difference between a paint job that lasts three years and one that lasts fifteen comes down to surface preparation, product selection, and the crew executing the work. In Chilliwack, that gap is wider than most of BC — because our climate punishes shortcuts faster than almost anywhere else in the province.

Chilliwack receives approximately 1,500 millimetres of rain annually. Homes in Sardis, Promontory, and the Vedder area face prolonged moisture exposure from fall through spring, followed by summer heat that drives rapid expansion and contraction of exterior surfaces. This cycle is the primary factor in paint failure — and most painting companies in the Fraser Valley never discuss it with homeowners.
