We started Envision Painting Company to establish relationships with our customers and provide them and their friends with painting results that everyone can be proud of. With the addition of Kris and Heidi in 2017, our painting company improved its ability to serve you and the rest of our customers with the highest degree of care and attention.

Our Story

As young high school students, Craig and Tristan both got their first painting experiences in Vancouver. They remember commuting up to two hours each way to get to job sites all over the lower mainland. In the countless hours working on sites together, they came up with the idea of starting their own painting company together one day.

In 2016, the dream became a reality when Craig and Tristan founded Envision Painting. At first, it was a pretty small operation with only six painters in their inaugural year but quickly grew as the years progressed, and both Craig and Tristan became more familiar with the intricacies of running a business.

We are now proud to have up to 35 painters working in our painting company victoria. We have built an excellent reputation and portfolio that includes various job types and building styles.

Our office manager will communicate with you regularly as the project approaches. Our production manager, assistant production manager and foreman on site will stay in communication throughout the project.

If you are undecided about your colour selection our estimator may leave a sample booklet for you to look through. We often recommend our clients use a complimentary resource of our home paint store, the Dulux Paints located at 1581 Hillside Ave. If you bring in pictures of your project this may help. Alternatively, we would be happy to recommend colour consultants or discuss how to get a digital image with the colour changes.

If we are painting inside or there is a locked area it is important for the client to be available at the start of the project. Alternative arrangements can always be made in advance to hand off keys if needed. We do need to have access if we are painting exterior doors. Besides these consideration there is no requirements for clients to be available if they have made decisions on colours and finishes in advance, though we enjoy working with our clients present.

It is important to meet with our clients so we are each able to ask and answer questions that will allow us to provide a detailed and comprehensive proposal.
