In New Westminster, peeling paint signals hidden moisture damage. If water penetrates the surface, it can rot trim and sheathing, leading to costly repairs if ignored.
Older strata buildings often require careful attention. Our team understands how to prepare aging exteriors, ensuring a strong foundation for the new finish and reducing unexpected issues during the job.

Protective strata repainting
Peeling paint is more than just a cosmetic issue. When moisture gets behind the paint, it speeds up damage to siding, trim, and exterior cladding. We see strata repainting in Vancouver as a protective measure, not just a color change.
Our teams pressure wash, scrape off loose paint, and fix damaged areas before applying primer. A moisture-resistant finish seals out rain and helps keep exterior walls looking clean for a longer time.
In New Westminster, exterior paint must withstand damp air, regular rain, and changing temperatures. Many strata complexes are older and located on exposed hillsides or near the river, where moisture stays on siding and trim longer.
Older wood trim, stucco, and fiber cement cladding in this area absorb water quickly once the paint fails. Soft-wash cleaning and careful priming help prevent those exterior surfaces from staining, peeling, and swelling between repainting.
Surface preparation and coatings
In New Westminster, preparing strata exteriors starts with low-pressure soft washing. This method removes mildew, algae, and surface salts without pushing water deeper into the cladding. Loose paint is scraped away to reach solid adhesion, feathered edges are sanded, and damaged caulking is cut out before applying primer. This step is especially important for older wood and stucco that can absorb moisture during rainy weather.
Choosing the right primer depends on the condition of the surface. A high-solids acrylic primer is used for chalky stucco, while an alkali-resistant primer stops burn-through on fiber cement. The topcoats are usually 100% acrylic latex, which includes mildewcides and allows moisture vapor to escape. This helps wall assemblies dry out after being wet for a long time. For cracked stucco, elastomeric coatings fill in hairline cracks and create a flexible, water-resistant layer.
The way paint is applied is very important. Back-rolling helps push paint into textured surfaces and ensures complete coverage at lap joints, which are spots where rain can get in. All edges around windows and doors, utility penetrations, and where trim meets cladding get a continuous bead of polyurethane sealant. This sealant stays flexible during New Westminster’s damp winters and mild freeze-thaw cycles.
Exterior paint acts as the first line of defense against rain in a rainscreen system. It helps shed New Westminster’s frequent rainfall before it reaches the sheathing. If the paint fails, moisture can get behind the cladding and become trapped. This can lead to rot and corrosion on fasteners and flashings. A good repaint restores this barrier and re-establishes the water-shedding surface.
Vapor permeability is crucial in this coastal area. Coatings need to let interior moisture escape while blocking liquid water from outside. This prevents blistering and peeling caused by trapped moisture. For older wood-sided stratas without proper interior vapor barriers, a perm rating above 5 is recommended to help the walls dry out during dry spells between rain.
During repainting, the integrity of flashings is checked. Head flashings above windows and doors are inspected for proper slope and end dams, while sill flashings are checked to ensure they drain correctly. Any gaps around electrical masts, vents, or deck ledgers are cleaned and sealed to stop water from entering at these common weak points in New Westminster’s hillside and riverside buildings.
Strata repainting permit requirements
Exterior strata repainting in New Westminster is considered construction work. It must follow the city’s construction noise hours: construction noise is allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday. No construction noise is allowed on statutory holidays. Contractors must schedule noisy activities like pressure washing, sanding, or using compressors within these hours. If work must happen outside these hours, they need to get a formal noise bylaw variance from City Council.
Even when working within allowed hours, strata repainting contractors must keep noise within limits set by the city’s general Noise Bylaw. This bylaw restricts continuous noise levels in quiet zones. If the repainting work exceeds specific decibel levels or creates a nuisance, it can be enforced.
For strata-titled properties, exterior repainting usually changes the look of common property. This requires prior written approval from the strata corporation under standard strata bylaws. Owners cannot repaint or change the exterior of a building, balconies, doors, windows, or other exterior elements without written permission from the strata council. Unapproved exterior work can be ordered removed at the owner’s expense. This means Paragon Exteriors must ensure the strata corporation has formally approved the repainting scope and colors before starting.
