Durable strata coatings
When paint starts to fade or peel on a strata building in Steveston, it isn’t just about looks. Moisture seeps into those cracks, and the longer it stays, the deeper the damage goes. Our method keeps the building sealed and looking good, so that first sign of wear doesn’t lead to an expensive repair.
We replace those worn surfaces with strong acrylic coatings that breathe while blocking rain. The finish stays flexible through temperature changes, so it won’t crack at the first frost. For stratas in the area, strata repainting in Vancouver this way means fewer touch-ups and lower long-term costs.
Steveston is exposed to the elements. Wind from the Fraser River and damp air from the Strait push moisture against painted surfaces almost all year. This constant exposure wears down even good paint faster than you might think. Here, the difference between a five-year repaint cycle and one that lasts twice as long comes down to the coatings you choose.
Many buildings in Steveston have stucco or cedar siding, which can hold moisture if their paint isn’t flexible and fully bonded. We prime deeply and apply systems that allow the substrate to dry outward instead of trapping water behind a brittle layer, which helps prevent paint from blistering near the docks.
Surface preparation for durability
Before we apply any coating, we wash every surface to remove salt and organic growth that are common near the water. We scrape off loose or cupped paint until we reach a solid surface. Then, we spot-prime bare wood and stucco with a primer that helps stabilize chalky surfaces. On strata buildings in Steveston, this base layer prevents a weak bond that could lift during the next wet season.
The coating system uses a thick acrylic elastomeric paint that stretches as the building moves and contracts with wet-dry cycles. We back-roll right after spraying to push the paint into pores and hairline cracks. This strong bond, along with a dry-film thickness that meets manufacturer specifications for coastal areas, keeps the finish intact long after regular paint would peel.
Steveston’s wind-driven rain pushes water into every joint, so a repaint must also act as a barrier against water. We apply a flexible sealant to all cracks around windows and trim, then coat them to make sure water sheds away instead of soaking in. This step helps maintain the drainage plane that the original building relies on.
The coatings we use have high vapour permeability, which allows the wall to dry outwards. Trapping moisture behind a low-perm paint film is a common problem in damp coastal areas; the paint blisters as water vapour pressure builds up behind it. By choosing paints with perm ratings that match the substrate, the entire wall stays dry from sheathing to surface.
Repainting regulations in Richmond
In Steveston, Richmond’s Noise Regulation Bylaw No. 8856 limits exterior strata repainting by contractors to Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Work is not allowed on Sundays or holidays unless the owner does the work themselves. Your repainting schedule will usually be limited to weekdays and Saturdays.
Richmond’s building permit guidance says that permits are not needed for typical strata repainting in Steveston. The work must still follow the BC Building Code and Richmond Zoning Bylaw, but you do not need to apply for a building permit.
For larger repainting projects, other approvals may apply. Under the Steveston Area Plan, exterior renovations costing over $50,000 may require a Development Permit. Additionally, work in the Steveston Village Heritage Conservation Area may need a Heritage Alteration Permit. It’s a good idea to check with the City of Richmond before starting your project.
