Retail & Restaurant Painting

Retail and restaurant painting in Burnaby has one non-negotiable constraint: get the space back open as fast as possible, because every day the space is closed is a day of lost revenue. Burnaby Commercial Painting Co approaches retail and restaurant painting with this in mind — tight scheduling, fast-dry formulations where applicable, and a final product that holds up to the commercial-level cleaning that food service and high-traffic retail demands.

Brand Colour Accuracy for Retail Chains

National and regional retail chains and restaurant franchises have specific brand colour requirements that must be matched precisely at every location. A Tim Hortons warm beige, a Lululemon clean white, a Cactus Club deep charcoal — these aren't design suggestions, they're compliance requirements from the brand. We use a portable spectrophotometer to match any colour to any standard: Pantone, NCS, Munsell, or a specific Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams formula number. We provide a signed colour-match confirmation before production work begins and keep records of the matched formula for future touch-up.

Interior Finishes for Restaurants and Hospitality

Restaurant and café interiors experience significantly more wear than standard commercial office environments: cooking vapour and grease deposits on kitchen and expediting walls, condensation on cold storage entry areas, customer traffic scuffing along seating booth walls, and staff traffic abusing server station walls. The correct product for restaurant interiors is a hard, high-sheen waterborne enamel or an epoxy-amine coating in the kitchen and service areas — surfaces that can be wet-wiped or chemically cleaned without the finish breaking down. In dining rooms, we typically specify a satin or eggshell with a washability rating suitable for bi-weekly cleaning.

Exterior Storefront Painting

Storefront exteriors in Burnaby's commercial corridors — Kingsway, Hastings, Lougheed, and the Metrotown precinct — take significant weather exposure and require regular maintenance painting to stay presentable. We paint exterior wood and metal storefront systems, stucco façades over retail bays, canopy soffits, and fascia boards. For storefront metal — hollow metal door frames, aluminum window frames, metal canopy framing — we use a DTM (direct-to-metal) alkyd or waterborne epoxy primer before topcoat. Standard latex over bare or primed metal in a BC coastal environment will fail within two to three years.
