Vernon based painting contractor working across the North Okanagan on interior and exterior repaints, staining, wood restoration and cabinet refinishing. Listed here as an out of area trade, not as a Chilliwack business.
Painting contractors are among the trades most often hired from outside a town, since a crew that travels with its own ladders and sprayers can work anywhere it can reach in a morning. That is worth stating up front here, because Third Generation Painters is not a Chilliwack business and does not claim to be one. It works out of Vernon, in the North Okanagan, a long drive east of the Fraser Valley, and it appears in this directory as an out of area listing rather than as a local shopfront.
The work itself is residential painting in the ordinary sense: exterior coatings, interior repainting, staining and wood restoration, plus cabinet refinishing, which the company handles from a shop in Vernon rather than in the customer's kitchen. Cabinet work run through a shop is a different proposition from brushing doors in place, and anyone pricing that kind of job will want to ask how the doors travel and how long the kitchen is out of action. The published service area runs across Greater Vernon, Coldstream, Okanagan Landing and SilverStar, and stretches out to Enderby, Armstrong, Lake Country and into the Shuswap around Salmon Arm and Sicamous.
Nothing on the company's own site names Chilliwack, the Fraser Valley or the Lower Mainland, so a reader arriving here should treat coverage of this area as an open question rather than a settled fact. The number to ask on is 250-878-1702. Useful things to establish in that call: whether the crew travels this far west at all, and what the travel component would do to a quote if it does. No street address is published, which is ordinary enough for a painting contractor and matters less than usual in this case, since the shop is in another region entirely. What the listing can honestly tell you is the trade, the surfaces the company works on, and the part of the province it operates from. The rest belongs in a phone call.
Based outside Chilliwack and serves it as part of a wider area, so this is a call-out service rather than somewhere to visit.
