Painting is often treated as the easy last step of a renovation, but the quality of a paint job depends heavily on the prep work before the first coat goes on. Our crews sand, patch, and mask properly before painting, and pay close attention to clean cut lines around trim and ceilings, so the final result looks intentional, not rushed.
Painting is a natural extension of our drywall finishing work. Because we handle both, we keep color and texture consistent from wall to wall, and a Level 5 drywall finish underneath means a smoother, more even paint job on top.

InteriorInterior Painting in Surrey
Looking for an interior painter in Surrey? Citified Planning & Construction Ltd. works as an interior painting company for homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses across Surrey and the Lower Mainland. We paint living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, stairwells, ceilings, trim and doors, and every surface is prepped so the paint goes on evenly and lasts.
A good interior painter also knows what sits under the paint. Because Citified finishes drywall as well, patches, seams and repairs are handled properly before the first coat, so they do not show through once the paint dries.
Price is usually the first question. Room size, wall condition, ceilings, trim and the number of coats all change the total, and this guide to what affects interior painting cost explains each factor.
ExteriorExterior Painting
Exterior painting protects a home from rain, sun and temperature swings, and it changes how the whole property looks. Surrey's wet climate is hard on siding, trim, soffits, fascia and doors, so prep matters even more outside than it does indoors.
That means washing off dirt and mildew, scraping loose paint, sanding, repairing damaged areas, priming bare spots and caulking gaps before any paint goes on. Product choice and timing depend on the surface and the weather, because exterior paint needs dry conditions to cure properly.
MovingMove-In and Move-Out Painting
Painting is one of the quickest ways to get a place ready for new people. Before a move in, a fresh coat lets you pick your own colours and cover scuffs while the rooms are empty and easy to work in.
At move out, landlords, tenants and sellers use painting to cover marks, patch holes and bring walls back to a clean, neutral finish before the next tenant arrives or the home goes on the market. Empty rooms also mean faster work, with no furniture to move around. Share your key dates when you request a quote and the job can be planned around them.
Multi UnitCondo and Apartment Painting
Condos and apartments come with their own rules. Shared hallways, elevators and neighbours mean the work has to be planned carefully. Many buildings require notice or approval for contractors, set working hours, and expect floors and common areas to be protected and kept clean.
Rooms are often smaller and furniture stays close to the walls, so crews protect belongings and keep dust and fumes under control. For several suites or a whole building, painting can be scheduled floor by floor, with access and timing coordinated with residents, strata councils and property managers.
Step by Step Our Painting Process
Every paint job follows the same order, because skipping a step shows up in the finish.
Prep
Furniture is moved or covered, floors are protected, trim and fixtures are masked, and the walls are cleaned and sanded so the paint grips evenly.
Repairs
Nail holes, dents and cracks are filled and sanded smooth. Larger damage needs proper drywall mudding and taping before painting, so the repair does not show once the wall is coloured.
Primer
Bare drywall, patched areas, stains and big colour changes get primer first. It seals the surface so the finish coats look even and the colour comes out true.
Coats
Edges and corners are cut in by hand, then the walls are rolled for an even finish. Most rooms get two coats, with proper drying time in between.
Cleanup
Masking comes off, touch ups are done, and the space is cleaned and checked before it is handed back.

Paint highlights whatever is underneath it. Skipping sanding, patching, or proper masking leads to visible imperfections, poor adhesion, or messy lines around trim and ceilings. Prep work is what separates a professional finish from a quick coat of paint.
