Project Description

A 2,412 square foot home in North Nanaimo changed color from the roofline to the stairs in six working days. This exterior house color change in Nanaimo, BC, touched every part of the shell, not just the walls. Siding, soffits, fascia, window frames, doorframes, garage doors, entry doors, posts, beams, braces, railings, and stairs were all recoated.

A color change asks more of a crew than a same-color refresh. The old color sits underneath every new coat, so a thin spot or a missed edge shows up immediately. This house also has many separate parts, and each one needs its own masking and cut line.

Bigger Picture Painting handled it with masking, spray application, and hand cutting and rolling on the detail work. The full exterior was finished in six days. Bigger Picture Painting has painted homes across Vancouver Island since 2022.

Project Scope: Exterior House Color Change in Nanaimo, BC

Siding, Soffits, and Fascia

The siding carried the largest share of the surface area on this 2,412 square foot home. Soffits and fascia were coated in the same pass so the roofline reads as one continuous color instead of a patchwork. These upper surfaces take the most rain and wind, so they were sprayed for an even film thickness.

Window Frames, Doorframes, Garage Doors, and Doors

Frames and doors are where a color change is won or lost. Every window frame and door frame was masked to the glass line. Garage doors and entry doors were treated as full units, so the new color runs across the panel faces and the surrounding frames. This is the same detail work Bigger Picture Painting brings to exterior house painting in Nanaimo, BC.

Posts, Beams, Braces, Railings, and Stairs

Structural woodwork has more edges per square foot than any other part of a house. Posts, beams, and braces were cut in by hand, along with railings and stairs. Handwork here keeps overspray off the decking and hardware and holds a sharp line where the wood meets the siding.

Masking, Spray, Cut and Roll

The crew combined methods on purpose. Masking protected glass, roofing, and hardscape before spraying started. Long open runs were sprayed for coverage. Tight details were cut and rolled by hand, including all trim paint.

Paints & Products Used

Two Sherwin-Williams products carried this project.

  • Sherwin-Williams Latitude Satin Exterior in Tricorn Black. Latitude is an exterior acrylic latex built for wide temperature swings and damp air. The satin sheen sheds water and wipes clean without the glare of a gloss.
  • Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes Solid Stain, color matched to Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace. Woodscapes is a solid color stain made for wood. It soaks into the grain instead of sitting on top as a film, so it resists peeling on wood surfaces. Sherwin-Williams matched the Chantilly Lace color in-house, so the homeowner kept the exact color without switching brands.

Both products were selected to hold this exterior color change through Nanaimo winters.

Result of Exterior House Color Change in Nanaimo, BC

The home now reads as one deliberate scheme instead of a mix of old and new. Siding, soffits, and fascia carry an even satin finish. Window frames, doorframes, garage doors, and entry doors show clean-cut lines against the glass and the wall. Posts, beams, braces, railings, and stairs match the rest of the exterior instead of standing out as leftovers from the previous color.

The job closed in six days. For a home with this many separate elements, that timeline came from masking first and spraying second, not from skipping steps. This exterior color change in North Nanaimo covered every painted surface, from siding and trim to soffits, fascia, and garage doors.
