When homeowners in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, West Vancouver, and North Vancouver think about improving their property value, they often imagine full renovations: new kitchens, finished basements, or complete bathroom remodels. But one upgrade consistently delivers more impact for less money — a professional exterior paint job.

At Aftermath Contracting, we’ve completed hundreds of exterior painting projects across the Lower Mainland. And whether the home was 5 years old or 55 years old, the results were always the same: better curb appeal, higher resale value, stronger protection against West Coast weather, and a noticeably fresher, more modern look.

Vancouver homeowners face unique challenges that most other regions never have to think about. The heavy rainfall, constant moisture, salty coastal air, and fluctuating temperatures all take a toll on homes in Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Coquitlam. The truth is simple: the Lower Mainland climate destroys homes faster when maintenance is ignored.

At Aftermath Contracting, we’ve seen it all — rotted decks, mold-infested basements, peeling exterior paint, cracked foundations, warped siding, failing roofs, and water intrusion that could have been prevented with just a little bit of annual maintenance. And the cost difference between “fix it early&rdq...

When people think about home construction, their minds jump to flashy upgrades — new floors, beautiful kitchens, modern lighting. But one of the most important parts of your home is something most homeowners barely notice… until it’s done wrong:

The drywall and finishing work.

Crooked seams, uneven corners, visible tape lines, peeling texture — these small issues ruin the entire look of a room. And once the paint goes on, every flaw becomes impossible to ignore.

That’s where Aftermath Contracting stands out.
We specialize in high-quality drywall installation, repair, mudding, taping, sanding, patching, and finishing—the type of work that transforms a home fr...

Most homeowners don’t realize how quickly mold can take over a property in Vancouver. With constant moisture, long winters, high humidity, and tightly sealed modern homes, mold doesn’t need much encouragement. What starts as a faint musty smell can become a major health hazard and a costly structural issue. That’s why searches for “mold removal Vancouver”, “mold prevention tips”, and “moisture problems in BC homes” are skyrocketing in 2025.

At Aftermath Contracting, we’ve handled everything from mild surface growth to homes where mold had s...

Your home’s first line of defense deserves better than “I’ll check it next year.”

A roof problem never starts as a catastrophe. It begins as a small drip, a loose shingle, a weak seal, or a patch that’s been quietly degrading under Vancouver’s nonstop rain. By the time most homeowners notice an issue, the damage is already deep—wet insulation, mold growth, structural weakening, and escalating repair costs. That’s why roof inspections in Vancouver have become one of the most searched homeowner maintenance topics in 2025.

At Aftermath Contracting, we’ve seen it all: winter storm lift-offs, hidden leaks behind walls, rotting plywood, and insur...

Most homeowners don’t realize how much damage Vancouver’s climate can cause to the exterior of their homes. Rainfall, ocean moisture, wind, and year-round humidity slowly break down exterior surfaces, especially when the paint begins to fade, crack, or peel. What looks like just a bit of worn paint is actually the first sign that your home’s protective barrier is failing. At Aftermath Contracting, we see the same pattern across Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver — the homes that receive regular exterior painting maintenance last longer, stay healthier, and require far less expensive repairs in the long run.

Most Vancouver homeowners don’t realize how fast a “small” home repair can turn into a nightmare.
A tiny leak, a cracked window, a bit of peeling paint — these things seem harmless. But in Vancouver’s rainy, moisture-heavy climate, small issues never stay small for long.

This is a story we see every single month at Aftermath Contracting.

A True Vancouver Homeowner Story: How a $200 Repair Turned Into a $9,000 Problem

Last year, a homeowner in Coquitlam called us because their living room paint was bubbling.
They thought it was minor — maybe just cheap paint or humidity.

But when we took a closer look, we discovered:

  A leaking window frame

Upgrading the windows in your Vancouver home isn’t just about curb appeal — it’s about energy efficiency, home comfort, lower utility bills, better insulation, and protecting your home from Vancouver’s moisture-heavy climate. At Aftermath Contracting, we help homeowners in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver understand exactly why a window upgrade is more than a cosmetic improvement. It’s one of the most important home upgrades you can make for long-term comfort, durability, and savings.

In a region known for rain, wind, drafts, moisture, and sudden temperature changes, your windows play a massive role in how your home feels and per...

Most homeowners don’t realize how many hidden safety hazards are inside their homes — until something breaks, leaks, sparks, or floods. In Vancouver’s wet climate, even small issues like moisture, loose wiring, or unstable fixtures can turn into expensive, dangerous emergencies.

That’s why every homeowner in Vancouver should do a yearly safety check, especially before winter or heavy-rain months. At Aftermath Contracting, we fix these issues every single day, and most of the time the homeowner says the same thing:

“I wish I checked this sooner.”
