Mold behind your drywall or on interior surfaces might look like a small cosmetic issue — until you learn what it does beneath the paint. One of the most Googled questions by homeowners dealing with wall discoloration is whether mold can simply be covered up. The short answer? No. Painting over mold hides it, but it does not kill it — and it will come back. The longer answer is where things get interesting.

What Happens When You Paint Over Mold

  Mold spores remain alive under the paint film

  
  


• 
  

  Moisture continues to feed the growth behind the surface

  The paint may bubble, crack, or peel prematurely

  The problem spreads laterally and vertically in the wall

A storm doesn’t negotiate. It hits windows, roofs, fences, siding, and foundations without warning, and when it passes, homeowners are left wondering if the damage is cosmetic, structural, or just the beginning of something larger. In coastal cities like Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver, storms bring heavy rain, high wind, flying debris, drainage overload, and sudden temperature swings. The most common sequence we see is underestimated damage becoming hidden damage. A cracked siding panel becomes wet sheathing. A small roof gap becomes attic moisture. A leaning fence becomes a collapse later. A storm passes once, but water lingers the longest.

A lot of homeowners start renovation planning with the same unspoken question: Is this actually worth it? Not the Pinterest version of worth it — the financial, practical, long-term version of worth it. Especially in cities that deal with rain, wind, and damp seasons like Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver, upgrades are often more about protection than design — but the smart ones do both.

Most people reading a contracting blog are in research mode. They’re trying to connect dots like: Will this improve my home value? Will it fix the issue I already have? How long will it last? Can I avoid doing this again later? Who actually knows what they&rs...

On the West Coast, especially in cities like Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver, heavy rain and unexpected flooding aren’t rare — they’re seasonal realities. When homeowners search up “How do I fix water damage after heavy rain or a flood?” they’re usually not reading for fun. They’re reading because water is already in their home, or they’re terrified it will be.

Water damage spreads faster than most people think, and the aftermath of water damage is exactly where Aftermath Contracting comes in. The aftermath of water damage is what we fix. The aftermath of water damage is what we repair. The aftermath of water d...

If you live in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, or West Vancouver, your siding has a tougher job than most other places in the world. It’s not there just to look nice — it’s the first line of defense between your home and nonstop moisture.

Rain, coastal humidity, ocean winds, and cold seasonal shifts wear exterior walls down faster than homeowners plan for. When siding ages out, water begins to slip past the surface and settle into places it should never reach.

An Aftermath Contracting Guide for Homeowners in BC’s Wettest Regions

Vancouver homes don’t battle mold in the dramatic, overnight way people expect. It’s slower, quieter, and much more strategic than that. It shows up first in ways that feel insignificant — a foggy window that never dries, a bathroom fan that doesn’t clear the steam, or discoloration that you assume is just shadows or dust.

Because of our coastal climate and recurring humidity, mold isn’t an uncommon visitor. The real issue is when it becomes a permanent resident. When spores colonize inside walls, insulation, ceilings, or crawlspaces, they stop being a cleaning problem and start being a bu...

Local West Coast Secrets From a Vancouver Contracting Team That Does It Every Season

Every year, homeowners in Vancouver ask Google the same question in different ways: “How do I fix curb appeal before selling my home?” “How do I fix curb appeal fast?” “How do I fix curb appeal so my house sells higher?” “How do I fix curb appeal without spending too much?” It is one of the most common homeowner questions, especially in cities like Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver where real estate moves fast, competition is high, and listing photos are everything. A home buyer visiting a showing is making a decision before they...

Most homeowners ask this exact question before any renovation begins. Interior painting is one of the highest-ROI home upgrades, but pricing feels confusing because every home is different — size, ceiling height, drywall condition, trim detail, paint quality, and access all shift the final number. At Aftermath Contracting, consultations usually start with the same conversation: “I know the ballpark, but what will it cost for my actual home?”

In 2025, interior painting costs in Vancouver and surrounding cities are shaped by three main pricing tiers — basic repainting, mid-range refresh, and premium transformation. A standard home interior repaint typically falls between...
