Kaleden is small, and the work here is mostly lake-view homes and cottages where the outside takes the beating. If the paint on your siding or deck has started to chalk, peel or grey, we can tell you what the surface needs and put it in writing.
The quote is free. It lists the surfaces, the prep, the paint and how long the job should take, so you can compare it with anything else you are considering.
Painting in Kaleden
Kaleden is a small community on the west shore of Skaha Lake, south of Penticton. It is a short drive from our central base, so a Kaleden visit does not turn into a half-day trip. We can often look at a job and give you a plan within the same visit.
The sun and wind coming off the water are the main thing to plan for. We look at which walls and deck boards are taking the most exposure and spend the prep time there. On the day, we cover floors and landscaping, repair what needs repair, and paint in a sequence that respects drying time.
Painting services in Kaleden
Kaleden jobs lean toward exteriors and outdoor structures, but we also handle inside work and the repairs that go with it. These are the notes for each service.
Interior Painting in Kaleden
A cottage that has been closed up for part of the year often has scuffed walls and stale colours. We patch, prime and repaint, with a finish that stands up to sandy feet and wet hands.
Exterior Painting in Kaleden
In Kaleden the exterior list is longest on the sides facing the lake. We scrape loose paint, wash, caulk and spot-prime, then apply two coats once the surface is dry and above about 10 C.
Residential Painting in Kaleden
Full repaints of Kaleden homes are laid out in the quote room by room, with the exterior planned separately so weather delays do not hold up the inside.
Commercial Painting in Kaleden
For a small business or rental building, we agree on the days, the areas to be painted and the clean-up before we begin.
Cabinet Painting in Kaleden
Cabinets in a lake cottage see steam, grease and constant opening. We clean them well, sand, prime, and finish with a hard-wearing coat.
Fence and Deck Painting in Kaleden
Decks here take sun and wind and show it in cracking and grey boards. We clean the wood, sand rough spots and apply stain or paint depending on how much life is left in the surface.
Drywall Repair in Kaleden
Small cracks and settling marks in a vacation home are typical. We patch and sand them so the new paint covers cleanly.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Kaleden
Older Kaleden homes may have textured ceilings. We ask for the build year and arrange an asbestos test before anyone scrapes.
Wallpaper Hanging in Kaleden
A good use of wallpaper is one wall in a bedroom or entry. We prepare the surface and hang the paper so the seams are tight.
Wallpaper Removal in Kaleden
Old wallpaper often hides patchy walls. We soak and remove it, clean the glue and repair the wall before priming.

Planning a paint job in Kaleden
Pick your outdoor window early. Exterior paint wants dry weather and a surface above about 10 C, and wind can blow dust onto wet paint, so we watch the forecast and move days around when needed. Interior jobs are less sensitive, and cottage owners often schedule those for the months when the place is empty.
Ask us about lead paint if your house is older. Health Canada considers it probable in homes built before 1960 and possible between 1960 and 1990, so we ask the year and plan testing before any sanding. Booking early helps if you need the work done before guests arrive or before a sale. Our drywall repair page explains what we fix before painting.
Kaleden painting questions
Is Kaleden too small for you to serve?
No. We serve Kaleden regularly and treat it like any other job, with a quote visit and a written plan.
Can you paint my deck in one day?
It depends on the size and the condition. Cleaning, sanding and drying take time, so the quote will give a realistic timeline.
What if rain is forecast?
We move exterior work to a dry day. Painting wet or cold surfaces causes problems, so we would rather wait.
Do you remove hardware before painting?
Where it makes sense, yes. Removable hardware comes off for a cleaner finish, and we put it back before we leave.
