Here's what most homeowners worry about.

  • Will they show up when they say they will?
    Your start date is set before the job begins. If weather shifts it, you hear it from your project manager first.
  • Will the quote match what actually gets done?
    Your quote lists the scope in plain language. The crew works from that same scope, so what you approved is what gets done.
  • Will the finish actually last?
    Prep is where finishes are won or lost. We clean, sand, patch, and prime where the surface needs it, so the coat on top has something solid to hold.
  • Will they keep me updated while the work is going on?
    Yes. Your project manager keeps you updated from the first day to the last, and you can reach them directly.

That's exactly why we started Oriah, a painting company in Metro Vancouver you can count on.

Owner-run. Work we stand behind.

Alex and Nefi run Oriah. You deal with the people who own the outcome, not a rotating cast of strangers. When a question comes up mid-job, the answer comes from an owner.

Every project gets a Dedicated Project Manager, AI colour rendering so you see it before we paint, and a Final Walkthrough Quality Guarantee before we wrap up.

Not sure whether your cabinets need refinishing or painting? Refinishing keeps the natural wood. Painting gives them a new colour. We will take a look and tell you which one makes sense.

They worked harder on the day before the big rain so they can finish 3 days ahead of time and without anything undone or out of place now I will give them more work around the house as they did this job in a precise fashion and answered all my questions and or concerns

We are really impressed on how Alex, Nefi and their team worked as a cohesive team on our cabinet painting project. They are a bunch of talented and hardworking people. We are so pleased with their work that we hire them again, this time it's for interior painting of our condo.

Oriah Contracting did an amazing job painting our kitchen cabinets. The team was professional, detail-oriented, and took great care throughout the entire project. The finish is smooth and beautiful, and our kitchen looks completely transformed. They completed the work with great attention to detail and left everything clean and organized. We are extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend Oriah Contracting for anyone looking for high-quality kitchen cabinet painting.

I wanted my solid wood kitchen cabinets refinished to the original condition. Not an easy job. After getting a few quotes I chose Oriah Contracting. They completed the job in a very careful and professional manner from start to finish. The cabinets looked beatiful. Alex and Nefi were a pleasure to work with. I would highly reccomend them.

My communication with Alex was professional, helpful, and descriptive. I felt he made sure we knew all our options (had to paint over a repaired area of stucco to blend) and was not trying to push one way or another. They completed the work as scheduled and the workmanship was excellent. It was an easy experience overall and I would recommend Oriah for similar painting projects.

We greatly appreciate Oriah contracting for their professionalism, outstanding service quality, and genuine dedication. They even took the extra step of identifying an issue with our drawer front panel, which was not opening and closing properly, and helped us resolve it so that the installation could be completed smoothly. This level of attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond is truly exceptional.

How it works

Three steps make choosing a painting company in Metro Vancouver simple. You start the conversation. We handle the middle. You enjoy the finish.

Step 1

Tap "Get My Written Quote"

Tell us about your space. Share a few photos or book a site visit. We listen first so the scope matches what you actually need.

Photos work for a first look. For larger or detailed jobs, a site visit lets us measure, check surfaces, and write an accurate quote.

Step 2

We handle the project

Your Dedicated Project Manager coordinates prep, colour choices, scheduling, and daily progress so you are not chasing updates.

Before the crew arrives, you know the start date, the order of work, and what to clear. Once work begins, updates come to you.

Step 3

Enjoy the finished space

We walk the job with you, settle punch-list items under our Final Walkthrough Quality Guarantee, then hand the space back clean.

After that, your 2-year workmanship warranty covers the work.

What's included with every project

Clear process, clear pricing, and a walkthrough before we call the job done. None of these are upgrades. They come with every project, whether it is one bathroom or a full strata exterior.

AI colour rendering

See colour options on a photo of your own space before we paint. Colour is one of the hardest calls on any project, and seeing it first takes out the guesswork.

Dedicated Project Manager

One point of contact from the first visit through the final walkthrough. Your project manager answers your questions, keeps the schedule on track, and walks the finished job with you.

Final Walkthrough Quality Guarantee

We walk the job with you, fix punch-list items, and back the work with a 2-year workmanship warranty. Full details are on our warranty page.

3 pricing tiers to fit your budget

Good, better, and best, written out in plain language so you can see what changes between them. Your quote shows all three side by side. Pick the one that fits. No pressure to go higher.

Financing available

Monthly payment plans for larger painting and refinishing projects. Ask when you get your quote and we will walk you through the options.

A crew that respects your space

Our in-house crews protect floors and furniture, keep work areas tidy, and clean up before they leave. You should be able to live in your home while we work, not around a mess.

Questions people ask before they book

A painting company in Metro Vancouver should make the next steps clear. Here are straight answers on cost, process, safety, and what happens next.

Pricing and booking

How much do your services cost?

Every painting company in Metro Vancouver prices differently. Here is how we do it. We visit or review photos, then present three clear tiers so you can choose the one that fits your budget. Price depends on the size of the space, the condition of the surfaces, the prep needed, and the finish level you choose. A kitchen of worn cabinets takes more prep than a single bedroom, and your quote reflects that.

What is included in my written quote?

Your quote lists the scope of work, your three pricing tier options, the deposit amount, and an estimated timeline. It also notes what comes included, such as AI colour rendering and the 2-year workmanship warranty. If anything is unclear, ask us and we will clear it up before you book. We would rather answer ten questions up front than surprise you mid-job.

How long will the project take?

Smaller jobs often finish in about a week, larger home projects in about two, and bigger strata or commercial work can take around a month. Your quote includes an estimated timeline. Weather can add time to exterior work. If your schedule moves, your project manager lets you know.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes. Every project includes our Final Walkthrough Quality Guarantee. We walk the job with you and address punch-list items before wrap-up. Your project is also backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty. Full details are on our warranty page.

Do you need a deposit before starting?

Yes. A deposit covers materials before we start. The exact amount is listed on your quote, so there are no surprises when you book.

Which payments do you accept?

E-transfer, cheque, and credit cards. Financing is available for larger projects. Ask about it when you request your quote.

During the job

Do you help us choose colours?

Yes. Colour consultation is included with every project. We show options on a photo of your own space with AI colour rendering, so you see it before we paint. Stuck between two colours? We can show both so you can compare.

Can I stay in my home while you paint?

Yes, in most cases. For interior painting, your project manager plans the order of work with you, so you know which rooms are off-limits and for how long, and the rest of the home stays usable. For cabinet projects, the kitchen is the main work area, so plan on simple meals for part of the job. Exterior painting rarely affects life inside the house.

What is the difference between cabinet painting and cabinet refinishing?

Cabinet refinishing keeps the natural wood. We clean, repair, and clear-coat it so the grain looks fresh again. Cabinet painting changes the colour. Doors, drawer fronts, boxes, and frames are prepped and finished in a new colour and sheen. If you like your wood but it looks tired, refinishing is usually the answer. If you want a different colour, painting is the way to go. Either way, you keep your existing cabinets.

When is the best time of year for exterior painting in Metro Vancouver?

Late spring through early fall usually brings the dry, mild weather exterior painting needs to cure properly. Those months fill up, so it helps to request your quote early. We watch the forecast and only paint when conditions are right. Interior and cabinet work can be scheduled year-round.

Do you work with strata councils and property managers?

Yes. We coordinate schedules, access, and parking with councils and property managers. We provide proof of insurance and WCB coverage before work begins, and your council gets progress updates as the work is completed. See our strata painting page for more.

How do I prep my home or commercial space?

Clear the work area and move valuables when you can. It is helpful but not mandatory. We protect floors and fixtures as part of the job. For cabinet projects, emptying the cabinets and clearing the counters before we arrive helps the first day go smoothly.

Safety and coverage

Are the paints safe around pets and children?

Ask us about low-VOC options. Low-VOC paints tend to have less odour. We still recommend ventilating the space while finishes dry. Tell us if anyone in the home has sensitivities and we will plan the products and ventilation around that.

Are you covered by WCB and liability insurance?

Yes. We are WCB covered and carry $5M liability insurance. We can send proof of coverage to your strata council or property manager before the job starts.

Is accessibility an issue?

Not at all. Our crew is certified to work from ladders, boom lifts, scaffolding, and scissor lifts.

Do you have someone with first aid on site at all times?

Yes. Safety comes first at Oriah, and at least one foreman with first aid training is on site.

I have another question

Call 604-337-2306 or send a note through the contact page. We are happy to help.
