Add detail to your door accents, baseboards and trim.
BC trim painters
The first thing every guest notices and quietly takes notes on are the touchups along your front door and baseboards. It’s wild to think, but it’s true. Door and trim painting is like the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola of upgrades to your home because its one of those features the connects the whole operation.
We're the top local painting and contracting company who have been improving your chipped trim and refinishing those doors from Mount Currie to Crooked Park, and we've noticed something a lot of homeowners don't figure until it’s pointed out by a professional like us. Anyone can repaint every wall in your home whether it’s a bedroom ensuite reno, full basement apartment paint job, or garage painting. But if those doors and trim are chipped, yellowed, or covered in a decade of dog scratches and fingerprints, the entire room is taken down a notch. Around the frame of everything else, if your baseboard trim and doors are scuffed up it can seem like the rest of the house is falling apart and incomplete.
Alex built this BC painting company because plenty of our neighbours in Squamish, Whistler, ad Pemberton were blind to their flaking doors and trim. Even potentially hiring someone who slaps coats of paint missing crucial prep work, then expecting it to look anywhere near it should. Because it will be within a year. We know that mountain living is hard on homes here with melting boot snow, gear from a day on the Sea to Sky Gondola, and a trail of kids smalling doors reading out to the Village Stroll. Any door and trim painting service around must hold up, not just puff itself for a magazine piece for the month.
Our values are straightforward in that Alex and his Eclipse Painting company crew will arrive on time and talk about the work you need, and stay with you until the baseboard painting is done. We treat every door and every baseboard like it's going in a home we'd be proud to walk into ourselves, whether that's a condo near Blackcomb Way or a custom build in Pemberton Meadows that’s begging for a magazine cover.

Choosing the Right Exterior Door Paint
Doors take more daily abuse as much as any bathroom on your main floor or laundry room washing machine. Your front facing interior and exterior doors have their own set of challenges. with constant contact, oily fingerprints from solicitors, and the occasional sneeze from dogs and kids on the bottom panel. For these reasons, any paint contractor in BC must apply durable, washable enamel to fight against scuffing and build its value with a quality finish through years of daily use.
Exterior doors have the reputation of a much tougher fight against the Sea to Sky climate specifically, with exposure from UV, driving rain off Howe Sound, and temperature highs and lows that can crack or peel a poorly prepped finish within a single season. Performance is done through prep with our dedicated sanding, priming paint, and sealing exterior doors before applying weather resistant paint or stain, then lastly paying close attention to edges and the bottom of the door to prevent moisture from creeping in. You might have seen our Eclipse Painting and Contracting truck around Alpine Meadows, Garibaldi Highlands, the Whistler Museum and Hunter Gather grabbing a bite, where our customers have seen everything from heavy snow load winters to humid summers stretching their limits.
Painting door trim
If you have read this far, you know that we wrote about how trim painting is a major detail that can feature any room to highlight it’s sharp look. Or it could quietly undermine everything else you've worked hard on. At the base of the issue are baseboards catching every scuff from vacuum cleaners, wet boots, and furniture being moved, while window casings around big mountain view windows in Cheakamus Crossing and Emerald Estates take a beating from condensation and direct sunlight. Since nobody wants to repaint their kitchen baseboards every few seasons, the best painting services apply a durable, low sheen enamel on trim and baseboards so yellowing doesn’t happen, and it will hold up to cleaning. Everyone is after sharp and crisp, clean lines between the trim and the wall colour matter, and you should expect it. That truly happy look brings joy and it's the difference between a room that looks professionally finished and one that looks like a rushed weekend project, and getting those lines sharp takes patience, good tape work, and a steady hand, not just a fast roller from Home Hardware.
Staircase and Railing Painting Services
There are high traffic areas, and then there are your staircases. Railings and staircases get overlooked constantly, but they’re such a visibly noticeable feature of your home and also as a gateway to your second level or basement. Whether it's a full staircase in a Squamish family home or built in railings along a mudroom in a Pemberton property, there is a wide variety of prep and finish work our contractors handle to make these surfaces both beautiful and resistant.
Staircases get heavy thumping from kids running up and down, boots thrown at them from the trim at your front door, along with railings holding weight from people swinging around. Those actions require a special finish that can handle constant hand contact without wearing thin or looking dull within a year, so we lean on cabinet grade and trim specific enamels built for high touch surfaces rather than standard wall paint, which simply isn't made for that kind of daily contact.
Frquently Asked Questions
-
Doors, trim, and baseboards take significantly more time per square foot than open wall space because of all the cutting in, taping, and detail work involved around hinges, hardware, and corners. A wall can be rolled quickly, but trim requires careful brushwork and patience to get clean, professional lines. That’s why our labour reflects that extra time and precision, after all, it’s your home that we’re trying to perfect.
-
Yes, depending on the door and what look you're going for. We can repaint your garage door to match your front door, refinish painted exterior doors to give you full colour flexibility, and hide wear and tear on both over time. Options like stained doors show off natural wood grain, but for any type, we'll walk you through which solution makes more sense for your specific door material and sun exposure.
-
Most enamel trim paints are dry to the touch within a few hours but need several days to fully cure and reach their maximum hardness and durability. We'll let you know the specific timeline for the product used on your project so you know when it's safe to resume normal cleaning and daily traffic without risking marks in the fresh finish.
