Our work

A closer look at Mayda's work

Projects are grouped as residential or commercial. Open one to read where it was, what was found on site and how the work was done.

Residential

Houses across Greater Vancouver: exteriors, interiors, fences and garage floors. · 10 projects

An East Vancouver house whose exterior woodwork had gone more than ten years without paint. Mayda washed it down, scraped back the failed coating, sealed the cracks and finished with two coats.
Residential exteriors

Charcoal walls and cream trim, East Vancouver

The neighbouring house to CASE-01, and a referral from that owner. Similar age, the same decade without paint, and rotten wood around the upper windows that had to be replaced before anything was coated.
Residential exteriors

Deep red walls and green gables, next door in East Vancouver

A heritage-style house on the Vancouver West Side where another painter had worked for two months and been called back twice. Mayda sanded the whole interior back and rebuilt the finish, two painters and more, over two weeks.
Residential interiors

Putting a botched interior right, Vancouver West Side

A 7,000-plus square foot home near Blundell Road and No. 5 Road in Richmond, where the fence had never been coated. The owner picked one colour for the walls and the fence, and it went on as solid stain, sprayed twice.
Fences

First coat on a bare fence, Richmond

A kitchen in the style of a house thirty to forty years old, with the original wood-tone cabinets making the room look dated. The owner was preparing to sell and wanted the white finish buyers expect today.

A residential garage floor in Burnaby coated in epoxy, with decorative flake broadcast into the surface while it was still wet. The grey ground and the flake together hide dust and tyre marks, and the coating takes the heat, the turning friction and the oil that a garage floor gets.

A townhouse complex in Burnaby photographed mid-job: balconies and railings wrapped, planting covered, the elevation ready for coating. People live here while the work goes on, so the masking is part of the job rather than an afterthought.

A North Vancouver house in cedar shingles, kept in a warm natural tone, with fascia, brackets, window frames and deck rails carried in charcoal. A Mayda painter is at work on the left of the frame. Two finishes on one house, and they do not age at the same rate.
Residential exteriors

Cedar shingles kept warm, trim kept charcoal, North Vancouver

A craftsman house in North Vancouver: cedar shingles above, stone at the base, and every timber element — gable beams, brackets, window frames, porch posts and railings — carried in a near-black. The dark work is what holds the front together, and it is also the work that takes the most weather.
Residential exteriors

A craftsman front in cedar and near-black timber, North Vancouver

Slate-grey shingle walls with white window sashes behind dark frames, an arched porch in the same deep grey, and granite at the base. A near-monochrome front where the only contrast is in the glazing bars — which means every edge has to be cut clean.

Commercial & industrial

Offices, commercial frontages and plant equipment, from feature walls to steel silos. · 3 projects

Around West 8th Avenue and Oak Street there are a lot of heritage houses — old, protected, and unusual in shape. This one is used as an office, and the owner wanted something that did not look like everyone else's.

A food-processing plant in Delta runs two exterior silos that hold flour. After years in service the steel had gone to rust. Mayda ground the rust back to bare metal, primed with an oil-based rust inhibitor and laid the top coat on by roller.
Industrial

Flour silos taken back from rust, Delta food plant

A commercial building in Burnaby, in painted concrete block: a yellow body, deep red columns and fascia, a dark green base course, and a white roll-up door. Three colours and four materials on one frontage, each needing its own preparation.
