Painting walls after water damage restoration

Request restoration painting

Tell us which rooms and whether drywall is already closed.

Why restoration painting is its own trade

You are matching three rooms that never flooded to one that did — sheen, colour, and texture have to agree

After the board is ready

Paint goes on finished, dry drywall — not as a way to hide a stain.

Match or upgrade

Like-for-like colour is the default. A new palette is a written choice.

Kitchen and bath

Finishes sequenced with cabinets, tile, and membranes — not paint on a wet shower.

Occupied homes

Containment and protection so dry rooms do not take overspray.

Kitchen restoration finishes after water damage

Post-restoration painting in Greater Vancouver

A flood job that stops at bare drywall is not finished. Shield paints as part of the same restoration ticket so you are not hiring a separate painter who never saw the water line.

Kitchens and baths often need more than paint — membranes, cabinets, fixtures. We specify that while assemblies are open. Call to include painting in your restoration scope.

FAQ

Painting FAQ

Shield — painting across Greater Vancouver.

Do you colour-match rooms that did not flood?

Yes. Restoration painting matches adjacent walls and millwork, or follows a new schedule if you authorized an upgrade in writing.

Can you paint a still-wet wall?

No. Paint goes on finished, dry drywall. Painting over moisture or mould is not part of our scope.

Do you paint kitchens and baths after a leak?

Yes, after waterproofing, drywall, and any cabinet work. Wet rooms are sequenced — not painted on a damp shower assembly.

Which areas do you serve?

Yes. We serve Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, Surrey, Coquitlam, and surrounding Greater Vancouver communities within ~50 km.
