Garage Door Painting Services
Kamloops and the Thompson Valley see some of the highest UV exposure in BC. Professional repainting protects and revives garage doors that our sun has bleached.
UV-Rated Paint Built for the Thompson Valley Sun
UV-Rated Paint Built for the Thompson Valley Sun
Kamloops, Chase, and the Thompson Valley get more annual sunshine hours than most of BC. That sun is gorgeous - until you notice what it's done to your garage door. Dark colours fade. Whites yellow. Factory finishes crack where they meet the panels. A door that looked sharp ten years ago can drag your home's curb appeal down by the time it's fifteen.
A professional repaint is a fraction of the cost of replacement and dramatically revives the exterior of your home. Garage doors often make up 25-35% of a home's front-facing surface - repainting one is the highest-visibility exterior upgrade you can do in a single day. We match any colour, including exact matches to your existing trim or siding, and use UV-stabilized exterior paints specifically rated for the Thompson-Shuswap's sun load.
The work is in the prep. We wash, sand, spot-prime, and address any rust or delamination before a single topcoat goes on. We schedule around weather (paint needs stable temperatures and no rain for 24-48 hours), and we typically finish a residential door in a single day. Expect 5-7 years of durable finish before a refresh is needed - longer on north-facing doors, shorter on south-facing ones under direct sun.

Why Choose Us for Door Painting
Frequently Asked Questions
Can all garage doors be painted?
Steel and wood doors paint beautifully. Aluminum needs specific primers. Vinyl-overlay doors generally should not be painted - the paint won't bond long-term. We'll honestly advise on-site.
How long does paint last in the Thompson-Shuswap?
5-7 years for south-facing doors, 7-10 years for north-facing. UV exposure is the main factor. Darker colours fade faster than lighter ones under our sun.
When is the best time to paint?
Mid-spring through early fall, during stable weather with temperatures above 10°C and no rain in the 48-hour forecast. We avoid mid-summer extreme heat days (paint dries too fast) and cold snaps (paint won't cure properly).
How much does it cost?
Typical residential garage door repainting runs $400-$800 depending on size, condition, and prep required. Free quotes at (778) 910-3106.
Can you change the colour completely?
Yes. With proper primer and prep, we can paint a dark door light or vice versa. Colour change jobs require an extra coat or two for full coverage.
