Before you book a painter across West Vancouver, BC
- Insist on pre-job site walkthroughs documented with timestamped photographs covering staging zones, existing-condition baselines, and adjacent-property impact considerations across the West Vancouver parcel.
- Verify subcontractor disclosure: itemise which sub-trades the lead painter intends to bring on board, plus their respective WSIB-or-WCB clearance status.
