Full prep, durable finishes, 3-year warranty.
These are the three main reasons we paint our homes. Not only is the exterior the first thing we see when we get home, it’s the first line of defense in protecting what is, for most of us, a major investment. After 30+ years painting exteriors, we have the expertise to properly prep and paint all types of exterior substrates.
What don’t we do? Here is a list of just a few of the exterior painting we do:
With an emphasis on quality team training, thorough site walkthroughs and systems to identify any potential safety hazards, you can rest easy and let the professionals transform the exterior of your home. Up to date insurance is included on every proposal and a fresh WCB clearance letter can be generated at your request!
Dreamscape is headquartered right here in Abbotsford, with an office on King Road anchoring crews that cover the city’s full mix of housing, from stucco bungalows built through the 1970s and 1980s in Clearbrook to the Hardie-board subdivisions rising near Eagle Mountain and Abbotsford West.

Abbotsford is the wettest city in the Fraser Valley, and most of that rain falls between October and March, which is why our exterior season runs May through early October. The low-lying farmland around Sumas Prairie holds ground moisture longer after a storm than the benchlands around it, so siding and trim out that way sometimes need extra drying time before a coat goes on. On the other side of the city, Eagle Mountain’s west-facing stucco and Hardie board catch more direct summer heat, which speeds drying but can also make a coating set too fast if a crew isn’t watching conditions closely. Acreage properties around Bradner and Mount Lehman add their own timing pressure, since barns, fencing, and outbuildings need the same drying windows as the main house. We won’t apply a coating unless overnight temperatures hold above 2°C, and moisture meters get checked on every job before work starts, whether that’s a Clearbrook bungalow or a Sumas Prairie farmhouse.
– Acreage properties in Bradner and Mount Lehman often include barns, fencing, and outbuildings that add surface area well beyond a standard Clearbrook lot.
– Sumas Prairie’s low-lying farmland holds ground moisture longer after a storm than the benchlands above it, which can push back a drying window.
– Clayburn Village’s early-1900s cottages sometimes reveal failed caulking or bare wood once old paint is scraped, and that repair has to cure before primer goes on.
– The newer Hardie-board subdivisions near Eagle Mountain and Abbotsford West are usually a quicker repaint than older stucco, since there is less bare-wood prep involved.
Every Abbotsford exterior quote starts with a free on-site visit, not a guess over the phone — stucco bungalows in Clearbrook and newer Hardie board near Eagle Mountain prep differently, and that affects the number. What you get back is one fixed price, good for 30 days, that already bundles labour, materials, and tax, so it only moves if the scope of the job does.
May through early October is our exterior season, and in Abbotsford that window carries more weight than in some neighbouring cities, since Abbotsford is the wettest city in the Fraser Valley. We also hold off on coatings until overnight temperatures stay above 2°C, so a booking near the season’s edges can get squeezed by an early cold snap, especially out on the Sumas Prairie lowlands.
Yes. Stucco is common on older Clearbrook and Historic Downtown homes, Hardie board and vinyl show up on the newer subdivisions near Eagle Mountain and Abbotsford West, and cedar siding, fencing, and outbuildings are typical on the acreages around Bradner and Mount Lehman. We prep and coat all of them, including any bare wood or caulking repairs the surface needs first.
A repaint can run anywhere from a single day to about two weeks — it comes down to the home’s size, the siding, and how much repair the surface needs. Acreage properties toward Bradner and Mount Lehman, with barns and outbuildings alongside the main house, tend to land at the longer end, and the crew lead builds in a weather cushion given how much rain Abbotsford gets over the year.
