Every Colour is Green with Port City Painting

Sustainability at Port City Painting

Eco-Friendly Painting with Integrity

At Port City Painting, sustainability isn’t a buzzword; it’s at the core of how we work. Serving Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant and Cedar Cottage neighbourhoods, we offer environmentally conscious painting services for homeowners who care deeply about the health of their homes and the planet.

What sets us apart? Our painter arrives by pedal bike and trailer, eliminating fossil fuel emissions from daily operations. By avoiding vehicle use entirely, we shrink our carbon footprint while pedaling toward a greener future.

Minimizing VOCS for Healthier Indoor Air

Did you know your walls and ceilings make up the largest surface area inside your home? This means that your choice of paint has a major impact on your indoor air quality.

We exclusively use low-VOC and zero-VOC paints, which help reduce exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), harmful gases released by traditional paints, synthetic building materials, and household products. VOCs are linked to respiratory issues, headaches, and long-term health risks. Indoors, VOC levels can be up to ten times higher than outdoors.

We help families breathe easier by:

  • Selecting non-toxic, durable paints for safer living spaces

  • Sealing in older oil-based paints to prevent lingering emissions

Thoughtful Materials and Waste Reduction

Eco-friendly painting means being intentional at every step:

  • Reuse of brushes and tools whenever practical

  • Conscious decision-making around plastic use on job sites

  • Efficient planning to reduce product waste and excess packaging

Our sustainability practices reflect a values-driven approach to craftsmanship and environmental stewardship.

We’re proud to serve homeowners across Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, and Cedar Cottage, where community and sustainability go hand in hand.
