  We had our new-to-us 20+ year old home painted by Chris and his team in fall 2021. They were clean and quick, and their work is amazing. They offer touchups for a period of time after the work is done which was a selling point for me. They are busy so it's been difficult to get them in to do the touchups, but I'm hopeful it will happen soon. Chris is well connected to other trades which was convenient as we had a few other small jobs we wanted address and he helped us connect with the right people for fair prices.

  We hired Harding's Services to fix a closet door that fell off the hinges and was too difficult for us to fix ourselves. Harding's was prompt with booking the service, they did an amazing job without taking a long time! They were beyond kind and patient, especially with me who has the home improvement knowledge of a squirrel, and I would recommend using Harding's Services to anyone needing any variety of home improvements!

  We had our entire interior repainted; ceilings, walls, trim and cupboards. We are thoroughly satisfied with the quality of the work and the professionalism of communications. We've painted many walls over the years but never did our do-it-yourself projects result in the quality of application as accomplished by Chris's crew. Simply excellent.

  I got a call from Chris as he was going to do my on site painting of my kitchen & bathroom cabinets. He works with Quality Furniture Refinishing who does the off site cabinet doors. Chris had recently been  injured from a fall and couldn’t come in right away. He sent his painting team ( Rob & Mel) to get my place ready for the on site spraying. OMG!  No small feat in a confined kitchen. They were so awesome, they felt like family right away. Personable, friendly & most important for me was the quality of their work. Detailed & fastidious about the work they were doing. Then Chris comes after and checks for any small details that might have been missed. I had decided to see if I could get the bathroom & kitchen walls repainted to freshen them up. I had bought the paint to match the existing color, no problem, it was done to perfection.
Between Harding’s Services & Quality Furniture Refinishing, I felt very fortunate to come upon two companies that treated me like I was an important customer. My place is small condo, it’s not a million dollar home but they made me feel like I was a very important client. As a senior, well let me just say..
Thank you very much!

  We contacted Chris a month before we needed work to be done. We had sold our home and needed help with touch ups and painting walls in that home and in the new home we needed help with installing art and help with set up of shelving etc.  Chris was punctual and professional and did a great job in both homes. We were very grateful for his expertise.

Chris is a professional painter and handyman who has started within Harding’s in 2017 as a subcontractor for Attila Draskoczy. Chris and his family now reside in Kelowna, BC where his wife was born and raised on an orchard in Lake Country. They returned to Kelowna to start their franchise in the Okanagan in 2019.

Tips & Tricks – Ensuring you get a quality Paint Job from your Painting Team

1. Ditch the DiY

Painting is something that’s more subjective than objective, a good paint job involves a lot of artistry—besides product knowledge and great prep work, you need a painter who seriously knows what they are doing.

2. Prep can take a long time

At least 30% of a good-quality paint job will be prep time. That’s where less-qualified painters lower their bids. That’s where problems come with paint getting on things it shouldn’t be.

The differences between a rushed paint job and one done properly are enormous: paint on the walls and everything else; uncleaned walls leading to a splotchy paint job; your favorite couch ruined by a misguided spatter. It’s easy to not put a dropcloth down. All that stuff takes time.

Keep an eye out for the painters that skimp on prep—the best way to find detail-oriented contractors is to ask previous customers for a reference.

3. Make sure your home is ready to paint

Don’t leave all the prep work to the painters. Things will go much smoother if you make sure your home is truly painter-ready.

For interior jobs, make sure you’ve cleaned all of the awkward spots, including behind the toilet, and picked up any knickknacks that might get in the way (e.g., soap containers, loofahs, and kitchen organizers).

For exterior jobs, the Master Painters Institute recommends trimming bushes and shrubs away from the house, leaving at least 18 inches of clearance. Making sure your gutters and downspouts are in “tiptop condition” can also speed up the painting process.

4. Ask for touch-ups right away

After the paint job is finished, ask for a walk-through. Most painters should offer this regardless.

Pick it apart. We want to get it all done while we’re there. Don’t be afraid to have a list of touch-ups.

Look at your house from a different angle, perspective and in different lighting but keep in mind that Master Painters Institute dictates that imperfections should be criticized from 4′ – straight on in normal lighting. Regardless, a good painter will work through imperfections of the paint job with you.

5. Compare the particulars of the bid

It’s tough to over-emphasize the importance of hiring painters who provide detailed bids before painting your house. Deciding between two or three contractors is hard enough; it’s more so if you’re relying on pure guesswork. A bid that is scribbled down on a napkin, isn’t a bid at all.

Look at the material costs. You don’t need to go with the painter who buys the most expensive caulk but don’t go with the cheapest, either. Since painting is an art, materials are it’s medium—and cheap paint shows. I use quality products from Sherwin Williams.

People sometimes confuse price with value. If you have to repaint your house twice as often because of cost-cutting methods taken to provide a lower price than you would have with a fairly priced good job, that’s not really a great value.
