Residential interiors
Whole-home painting with razor-clean cuts, level walls, and Sherwin-Williams colour that holds in island light — cottages to new builds.

Colour that lives on the island.
Residential, strata, and commercial painting from Nanaimo to Campbell River. Precision cuts. Honest timelines. Finishes that hold up to Pacific weather.
The studio
Painting, treated like joinery.
DML Projects is a Courtenay crew built for the island: strata turnovers that actually land on time, commercial rooms that reopen looking considered, and houses where the cut-in is the whole point. Twenty-five years. No theatre. Just walls that hold the light.

What we do
From a single room to a whole building.
Interiors, exteriors, strata, commercial, and Sherwin-Williams colour — painting, with prep done properly.
Exteriors that weather
Pacific rain, salt air, cedar, stucco. We spec coatings that last, prep properly, and leave a house that looks newly considered — not freshly slapped.
Commercial & hospitality
Cafés, offices, and retail that need to reopen on time. Quiet crews, after-hours work, and a finish clients notice without asking who painted.
Strata & property managers
Turnovers between tenants and common-area refresh — Campbell River to Nanaimo. Fast windows. Minor drywall repairs included with the paint.
Sherwin-Williams colour
We work from the Sherwin-Williams deck. The right grey is never just grey — we read the light in your rooms and leave you with a colour that belongs here.
Prep & minor drywall
Nail pops, hairline cracks, and small patches are included with every paint job. Larger drywall is quoted on site — never a surprise on the last day.

Rooms, after.
Sherwin-Williams
Try a wall before we lift a brush.
We spec Sherwin-Williams. Island light is cooler than a showroom — tap a colour, then we confirm it on site, for free. On-screen colour is approximate.

How we work
Four steps. No surprises on the last day.
01
Walk the rooms
A free on-site visit. We look at substrate, light, weather exposure, and what actually needs doing — not what a form guessed.
02
Spec the finish
Sherwin-Williams colour, sheen, and product. Low-VOC as the default. Coatings that survive a west-coast winter when you need them.
03
Prep like it matters
Fill, sand, prime, protect. Minor drywall repairs are included. We do not skip prep to win a timeline.
04
Leave it quiet
A clean site, a true colour, edges you can run a fingernail along. Most residential work wraps inside a week.
Ballpark
A number to start the conversation.
Vancouver Island ranges, not a bid. Minor drywall repairs are included. The free on-site visit is what makes the number real.

Why they keep calling.
“Piotr and his partner painted the exterior of our home recently. They did a phenomenal job and went above and beyond, doing extra things that required more than painting expertise, such as fixing cracks, replacing the downspout, etc. These are things that we would have had to hire multiple other people to do. From the start of the project, they were professional, courteous, friendly, timely and easy to communicate with. Piotr was also very knowledgeable about using the right technique and type of paint for vinyl siding. His keen attention to detail and overall quality of his work is exceptional.”
“DML Projects painted our interior and renovated our office space. Piotr was fantastic to work with! He offered great suggestions, provided many paint samples until we found the right colour, the job was done in the time he estimated and the quality of work was excellent. I would happily use DML Projects again.”
“Piotr and his team did an excellent job painting the interior of our home. They were able to accommodate a few last minute changes and the work was done very efficiently for a reasonable cost. Would highly recommend DML!”
“Piotr went above and beyond on our full house repaint! Not only was DML projects amazing with getting a quote to help add renovations on our mortgage but they did an absolutely spectacular job on our home! They were friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, so tidy/ clean and guided us with a paint product/ colour to help achieve our home goals. You will 100000% not regret going with DML projects.”
