About Chartier Painting - Your Local Lower Mainland Painting Experts

Meet Tim Chartier -

Red Seal Certified Painter

For over 20 years, Tim Chartier has been transforming homes and businesses across the Lower Mainland with quality painting services that stand the test of time. What started as a passion for craftsmanship has grown into Chartier Painting—a trusted name in residential and commercial painting throughout Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Mission, and surrounding communities.

Our Story

Chartier Painting was built on a simple belief: homeowners and businesses deserve honest, skilled painting services without the runaround. Tim earned his Red Seal Certification—Canada’s highest standard for trade professionals—and has spent two decades perfecting his craft across almost every type of coating application imaginable.

From heritage home restorations to modern new builds, from delicate interior finishes to weather-resistant exterior coatings, Tim has seen it all. But what truly sets Chartier Painting apart isn’t just technical skill—it’s the personal approach. When you work with us, you’re not dealing with a large corporation or getting passed between salespeople and subcontractors. You work directly with Tim and his trusted crew from your first phone call to the final walkthrough.

Why We’re Different

We’re Local & We Care

Based in Maple Ridge, we’re part of the Lower Mainland community. We live here, work here, and take pride in making our neighbors’ properties look their best. Your home or business isn’t just another job—it’s a reflection of our reputation in the community we call home.
No Pressure, No Games

We don’t believe in high-pressure sales tactics or inflated quotes. When Tim provides an estimate, it’s detailed, transparent, and fair. We explain what needs to be done and why, and we never try to upsell you on services you don’t need.
Quality Over Quantity

As a small, owner-operated business, we take on a limited number of projects at a time. This means every job gets Tim’s personal attention and the time it deserves. We’re not rushing through your project to get to the next one—we’re focused on doing it right.
Respect for Your Home

We treat every property like it’s our own. That means showing up on time, keeping work areas clean, protecting your belongings, and communicating clearly throughout the process. Our clients consistently tell us they appreciate how tidy and respectful we are.

What Red Seal Certification Means for You

Tim’s Red Seal Certification isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s your assurance of professional-grade expertise. To earn this designation, Tim completed rigorous training, passed comprehensive national exams, and demonstrated mastery of painting techniques, safety standards, and industry best practices.

When you hire a Red Seal certified painter, you’re getting:

Proven technical knowledge and skill
Understanding of proper surface preparation and paint application
Expertise in color theory and product selection
Commitment to safety and professional standards
Ongoing education in the latest techniques and materials

Our Approach to Every Project

Listen First

We start by understanding your vision, concerns, and budget. What are you hoping to achieve? What problems need solving? We ask questions and really listen to your answers.

Honest Assessment

Clear Communication

You’ll receive a detailed estimate that breaks down exactly what we’ll do and what it costs. No confusing jargon, no hidden fees, no surprises.

Quality Workmanship

We use professional-grade materials and proven techniques. Proper surface preparation, precise application, clean lines, and smooth finishes—we don’t cut corners.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend of mine recommended Tim; she is extremely fussy and couldn’t say enough about the work he and his team did.  I recently purchased an apartment and was wanting to have it painted top to bottom.  My friend was so right!!!  Tim, Sheldon, and Jason did an amazing job from all the prep - filling nail holes, and caulking crown mouldings and baseboards - to the final cleanup, and everything in between.  Everything looks brand new.  The staging at the end of the job was very thoughtful.  I arrived to see the suite completely cleaned up, vacuumed, window blinds all in the same position - the unveiling was like none other that I had experienced from any contractor over many renovations I’ve had done over the years.  If I could give Tim and the team 10 stars I would gladly do so.  Highly, highly recommend Chartier Painting.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you Tim, Sheldon and Jason.  You’re the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We picked Tim and his team to repaint our exterior trim, features, and doors based on the quality of the work they did for our neighbours. They did a great job and were prompt, friendly, and attentive to quality. We have no regrets and happily share a recommendation here - we will use them again for other jobs.

The quality of the work was high and everything was cleaned up very well. Definitely recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chartier painting was recommended to us by a friend who had them painting for her. They had a mammoth task to cover dark blue black paint. They went far beyond what the job required. There are three of them and they did an awesome job. No mess all cleaned up. I would recommend them to anyone who needs painting done by professionals. The cost was also reasonable for the job. 20 out of 20
