Meet Our Owners

Islanders’ Choice Painting Co. wasn’t started to become the biggest painting contractor in Victoria. Evan and Dave started it to become the most trusted.

Before founding the company in 2019, Evan and Dave had both seen the same problems over and over in the painting industry: unreliable contractors, poor communication, surprise charges, and work that looked fine on day one but didn’t last. Homeowners were left frustrated, and good painters were lumped in with bad operators. They knew there had to be a better way.

So they built one.

From the beginning, Evan focused on systems, communication, and the customer experience, while Dave focused on production, quality control, and doing the work properly in the field. Together, they set a simple standard: do what you say you’re going to do, show up when you say you will, and never cut corners on prep or materials.

Islanders’ Choice Painting Co. grew from a small crew into a team of 30+ professionals completing hundreds of projects each year across Greater Victoria. What hasn’t changed is how the company operates: clear expectations, honest pricing, skilled painters, and work that’s meant to last — not just pass inspection.

When you work with Islanders’ Choice Painting Co., you’re working with local owners who are directly involved in the business, accountable for the results, and committed to delivering an experience they’d expect in their own homes.

Our Mission

At Islanders’ Choice Painting Co, our mission is simple: redefine what professional painting looks like in Greater Victoria.

We exist to eliminate the stress, uncertainty, and disappointment that have become synonymous with hiring contractors. Every system we’ve built, every person we’ve hired, and every decision we make is filtered through one lens: Does this serve our customers better?

We believe painting your home shouldn’t require you to gamble on whether the crew will show up, whether the quote will hold, or whether the work will last. It should be predictable, professional, and actually enjoyable.

That’s why we’ve completed over 2,000 projects with zero BBB complaints. That’s why our clients give us 200+ five-star reviews. And that’s why Victoria homeowners trust us with their most valuable asset: their home.

Our mission isn’t just to paint walls. It’s to build trust, deliver peace of mind, and create experiences so positive that our customers become our loudest advocates.

Our Core Values

Trust

We always gain trust from our first interaction and maintain it until the last. We do what we say we’re going to do.

Trust is earned in moments and lost in seconds. That’s why every promise we make, from showing up on time to honoring our No-Surprise Guarantee, is treated as sacred.

Quality

Quality always comes before short-term profit because quality always increases profit in the long term.

We could save money by using cheaper paint. We could rush through surface prep to squeeze in more jobs. We could hire less experienced painters and pay them less. But we don’t, because cutting corners today destroys reputations.

Extreme Ownership

We always empower and expect our people to think and act like owners. We always take complete ownership of the results of our actions.
When something goes wrong on a project, there are no excuses and no finger-pointing.

Our team takes ownership, fixes the issue, and learns from it. This culture of accountability starts at the top with Evan and extends to every painter, project manager, and office team member.

Perpetual Improvement

This commitment to perpetual improvement is why our process feels effortless to clients. It didn’t start that way. It took years of refinement, feedback, and honest self-assessment to build the systems we have today.

And we’re still improving. Because the day we stop getting better is the day we start falling behind. Our customers deserve our best effort, not our comfortable routine.
