A Family Legacy of Paint, Forged on the West Coast
For over 80 years, the name Cloverdale Paint has been synonymous with quality, durability, and community on the West Coast. As a family-owned Canadian paint manufacturer, our story began not in a corporate boardroom, but in a small shop in Cloverdale, a neighbourhood in Surrey, British Columbia, built on the principle that Canadian homes and professionals deserve paints engineered specifically for our demanding environment. For generations, we’ve served builders, painters, and homeowners who trust a product made close to home, by people who understand local challenges, from coastal humidity to mountain winters.
Today, we’re writing a new chapter. We are proudly bringing our legacy of Canadian-made paint quality to Ontario. You might wonder, “Why would a successful BC paint company come to Ontario?” The answer is simple: we believe our commitment to craftsmanship, our community values, and our relentless focus on performance are exactly what Ontario homeowners and professionals deserve. This isn’t a corporate expansion; it’s a meeting of like-minded values. We’re here not just to sell paint, but to become your trusted local partner, investing in Ontario’s communities, homes, and future.
More Than a Product: Our Core Promise to Ontario
Coming to Ontario means listening first. We understand that trust is earned, not given. Our commitment is built on three pillars that directly benefit you:
Uncompromising Quality for Canadian Extremes: Our paints aren’t just generic formulas rebranded. They are specially formulated for Canadian climates. Whether it’s resisting the freeze-thaw cycles that challenge exterior finishes or offering superior hide and washability for busy family interiors, our products are built to perform where it matters.
Investment in the Local Economy: Choosing Cloverdale means supporting Canadian jobs and local businesses. We are establishing roots through local, owner-operated paint stores across Ontario. These stores are staffed by Ontarians, creating local employment and ensuring you get knowledgeable, face-to-face advice.
Community Partnership: We believe a business should strengthen its community. We are actively seeking partnerships with local tradespeople, contractors, and community projects across Ontario, from supporting local sports teams to contributing to neighbourhood revitalization efforts.
Engineered for Ontario: How Our Paint Meets Local Demands
Ontario’s climate and architecture present unique challenges. Homes face humid summers, cold winters with significant freeze-thaw action, and a diverse mix of materials from historic brick to modern vinyl siding. A one-size-fits-all paint solution fails here.
Our approach is different. We bring paint formulated for Ontario’s specific needs:
For Your Climate: Our exterior paints are designed with exceptional flexibility and adhesion to withstand seasonal expansion and contraction, preventing cracking and peeling. Our interior lines offer advanced mould and mildew resistance for basements and bathrooms.
For Your Home’s Character: Whether you’re refreshing a century home in Ottawa, a modern condo in Toronto, or a cottage in Muskoka, we provide the right sheens, colours, and primers for the substrate, ensuring beauty that lasts.
For Your Peace of Mind: We offer low-VOC and zero-VOC options for healthier indoor air quality, such as our Ecologic and Renaissance lines, because your family’s well-being is as important as the finish on your walls.
Your Invitation to Experience the Difference
We are excited to introduce Ontario to the Cloverdale difference: the deep, rich colours; the smooth, durable finish; and the confidence that comes from using a product crafted with care right here in Canada.
This is more than paint. It’s the pride of Canadian manufacturing, the support of local jobs, and a promise of quality that stands the test of time and weather.
