Welcome to our new series: Ask Brook!
Brook’s the owner here at Third Generation Painters - and he’s here to drop tips, advice, and everything you should know about keeping your home in top shape.
First up, 3 signs it’s time to repaint your stucco exterior 👇
✅ You’re seeing small cracks or hairline fractures - those can let water in and lead to bigger issues down the line.
✅ The colour looks faded or chalky - a sign the UV protection has worn off.
✅ You’re spotting areas where moisture’s soaking in - stucco is porous, and without a proper paint seal, it doesn’t stand a chance in Okanagan weather.
If any of these sound familiar, it might be time for a refresh.
Got a painting or home care question for Brook to tackle next? Drop it in the comments - we’re taking requests! 😎

Say hey to Liam! 👋
He’s been onsite with us for a couple weeks now, joining the crew for the summer as he wraps up university.
When he’s not brushing out clean paint lines, Liam’s a varsity volleyball athlete - so you could say he knows a thing or two about setting up the team for a win!
We’re pumped to have him onboard this season. If you see him onsite give him a wave (or challenge him to a serve - your call!) 😎

And with that, the crew has wrapped up this gorgeous stucco repaint in North BX 👊
We took the exterior from a faded brown to Gloucester Sage by @benjaminmoorevernon - a next level change, just like the protection it brings.
This home is now sealed and ready to handle the sun, rain, and whatever else the Okanagan seasons throw at it ☀️🌧️
Big shoutout to the crew for crushing it on this one 👏

Say hey to Will - another one of our awesome senior painters on the Third Generation crew! 👋🏻
Originally from the UK, Will’s been living the mountain life in Fernie for the past few years before making the move to Vernon. With a calm presence and years of painting experience under his belt, he’s already become a key part of the team.
He’s all about clean work, good vibes, and making sure every project hits the mark. 😎
We’re lucky to have him - give him a wave if you spot him on-site this summer!

Did you know that when stucco starts to fade or crumble, it’s more than just cosmetic - it can lead to deeper cracks and let moisture sneak in over time?
Out here in the Okanagan, that intense summer sun does a number on unprotected exteriors ☀️
That’s why giving your stucco a fresh coat of UV-resistant paint isn’t just about curb appeal - it’s a smart move for long-term protection.
On this BX project, we started with a full wash to clean the surface and make sure the new paint could bond properly 💪
When the prep’s done right and the product’s built to last, you get a finish that looks good and holds up season after season.
Got stucco that’s seen better days? Let’s chat.

Say hey to Brad - one of our senior painters on the Third Generation team! 😎
Originally from Ontario, Brad made the move out west last fall and jumped right into life in the Okanagan. He brings a positive, go-getter attitude to every job and helps keep the crew moving with good energy and a solid work ethic.
When he’s not on-site, there’s a good chance you’ll find him out chasing birdies on the golf course ⛳️
We’re stoked to have him on board this season - give him a wave if you see him out with the crew!

We’re out in Okanagan Landing this week giving this place a proper refresh with a custom colour match from @benjaminmoorevernon - same great shade, just brought back to life!
And while the final look isn’t a dramatic change, what *really* makes the difference is the work you don’t always see: sanding down old paint, priming bare wood sections, recaulking windows, and getting every surface ready for a long-lasting finish 💪
Prep work is where the magic happens — and it’s a big part of what sets our team apart. We take pride in doing things the right way, not the fast way!

That’s a wrap on this exterior beauty on Westside Road!
Swipe to see the before, where we brought the faded red siding back to life with a bold, earthy green from @benjaminmoorevernon 👀
We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out - big shoutout to the crew for the solid work on this one.
Thinking about your own exterior refresh? Give us a call or send us a DM - we’re happy to chat!

Meet Brook 👋🏻
Owner, operator, and the third generation behind the name.
Born and raised in Toronto, Brook grew up with painting in his DNA - both his grandfather and father had painting businesses, and now he’s proudly continuing the family legacy with his own independently owned and operated company.
A few years ago, he traded city life for mountain views and now proudly calls Vernon home.
Between the endless outdoor recreation (a major draw having grown up as a competitive skier) and strong sense of community, it’s been a great place to land and build something meaningful.
Brook brings a thoughtful approach to every project - making sure the work is done right, the details are dialed, and the results speak for themselves.
When he’s not on the job site or coming by to do your estimates, you’ll probably catch him skiing at SilverStar, biking the local trails, or squeezing in a round of golf.
We’re lucky to have him leading the crew!

Take a look at our latest exterior project 👀
This place is getting a full exterior refresh - going from a faded red to Sussex Green by @benjaminmoorevernon, and it already looks like a whole new home.
The transformation is almost wrapped up, and we can’t wait to show you the full before-and-after soon.
Stay tuned, this one’s gonna be a beauty!

The sunny weather has us thinking of this spray project from a few years back!
And as a friendly reminder, it is still too early for exterior painting! 🖌️
If there's any risk of frost again this year, the curing paint will freeze and start to peel back off foster than you'd like! ❄️
See you outside in May 😎
