The family story

John Patten founded the business in Mississauga, Ontario in 1977. In 1990 he moved it west to Delta, BC, and in 2016 the business moved to Langley.

Graeme has painted alongside John since the late '80s. He learned the trade the way John did it: careful preparation, quality products and respect for the client's home. After John's passing in 2016, Graeme carries the business on.

Today Graeme does every job himself. The person who visits your home, gives you the quote, preps the surfaces and sprays your cabinets is the same person every time. That is why clients mention his attention to detail, his detailed invoices and his dustless sander.

John Patten Painting is fully insured.
