YOOOOOO! We come straight outta COMPTON and we don't play gam—
HAH! Dude... that sign says CUMBERLAND. Why are you trying to act all hardcore? lol
Oh, right... I guess I was just trying to make it seem like we don't mess around and pull the usual contractor stuff that people hate dealing with
Well, that's definitely true. But, actions speak louder than words. Anyone who knows us, knows we love our job, we love our customers. AND, we love the smiles on their faces when we do what we say we'll do when we say we'll do it
Well, our reviews definitely prove that. 'nuff said, I guess!

A STEP BEYOND HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
Jason has been one of my most caring, hard working and dedicated employees since my company’s conception. I feel very grateful to be able to pass on my company to a man who I know will continue on the legacy of high quality work, top notch communication and excellent customer care. He is always ready to own up to and fix any mistake he may make, which is one of the most important qualities I think a person can have. He has time and time again gone above and beyond for clients and I know clients are in good hands with Jason. He has earned my trust and I know he’ll earn yours too.

Patrick Rooney (Former Owner)
My name is Patrick Rooney, Former Owner of A Step Beyond Painting. I have been painting for over 16 years. I moved to the Comox Valley in 2017 and started the company shortly thereafter. Prior to moving to the island, I owned a successful and still operating painting company in Saskatoon, All Surface Finishes.
After making a big decision to move into counselling work, I am elated to know that A Step Beyond Painting may live on in Jason’s capable hands.
Crew Review
A Step Beyond Painting, over the past 2 years, has been painting our 36 home development at Creekside Commons, in Courtenay. We are extremely happy with their work and professionalism. In particular their lead painters, Mark and Wes have been unfailingly courteous, and their standard of painting has been outstanding on our project. I owned a painting and decorating company in Calgary for 35 years and have known many painters in that time, Mark and Wes are amongst the best I have dealt with.
