Solid State Painting is a locally owned painting company based in Squamish, BC, providing residential and commercial painting services throughout Squamish and Whistler. The company is owned and operated by Justin Kious, who brings a straightforward, detail-driven approach to every project.

We focus on interior and exterior painting for homeowners who value quality workmanship, clear communication, and a job done properly — from prep to final walkthrough.

Meet Justin Kious

Justin Kious is the owner and painter behind Solid State Painting. With years of hands-on experience in the industry, Justin is known for his attention to detail, reliable scheduling, and honest approach to each project.

Outside of work, Justin spends his time in the mountains as a snowboard photographer or with his young family — a big part of why he values respect for people’s homes, time, and spaces.

His approach is simple: do the work properly, use quality materials, and communicate clearly. Solid State Painting isn’t positioned as the cheapest option — it’s built for clients who care about the result and want the job done right the first time.

How We Work

At Solid State Painting, we keep things straightforward:

• Clear communication from estimate to completion

• Thorough preparation for clean, lasting results

• Consistent workmanship, whether it’s a single room or a full exterior

• Respect for your home, schedule, and expectations

We take pride in doing careful, professional work and standing behind it.
