Meet our Founder and Owner

Adrian Rabu is the founder and visionary behind Fresh Coast Painting, a leading residential and commercial painting company based in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. With a passion for craftsmanship, a commitment to excellence, and a deep understanding of what it takes to build lasting client relationships, Adrian has spent the last decade transforming homes, businesses, and communities—one brushstroke at a time.
Adrian began his journey in the painting industry in 2015, joining the largest and most successful painting franchise in North America. Over the next five years, he rapidly rose through the ranks to become one of the top franchise owners in the network. By the end of his time there, Adrian had earned recognition in the top 10% across North America for overall quality, revenue performance, and business development—a reflection of his strong leadership, relentless work ethic, and customer-first approach.
 
Founder & Owner based in Victoria BC
When the franchise sold its painting division in late 2019, Adrian saw not just a turning point, but an opportunity. Rather than following a new path laid by someone else, he chose to forge his own. He founded Fresh Coast Painting with a clear mission: to raise the standard of painting services on Vancouver Island and to bring a refreshing blend of integrity, professionalism, and top-tier craftsmanship to every project.

Under Adrian’s leadership, Fresh Coast Painting has become known for its premium results, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. 
The company serves both residential and commercial clients, offering interior and exterior painting, pressure washing, and cleaning services. Backed by WorkSafe BC certification, $5 million in liability insurance, and a three-year warranty, Fresh Coast stands as a trusted name in the industry.

Adrian’s hands-on experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to excellence continue to drive Fresh Coast Painting forward. Whether it’s revitalizing a heritage home in Oak Bay or elevating a commercial space in downtown Victoria, Adrian ensures that every project reflects the pride and passion that defines his work.

Fresh Coast Painting

After having operated independent painting businesses under a franchise for the past fourteen years collectively, we have gained a huge amount of knowledge and skills around running large-scale painting businesses with high-quality year after year. ​The previous franchise we were a part of has now closed with a history of nearly fifty years of developing young and aspiring entrepreneurs.

We were among the top performers in the company across North America and it’s because they’ve closed that we have started Fresh Coast Painting.

Why Is It Essential?

We believe that painting is one of the best investments a homeowner can make to protect, and improve the value of their homes. We are dedicated to providing you with the best value service, accurate pricing, open communication, and a memorable experience you will want to share with your friends and family.

REPAINT your Home.
Replant a FOREST

We understand painting can be a detailed process where job site waste is accumulated. This result is not always environmentally friendly. To offset the environmental impact we are committed to planting 1 tree for every $200 of revenue on each project we schedule this year. This initiative will offset our environmental impact, and help the global effort to maintain a clean planet. In addition to every paint job, we provide a 2-year warranty against paint failures, 5-million-dollar liability insurance, and full Worksafe BC coverage.
