Painting Services FAQ
01 Should I get my own paint or let the painter supply it?
01
Should I get my own paint or let the painter supply it?
Let your painter supply it. Professional contractors get 30-40% discounts from suppliers like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. You end up with better paint at a lower total cost, plus the painter guarantees colour consistency and knows exactly which product works for each surface.
02 Should I paint my condo or home all one color?
02
Should I paint my condo or home all one color?
Painting everything one colour is practical and cost-effective, especially if you are selling. Neutral tones like whites, greys, or beiges appeal to broader audiences and let buyers envision their own style. If you are staying, accent walls or tonal variations between rooms add character without overwhelming the space.
03 Does painting help sell a condo or house?
03
Does painting help sell a condo or house?
Yes. Fresh paint is one of the highest-ROI improvements before listing. It creates an updated, clean appearance, suggests a well-maintained property, and helps buyers focus on the space rather than scuff marks and nail holes. Neutral tones photograph better and make rooms feel larger in listing photos.
04 Should I paint before or after moving in?
04
Should I paint before or after moving in?
Before moving in whenever possible. An empty space is 20-30% faster and cheaper to paint — no furniture to move or protect, full access to every wall and corner, and zero risk of splatter on your belongings. If you are already living there, we move and cover furniture as part of our standard process.
05 What happens if my walls have damage, holes, or cracks?
05
What happens if my walls have damage, holes, or cracks?
We patch nail holes, dents, scratches, and minor drywall damage as part of our standard prep at no extra charge. Larger repairs like water damage, deep cracks, or full drywall sections can be fixed for a quoted fee before painting begins. Proper prep is where most painters cut corners — we do not.
06 Do you help with colour selection?
06
Do you help with colour selection?
Yes, we offer complimentary colour consultations with every project. We bring physical colour swatches, test them against your lighting conditions, and recommend finishes suited to each room — eggshell for bedrooms, satin for kitchens and bathrooms, semi-gloss for trim and doors.
07 Will you move my furniture?
07
Will you move my furniture?
We ask that small items and valuables be removed beforehand. We handle moving and covering large furniture, protect your floors with canvas drop cloths, and leave your space spotless when finished. Everything goes back where it was.
08 Are your painters licensed and insured?
08
Are your painters licensed and insured?
Yes. Every painter is fully insured with comprehensive liability coverage and WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) protection. You are never liable if a worker is injured on your property. We also carry certificates of insurance required by condo buildings.
09 What is included in your painting quote?
09
What is included in your painting quote?
Our fixed-cost quotes include all labour, premium paint (Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams), minor wall repairs, two coats on all surfaces, setup, floor and furniture protection, and full cleanup. The price you approve is the price you pay — no hidden fees or surprise charges.
10 Do you work with property managers, landlords, or realtors?
10
Do you work with property managers, landlords, or realtors?
Yes. We are a preferred vendor for many realtors, landlords, and condo boards across Toronto. Whether it is a quick refresh between tenants, a listing that needs staging, or a multi-unit turnover, we deliver on tight timelines with consistent quality.
