We've painted hundreds of condos across CityPlace's 20+ towers. If you live in one of these buildings, you already know the drill: elevator bookings, strict work hours, COI paperwork, neighbours who can hear everything. Standard painters show up confused by the process. We show up with your elevator already booked and your COI already delivered to property management.
CityPlace is home to over 15,000 residents in some of Toronto's most recognizable glass towers along the waterfront. Modern architecture, open floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows. These condos look incredible when the paint is fresh and tired when it's not. Builder beige has a shelf life, and most CityPlace units hit that expiry date around year five.
What makes CityPlace condos distinctive to paint
The architecture here is purely modern: open-concept living areas with nine-foot or higher ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows along the lake-facing walls, and the kind of natural light that makes colour behave completely differently than it does in an older Toronto home. That "perfect grey" you found online can look lavender or green depending on which direction your unit faces and what time of day you're looking at it. We do a colour consultation before every project because it matters here.
The compact footprints are another factor. Most CityPlace units run 400 to 1,000 square feet, which means open-concept colour flow is critical. Your living room, kitchen, and hallway are all visible at once. A colour that works beautifully in isolation can clash with everything else when you're standing in the middle of the unit.
Then there's the building itself. CityPlace towers have rules, and those rules aren't suggestions. Elevator booking windows, work-hour restrictions, COI requirements, common area protection. Painters who don't know the buildings end up delaying your project before it even starts.
Painting services for CityPlace condos
Condo Interior Painting
This is our main work in CityPlace. Full-unit interior painting that takes builder beige and turns it into something that actually reflects your style. We specialize in open-concept colour flow, making sure your living room, kitchen, and hallway all work together.
CityPlace condos have great natural light from those floor-to-ceiling windows, which means colour behaves differently here than in older buildings. We do a colour consultation before every project because light conditions at this scale really do change the outcome.
- Contemporary colour palettes designed for CityPlace's natural light
- Low-VOC paints safe for enclosed condo environments
- Complete furniture protection and daily cleanup
- Most units finished in 1 to 3 days

Accent Walls
One well-placed accent wall can completely change a CityPlace condo. Owners who don't want to repaint the entire unit but want something that makes the space feel different. A deep charcoal behind the bed, a rich navy in the living room, a warm terracotta in the den. These are quick projects, most done in 4 to 6 hours, with real visual impact.
- Bold modern colours that work with CityPlace architecture
- Precision edges and clean lines
- Colour consultation included
- Single-day completion for most accent walls
Drywall Repair and Painting
CityPlace buildings are modern construction, but that doesn't mean the walls are perfect. Settling cracks, nail pops, screw holes from mounted TVs, damage from moving in and out. Our drywall repair service fixes everything before a drop of paint goes on the wall. No point painting over problems.
- Invisible patching for holes, cracks, and nail pops
- Smooth skim coating for damaged areas
- Complete surface prep before painting
- Professional-grade compounds and techniques
Cabinet Painting
CityPlace kitchens are compact, and replacing cabinets in a condo is expensive and disruptive. Cabinet painting gives you a brand-new kitchen look for a fraction of the cost. We use a spray-and-brush technique with cabinet-grade paint that handles daily kitchen use. White, off-white, and soft grey are the most popular choices; they brighten up those galley-style CityPlace kitchens immediately.
- Cabinet-grade paint that resists chipping and yellowing
- Spray-and-brush technique for factory-smooth finish
- Most condo kitchens completed in 3 to 5 days
- $2,500 to $5,000 depending on kitchen size
How we handle CityPlace building logistics
This is where most painters fall apart in CityPlace. The buildings have rules, and those rules are not optional.
We reserve the service elevator in advance, coordinate timing with property management, and make sure our crew arrives within the booked window. No scrambling, no delays.
Every CityPlace building requires a Certificate of Insurance before any contractor steps foot inside. We send ours directly to your property management office before the project starts. $2M liability coverage, fully licensed.
Most CityPlace towers restrict contractor work to weekday business hours, typically 9 AM to 5 PM, with some buildings allowing until 7 PM. We plan every project around these windows. No exceptions.
We put down drop cloths in hallways, protect elevator pads, and keep clean shoes on carpet. Your neighbours won't know we were there.
We handle loading dock access for paint and supplies. Our crews know where to park and how to move materials without blocking common areas.

Yes, 100%. We handle every piece of building logistics—elevator reservations, Certificate of Insurance delivery to property management, loading dock coordination, and compliance with CityPlace work-hour restrictions. You do not need to contact your property manager at all.
Most CityPlace towers allow contractor work between 9 AM and 5 PM on weekdays, with some buildings extending to 7 PM. Weekend work varies by building. We know the rules for every major CityPlace tower and schedule accordingly so there are zero compliance issues.
Most one-bedroom condos take 1-2 days, two-bedrooms take 2-3 days, and three-bedrooms take 3-4 days. We work in focused full-day sessions to minimize disruption. Elevator booking schedules can sometimes affect timing, which is why we plan logistics before start day.
Yes, most CityPlace residents stay in their units while we paint. We work room by room, keeping at least one fully usable living space at all times — your bedroom stays untouched while we paint the living area, then we swap the next day. We use low-VOC paint on every CityPlace project, which keeps fumes minimal even in sealed high-rise units. For full-unit jobs where every room is being done simultaneously, some residents choose to stay with family or book a nearby hotel for 1-2 nights, but it is not required. We coordinate the schedule so your daily routine is disrupted as little as possible.
Absolutely. Cabinet painting is one of the best ROI upgrades for CityPlace condos. We use a spray-and-brush technique with cabinet-grade paint that holds up to daily kitchen use. Most condo kitchen cabinet projects run $2,500-$5,000 depending on the number of doors and drawers.
