Painters in Maple typically charge about $2.00 to $3.00 per square foot to paint walls, and closer to $4.70 per square foot once you add ceilings, trim, and doors. For a full interior repaint, most homes in Maple land between $3,500 and $8,000, with larger estate properties running $8,000 to $15,000 or more. A typical exterior runs $4,500 to $12,000. Those numbers are before HST, and they assume premium paint, real prep, and two full coats. The exact figure depends on ceiling height, the amount of trim, and the condition of the surfaces I find when I walk the home.
I have been painting homes in this community for two decades. Every job is backed by WSIB-covered crews, a $2M liability certificate I hand you before any work starts, and a tiered warranty: lifetime on interior work, three years on exterior, and five years on cabinets. We hold a 5/5 Google rating built over 20+ years of work across this area.
The housing in Maple varies a lot. You have newer detached estates with open two-storey foyers and wide walls, heritage properties around the historic village core with original plaster and hardwood trim, and 1990s and 2000s subdivisions with family layouts. Each type needs different prep and a different approach.
What makes Maple homes distinctive
Maple has an older village area and a lot of newer suburban housing around it, and that mix shapes how we approach a project.
The historic village core around Keele Street and Major Mackenzie Drive has older homes with mature landscaping, original trim details, and plaster walls that have settled over decades. The surfaces need patience. You don't rush a century-old foyer, because old plaster cracks and lifts if you skip the prep.
The newer detached subdivisions built from the mid-1990s through the 2010s dominate much of Maple, especially as you move north and east. These are family-sized homes on decent lots with two-storey foyers, open main floors, and modern layouts. Many of these homes are now hitting the 15 to 20 year mark, which means the builder-grade original paint has thinned and faded. The surfaces are ready for a proper refresh with real primer and quality topcoats. Because they were built in that era, they often have drywall that's a touch softer than newer construction, so prep matters.
Maple sits next to several regional landmarks. Canada's Wonderland is just north, the Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital is nearby, and the Maple GO station handles transit. You get a mix of longtime residents who bought into the original subdivisions and newer families drawn by the location and the schools. Homeowners here tend to keep up their properties.
The lots here are bigger than what you'd find closer to downtown Toronto, with longer driveways, deeper yards, and houses set back from the street. So exterior work in Maple takes more staging and protection, because there's usually more ground to cover and more landscaping to work around than on a tight urban lot.
What painting a Maple home is really like
Painting in Maple means working across two housing eras, and the prep changes depending on which side of the village core you're standing. The older stock near Keele Street takes patient prep. The newer estates across the subdivisions take reach, more paint, and a plan for getting at the high walls safely. Which one I'm standing in changes the whole quote.
Maple sits within Vaughan, and we serve all of Vaughan as part of our regular route. We're also regularly north in Richmond Hill on the other side of York Region, and just to the northwest, past the Vaughan line into Caledon, our Bolton painters cover much the same newer detached stock. That spread keeps me familiar with how housing patterns shift across the whole area.
On the older homes near the village, the work starts with prep, not paint. Original plaster walls have stress cracks from the house settling, old oil-based trim needs a proper bonding primer so the new water-based coat sticks, and settled door frames mean caulk lines that have to be cut and redone by hand. I budget more prep hours on a heritage property than I do on a build twice its square footage, and I tell homeowners that upfront so the quote makes sense. Rushing a century-old interior is how you end up with peeling trim by the next winter.
The newer detached estates are a different job. A two-storey foyer with an open staircase and a 19-foot wall is common in many Maple subdivisions, and those walls eat paint. The square footage hides above your eyeline, so a room that feels normal at floor level can hold half again the paint you'd guess. Reaching it safely means scaffold or tall extension ladders over a stairwell, sometimes a custom setup, and that's labour and care, not just a taller stick. I'd rather build the platform properly than have someone over-reaching above hardwood and tile.
Exterior work in Maple runs differently. Many homes here wrap brick on the lower storey with siding or vinyl board-and-batten above, and they're not the same paint job. Brick and siding are different surfaces with different porosity, different primers, and different colour absorption. I sample both in daylight before I commit, because a colour that looks right on the brick can drift on the siding it sits beside. Get that wrong and the front of the house reads patchy from the curb. Maple's lot depths also mean I'm protecting mature trees and landscaping before a brush comes out, not just tape and drop cloth.
Access and scheduling matter here too. Many Maple properties run deep with landscaping, long driveways, and grading that changes from the front to the back, so I plan staging and protection carefully. North of Major Mackenzie, evening air cools fast and morning dew lingers into the season, which narrows the dry window for exterior coats. I schedule exterior work around that rhythm, not against it.
Maple is a young housing stock, and it paints like one
Unlike most communities this far into York Region, Maple has very little old housing. Beyond the small historic village core near Major Mackenzie and Keele, Vellore Village, Patterson, Sonoma Heights, and Mackenzie Ridge are overwhelmingly 1990s onward, and a great deal of it is 2000s and 2010s.
That changes what a repaint actually is here. There is rarely plaster to repair, rarely oil trim to prime over, and rarely a settled frame to rebuild. What there is instead is scale. These are large detached homes with two-storey entries, open main floors where one colour runs unbroken from the foyer through the kitchen to the great room, and tall stairwell walls that hold far more square footage than they appear to from the floor.
So a Maple quote is not really about repair hours. It is about area, reach, and continuity. The risk on these homes is not peeling trim, it is banding: visible differences between where a painter cut in and where they rolled, across a wall big enough that the eye catches it from across the room. Avoiding that is a matter of setup and coat discipline, and it is worth asking about directly.
Tips for painting a Maple home
Ask how they plan to reach the foyer. A two-storey entry done from a ladder on stair treads is both unsafe and the usual cause of a banded wall. Scaffold or a stair platform belongs in the quote as a line item.
Two cuts, two full coats, on the big walls especially. One cut and one roll is exactly how a large wall ends up with a darker frame around a lighter middle. On Maple's wall areas that difference is impossible to miss once you have seen it.
Plan the order of rooms on an open main floor. When one colour runs continuously through foyer, kitchen, and great room, the sequence and the cut lines decide whether the finish reads as one surface or several. That is planning, not painting speed.
On brick-and-stucco exteriors, treat them as two jobs. Stucco is porous and takes a breathable masonry-grade product; brick does not. The same colour reads warmer on stucco than on the brick beside it, so both surfaces get sampled before anything is committed.
How long a Maple paint job should last
Eight to twelve years is the realistic exterior life with proper prep and the right primer for each surface. On the brick-and-stucco combinations common right through Vellore Village and Patterson, the stucco almost always asks for attention first, because a breathable masonry coating and a standard exterior latex simply do not age at the same rate. Planning for that is cheaper than discovering it.
Interiors on this housing stock last a long time, and it is high-traffic trim, doors, and the stairwell wall that call first rather than the wall fields. The Maple interior pricing guide and full exterior cost breakdown cover the numbers, and the quote comparison checklist will help you sort the quotes.
What we do in Maple
Interior painting
From a single room to a full estate repaint, we cover it. We do a lot of Maple homes with high ceilings, open staircases, and tall foyers. Proper surface prep, premium paint, and clean lines. The open main floors common in newer Maple subdivisions mean one colour often runs across the foyer, kitchen, and great room without a break, so I plan the cut lines and the order of rooms to keep the finish even across all that connected wall. On the older village homes I budget extra time to repair plaster and prime aged trim before any colour goes on.
Interior painting in Maple typically runs $3,500 to $6,500 for a standard 3-bedroom home, before HST. Estate properties with high ceilings and more rooms generally fall in the $8,000 to $15,000 range. We give you a firm number after walking through your home.
Exterior painting
Maple properties need exteriors that handle our winters and still look sharp. We do complete prep, including power washing, scraping, caulking, and priming, before a single coat of finish goes on. We use weather-resistant products rated for Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles. Because many homes here pair brick with siding or vinyl, I match the product to the surface, a quality exterior paint for the siding and the correct primer for the brick, and I sample colours on both before committing. North of Major Mackenzie the air cools and damp settles in early, so I schedule exterior coats around the dry window rather than push paint onto a surface that won't cure.
A standard Maple exterior runs $4,500 to $7,500 before HST. Estate homes with more trim and complex rooflines run higher. Trim-only refreshes start around $2,500.
Professional door painting
Painted doors give you a lot of visual change for a low cost. A properly finished front door lifts the curb appeal, and fresh interior doors make the whole house feel cleaner. We sand, prime, and apply two coats of durable trim paint for a smooth finish.
Front door painting runs $200 to $450 depending on size and material. Interior door packages for a full home typically run $1,200 to $3,000, before HST.
Cabinet painting
Instead of spending $25,000 to $40,000 on new cabinets, a refinish gives you the new look for a fraction of that. Proper cleaning, sanding, priming, and two coats of a durable finish. Maple cabinet painting typically runs $3,500 to $7,500 before HST, depending on kitchen size, and it carries our five-year cabinet warranty.
How we quote in Maple
The estimate happens in person, and on these homes that means measuring the tall walls honestly and telling you what the access costs rather than burying it. You get a fixed written price, WSIB-covered crews, and a $2M liability certificate before anyone starts. Warranty is lifetime interior, three years exterior, five on cabinets, written into the quote. Terms are on the full warranty terms.
If you are comparing quotes, the painter hiring checklist is the fastest filter. On a Maple home, ask each painter how many coats they are pricing and how they intend to reach the foyer.

The larger detached homes built between the 1990s and 2010s often have two-storey foyers, high ceilings, and open-plan main floors. Those tall, uninterrupted walls hold far more square footage than they look, so they take more paint, scaffold or extension ladders, and extra labour to reach safely. That is why a big-room estate runs higher than a same-bedroom older home.
Yes. Many Maple homes mix brick with siding or vinyl detailing, and each surface drinks paint differently and needs its own primer and product. I sample on both materials before committing a colour, because the same gallon can read warmer on siding than on the brick beside it. Getting that right is the difference between a tidy refresh and a patchy one.
