Markham Painters Serving Unionville, Cornell, and Markham Village

Markham is one of the most genuinely diverse communities in the GTA, and the housing stock reflects that. You have heritage character homes in Unionville Village that go back well over a hundred years. You've got Cornell, which is a master-planned community of newer builds that largely went up between 2005 and 2020. You've got Markham Village with its mix of bungalows and infills, and family-focused neighbourhoods like Berczy and Wismer with larger homes on bigger lots.

We've been painting across all of these neighbourhoods for over 20 years. That matters for one practical reason: every area has its own housing profile and its own painting challenges. A century-old Unionville property needs completely different prep than a builder-grade Cornell house. I know what to expect before I even walk through the door, and that saves everyone time.

What Makes Markham's Homes Distinctive

Unionville's heritage homes are a real pleasure to work on, but they're not simple. Older plaster walls, character trim, and a century of repairs layered on each other. You can't just prime and roll. The prep has to be right or you'll see it in six months.

Cornell is the other end of the spectrum. These are newer builds with builder-grade paint that often starts fading faster than it should. A proper repaint with Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams changes the longevity of the finish significantly. Families with kids and pets also benefit from low-VOC paints in the high-traffic areas — something we recommend routinely.

In Berczy, Wismer, and Cathedraltown, you're often dealing with larger open-concept floor plans where colour flow matters across a lot of square footage. Getting that right requires thinking through the palette before the first brush stroke.

Interior Painting

We handle everything from single room refreshes to full-home repaints. Proper prep, premium materials, clean edges, and nothing left for you to touch up afterward.

Most 3-bedroom Markham homes run $3,500–$6,500 for a full interior repaint. Larger properties with open-concept layouts and high ceilings will be toward the upper end. Single rooms typically run $400–$900.

Exterior Painting

Ontario weather doesn't go easy on exteriors. Rain, UV, and freeze-thaw cycles all work against your paint year after year. We use weather-resistant finishes rated for these conditions, and we prep every surface thoroughly before any paint goes on: power washing, scraping, caulking, and priming.

Full exterior repaints for typical Markham homes run $4,500–$9,000 depending on size and materials. Trim, soffits, and fascia only typically run $2,500–$4,500. Deck and fence staining runs $1,500–$3,500.

Cabinet Painting

This is honestly the best renovation value in Markham. Cabinet replacement can run $15,000–$30,000 for a standard kitchen. Cabinet painting delivers a factory-smooth finish for $3,500–$7,000 and gives you effectively the same visual result. We remove the doors, sand, prime, and spray-apply a durable finish. It looks modern and it holds up.

Markham Neighbourhoods We Serve

Unionville — Heritage homes with character trim, older plaster walls, and unique architectural details. We know how to prep and paint these properly without damaging original features.

Cornell — Newer builds from 2005–2020 with builder-grade paint that is already fading. These homes benefit hugely from a quality repaint with premium materials.

Markham Village — Mix of older bungalows and newer infills. Great community with homes that range from simple refreshes to full transformations.

Berczy and Wismer — Family-focused neighbourhoods with larger homes. We handle multi-room projects efficiently so your family isn't displaced for long.

Cathedraltown and Greensborough — Modern developments where curb appeal matters. Fresh exterior paint makes a real difference on these streetscapes.

Drywall Repair

Older Unionville homes and even newer Cornell builds develop wall issues over time: plaster cracks, settling damage, nail pops, and water stains. We handle all drywall and plaster repair in-house before painting so every surface is smooth and ready for a lasting finish.
