What we do

Painting, and the repairs that come with it.

Most jobs need both. We patch, sand and prime properly before any colour goes on — that is the part that decides whether it still looks right in five years.

Interior feature wall in white with recessed lighting niches and textured panelling

Interior painting

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and stairwells. Two coats, full masking, floors and furniture protected, site tidied every evening.

Single rooms in a day · Whole interiors in 3–5

Finished office interior with black slat panelling and a printed wall mural

Commercial & offices

Offices, clinics, retail units and common areas — including slat panelling, feature walls and murals. Evenings and weekends so nobody loses a business day.

Worked around your hours

Exterior of an Ottawa home finished in dark charcoal with stone detailing

Exterior painting

Siding, brick, stucco, soffits, fascia, decks and doors. Washed, scraped and primed first. Booked May to September.

Season runs May to early October

Drywall repair & patchingCracks, nail pops, water damage and full sheet replacement — sanded flat so the patch disappears under paint.

Rental turnoversFast fixed-price repaints between tenants for landlords and property managers. Photos sent when the unit is done.

Cabinet refinishingDoors off, degreased, sanded and sprayed for a hard factory finish — a kitchen that reads new, for a fraction of replacing it.

How it works

Four steps, no moving target.

From the first text to the last coat, here is exactly what happens and when.

01You call or text

Send a photo if it is easier than explaining. Same-day answer — and if we are up a ladder, a text back within the hour.

02We quote it in writing

Within 24 hours of seeing it. Walls, trim and ceilings priced separately so you choose the scope. Colour samples go on your wall at this stage.

03We do the work

Floors covered, furniture moved and protected, everything masked first. Tidied at the end of every day. Start and finish dates in writing.

04We walk it with you

Before we pack up, you point at anything that needs another look. Touch-ups happen then. Nothing is invoiced until you have seen it.

The part nobody sees

Prep is the whole job.

Anyone can roll a wall. What separates a five-year finish from a one-year one happens before the lid comes off the paint.

Every crack, nail pop and doorknob hole filled, sanded flat and spot-primed
Failing caulking cut out and replaced, not painted over
Water stains sealed with shellac primer so they cannot ghost back through
Glossy and previously oil-painted trim scuff-sanded so the new coat actually bonds
Floors, furniture and fixtures covered before a single tin is opened

What you can hold us to

Put it in writing, or it doesn’t count.

We are a new company, so we are not going to wave a number at you about how many houses we have painted. What we will do is commit to these four things in writing on every job.

A fixed written price

Itemized line by line before anything starts. No hourly billing, and no number that moves once you have signed it.

A quote within 24 hours

From the moment we have seen the space. If we are going to be slower than that, we tell you why rather than going quiet.

Sign-off before invoice

We walk the job with you and fix what you point at first. Nothing is billed until you have seen it and said it is right.

The same crew throughout

The people who quote it are the people who paint it. No subcontractor you have never met turning up on day three.

Every one of these is checkable against your own paperwork — which is the point. Ask us for it and we will send the quote template before you commit to anything.

Colour

Stuck on a colour? Everyone is.

A few shades Ottawa homeowners keep landing on. Bring us one, or we will help you find it — and samples go on your wall before anything is committed, because paint reads differently in a north-facing room in February.

Warm White

Greige

Pale Sage

Mushroom

Slate Blue

Charcoal

Questions

The things people ask first.

How much does it cost to paint a room in Ottawa?

It depends on more than square footage, which is why we quote after seeing it rather than over the phone. Ceiling height, how much patching the walls need, whether trim, doors and ceilings are included, and what condition the existing finish is in all move the number significantly. What you get is a fixed written price, itemized line by line so you can see what each part costs and drop anything you do not want. No hourly billing, and nothing changes without a conversation first.

How fast can I get a quote?

Within 24 hours of walking through, usually the same day. If you would rather not book a visit yet, text a few photos to 613-550-3817 and we can give you a ballpark before anyone comes out.

Can you paint outside in the fall or winter?

Only up to a point. Exterior paint needs daytime temperatures around 10–25°C and nights above 5°C to cure properly, so in Ottawa the exterior season runs roughly May through September, sometimes into early October. Past that we book you for spring rather than sell you a coating that will fail. Interior work runs all year.

Do you do the repairs too, or just paint?

Both. Cracks, nail pops, water damage, holes and failing caulking all get fixed before anything is painted — painting over them just makes the problem smoother. Larger renovation work is quoted separately.

What if something is not right at the end?

We walk the job with you before we pack up and mark anything that needs another look — a thin spot, a line that is not crisp, a scuff on a baseboard. Touch-ups are part of the job, not a return visit you have to chase. Nothing gets invoiced until you have seen it and signed off.

How long will my house be disrupted?

Most single rooms are a day. A full interior is typically three to five days, and a kitchen cabinet refinish is three or four. You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we tidy the site every evening so you can still use the house.

Get a real number, in writing, this week.

No obligation and no pressure. If the price is not right, say so and we will show you exactly where it can move.
