  • Do you prepare the surfaces?

    Yes. We handle all preparation, including cleaning, stripping, crack repair, sanding, caulking, and primer application. This is an essential step in ensuring a durable final result.



  • Do you supply the paint and materials?

    Yes. We use professional-grade products selected for the surface being treated. If you have a preferred brand or a specific colour in mind, we’ll accommodate your needs.



  • Do I need to leave while the work is being done?

    Not necessarily. We work safely, cleanly, and in an organized manner to minimize disruption to your daily routine. For commercial or institutional settings, we can adjust our schedule to suit your needs.



  • What types of finishes do you offer?

    We offer a wide range of finishes: matte, velvet/eggshell, pearl, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss, as well as specialty paints, including antibacterial, washable, alkyd, epoxy, and urethane.


  • How long will the work take?

    Every project is unique. Once we receive your estimate request, we’ll provide a clear, realistic schedule.



Specialty Work

Specialty and High-End Projects


  • Do you take on high-end or custom-design projects?

    Yes, we have the expertise to take on high-end projects involving geometric designs, custom stencils, multiple colours, trompe-l’œil, faux finishes, and the restoration of historic homes. We also work with designers to ensure the finished work stays true to their vision.


  • Do you treat walls yellowed by smoke or nicotine?

    Yes. We provide specialized treatment that includes cleaning, degreasing, applying an alcohol- or shellac-based primer, followed by a high-hiding paint designed to block persistent stains and odours.



  • Can you repair and repaint water-damaged surfaces?

    Yes. We remove damaged surfaces, treat mould, resurface, and touch up with colour matching for a healthy, uniform finish.



  • Do you paint multi-level or architectural ceilings?

    Yes. We carefully protect surfaces, repair cracks and joints, and use ultra-flat, anti-glare paints—ideal for complex, light-filled ceilings.



  • Do you restore century-old homes?

    Yes. We use techniques suited to older materials, carry out custom repairs, and take extra care to preserve the character and integrity of historic buildings.


  • Do you sand and varnish log homes?

    Yes. We sand, stain, and varnish, and install the necessary scaffolding. Our products resist UV rays and the elements, providing lasting protection.

  • Do you paint exterior or interior siding (vinyl, aluminum, wood, etc.)?

    Yes. We paint all types of siding using durable, easy-to-maintain, weather-resistant products.
