How it works

How our instant painting estimate works

  1. Choose your rooms

    Add each room and pick small, medium or large.

  2. See your estimate

    Enter your name and phone number and your price appears straight away.

  3. We confirm and paint

    We check the space in person, confirm the price and book your start date.

The estimate covers interior painting. Exterior work, cabinets, popcorn ceilings, drywall and renovations are quoted after a visit, because every house is different.

Cost

What affects the cost of painting a house in Edmonton

No mystery pricing. Here is what moves the number, so you can see why two houses cost different amounts.

How much does interior painting cost in Edmonton?

  • The number and size of the rooms. The estimate prices each room as small, medium or large.
  • Trim, baseboards and doors. They take time to prep and paint, so you choose whether to include them.
  • Ceiling height. Walls around 10 feet or higher, and open stairwells, need extra equipment and time.
  • The condition of the surfaces. Cracks, nail pops and peeling paint need repairs first, and older houses often need the most prep.
  • Textured ceilings. Removing popcorn texture is quoted separately from painting.
  • Cabinets and exteriors. These are quoted after a visit.

By age of house

Painting an Edmonton home: what changes with its age

Edmonton has houses from the 1910s to this year. Here is what each age group usually needs.

Built before 1970

Mature neighbourhoods

Garneau, Glenora, Highlands, Westmount, Strathcona and Parkview. Expect older plaster or drywall, wood trim with many coats and walls that have moved. Prep takes longer than painting, so we visit before confirming a price.

1970s to 1990s

Established neighbourhoods

Textured ceilings, oak trim and original kitchens are common. Smooth ceilings, painted trim and refreshed cabinets change these houses the most.

2000s onward

Newer suburbs

Windermere, Terwillegar and the neighbourhoods on the edges. Builder paint, tall entries and open plans. First repaints are mostly about scuffs, small cracks and colour, with extra time for tall walls.

Any age

Infill, garage suites and condos

Small spaces with tricky access. We plan parking, working hours and building rules first, and our estimate tool includes studio and one-bedroom layouts.

Older home? Two things to knowHealth Canada says a home built before 1960 probably has lead-based paint, and homes from 1960 to 1990 may have it outside and in smaller amounts inside. Textured ceilings from before about 1990 may contain asbestos. Intact paint isn’t the worry. Sanding or scraping it is. Tell us the year your house was built and we’ll plan the prep before anything is disturbed.

Colour

Colours and finishes for Edmonton homes

Edmonton is far enough north that winter light is short and low, and a colour that looked fresh in July can look cold in January. Warm whites and soft neutrals hold up better than stark ones, and a north-facing room usually wants a warmer tone than a south-facing one.

For finishes, eggshell or satin on walls wipes clean far better than flat, and semi-gloss suits trim. Test two or three samples on a large patch and look at them morning and evening.

How to choose paint colours for your home

Timing

When to paint in Edmonton

Inside, paint goes on any time of year. In winter the air is dry and the heat is on, which helps paint dry. The catch is ventilation, because opening a window at minus 25 isn’t pleasant, so we plan around it.

Outside is different. Most exterior paints list a minimum temperature on the can, usually somewhere between about 2 °C and 10 °C depending on the product, and they need dry surfaces. That’s why exterior work clusters between late spring and early fall, and why it’s worth asking early if you want a summer slot.

Decent work. It was a fair price for the work and Paul was accommodating and willing to work with my budget. They were very quick to fix deficiencies that concerned me and cleaned up everything after they were done I think I would have appreciated better communication on pricing cause I didn’t like my surprise bill for the electrical panel and had to negotiate fair pricing for that but it was quick to be rectified. Esthetic wise it was good and priced competitively

Showing all 49 questions

How much does it cost to paint a house in Edmonton?

It depends on the number and size of the rooms, the ceiling height, whether you want trim and doors done, and how much prep the surfaces need. The online estimate prices your rooms in a few minutes, and we confirm the final price in person.

How does the instant painting estimate work?

You choose your rooms and pick small, medium or large for each one, add trim and doors if you want them, then enter your name and phone number. Your estimate appears straight away, and we confirm it in person before any work starts.

Is the online estimate the final price?

It’s a guide built from the rooms and sizes you pick. We confirm the final price in person, because ceiling height, wall condition and repairs can change the work.

What is included in the price for each room?

Each room price covers the walls and ceiling with two coats of paint. Trim, baseboards and doors are optional extras you can add to the estimate.

Is there a minimum price for a job?

Yes. Very small jobs have a minimum price, and the estimate shows it when it applies.

Are the estimate prices before GST?

Yes. Estimate prices are shown before GST.

Do ceilings over 10 feet cost more to paint?

They can. Walls around 10 feet or higher, and open stairwells, need extra equipment and time. Tell us the height when you ask and we’ll confirm it in person.

Can I get a price for exterior painting online?

Not yet. The online estimate covers interior painting. Exterior painting, cabinets, popcorn ceilings, drywall and renovations are quoted after a visit.

Why do two similar Edmonton houses cost different amounts to paint?

Room sizes, ceiling heights, how much trim and how many doors are painted, and how much repair the walls need all add up differently. Older houses often need more prep.

Do you paint ceilings as well as walls?

Yes. Walls and ceilings are included in each room price.

Do you paint trim, baseboards and doors?

Yes. You can add trim and baseboards for every room, and doors with their frames, to your estimate.

Can you paint just one room?

Yes. Choose specific rooms in the estimate tool, or call us and tell us which rooms you have in mind.

Can you paint kitchen cabinets in Edmonton?

Yes. Cabinet painting gives the cabinets you have a new finish without replacing them. It suits kitchens where the layout works and the finish doesn’t. Cabinets are quoted after a visit.

Do you remove popcorn ceilings?

Yes. Popcorn ceiling removal is one of our services, and it’s quoted separately from painting. If your house was built before about 1990, the texture should be tested for asbestos first.

Do you fix drywall before painting?

Yes. We repair cracks, nail pops, patches and water stains before the paint goes on, so they don’t show through the new coat.

Do you do renovations as well as painting?

Yes. We take on kitchens, bathrooms and basements. Painting is often the last step of a renovation, so it helps to plan both together. We start with a consultation.

Do you build custom homes?

Yes. For a new home we start with a conversation about the design and the budget.

Do you paint basements?

Yes. A basement is a room like any other in the estimate. Mention low ceilings, exposed areas or any dampness when you ask.

Can you paint the outside of my house in Edmonton?

Yes. We paint siding, trim, doors, garage doors and decks, usually between late spring and early fall. Exterior painting is quoted after a visit.

My house was built before 1960. Is that a problem?

It isn’t a problem, but it changes the prep. Health Canada says homes built before 1960 probably contain lead-based paint, and the risk comes mainly from sanding or scraping it. Tell us the year and we’ll plan the work around it.

What about houses built between 1960 and 1990?

Health Canada says paint from this period may contain lead on the exterior and in smaller amounts inside, and textured ceilings from before about 1990 may contain asbestos. We ask the year and plan the prep around it.

Should I test my popcorn ceiling before having it removed?

If the house was built before about 1990, yes. Textured finishes from that period may contain asbestos, and a laboratory test before anything is disturbed tells you how to proceed safely.

Why does an older house need more prep?

Older houses often have wood trim with many layers of paint, walls that have moved, and cracks that were painted over. Fixing those first is what makes the new paint last.

Should I repair cracks before painting?

Yes. Cracks and nail pops show through new paint if they aren’t repaired first. We patch and smooth them as part of the prep.

Can you paint over peeling paint?

Not without preparing it. Loose paint has to be removed and the surface prepared, and in an older house we take extra care because of possible lead. Tell us when the house was built.

Which Edmonton neighbourhoods have the oldest houses?

Edmonton’s mature neighbourhoods, such as Garneau, Glenora, Highlands, Westmount, Strathcona and Parkview, were essentially built out before 1970. Houses there usually need more prep.

When is the best time to paint the outside of a house in Edmonton?

Usually from late spring to early fall, once nights are mild and surfaces are dry. Check the minimum temperature on the paint you’re using, and ask us early if you want a summer date.

Can you paint the inside of my house in winter?

Yes. Interior painting happens all year. We plan ventilation around the cold, because opening a window at minus 25 isn’t pleasant.

How long does it take to paint a house?

It depends on the number of rooms, the prep, and whether trim and doors are included. We give a timeline when we confirm your price.

How far ahead should I book?

It’s worth asking early, especially for exterior work in summer. Tell us your preferred dates and we’ll say what’s possible.

Can I stay in the house while it’s painted?

Usually yes. Fumes and noise vary from room to room, so tell us if anyone in the house is sensitive and we’ll plan around it.

How long until the paint is dry?

Walls are usually dry to the touch within hours, but paint takes a few weeks to cure fully. Treat painted walls gently at first and wait before scrubbing them.

Do you paint condos and apartments?

Yes. Many buildings have rules about notice, elevators and working hours, so send them to us early. The estimate tool has studio and one-bedroom layouts to get you a price quickly.

Do you need parking?

Tell us about parking when you ask. Tight street parking or a back-alley entrance is fine, we just plan for it.

Can you paint my garage suite or an infill home?

Yes. Tell us about access, parking and any quiet hours, and let us know if people live next door or upstairs.

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

Not for the online estimate. Confirming the price in person needs a time that works for you, and we’ll agree on one together.

My condo board requires insurance. Do you have it?

We carry liability insurance. Send us your building’s requirements and we’ll go through them.

How do I choose paint colours for my Edmonton home?

Winter light here is short and low, so warm whites and soft neutrals hold up better than stark colours. Test two or three samples on a large patch and look at them morning and evening before you commit.

What finish should I use on walls?

Eggshell or satin wipes clean far better than flat, which makes it a good choice for halls, kids’ rooms and kitchens.

What finish is best for trim and doors?

Semi-gloss is the usual choice. It stands up to hands, shoes and cleaning.

Do you help with choosing colours?

Yes. Our colour consultation helps you match colours to your lighting and furniture, and you can add it to your estimate.

Should the ceiling be white?

Usually, yes. A white ceiling reflects light and keeps the attention on the walls. There are exceptions, and we’ll talk them through with you.

Can I use a dark colour in a small room?

You can, and the room will feel cosier rather than larger. Dark-to-light colour changes may need extra coats, which we confirm in person.

Do you work in every part of Edmonton?

Yes. Edmonton is our home base and we serve the whole city. Send us your address and we’ll confirm timing.

Which cities near Edmonton do you serve?

St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, Devon and Morinville.
