How it works
Where we work
We’re based in Edmonton, and we work across the city and in nine nearby communities: St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, Devon and Morinville. The map is a simple sketch rather than a survey, but the idea is right. Most of these places are between twenty and forty-five minutes from central Edmonton.
Each place has its own page because the houses really are different. Devon is a town planned and built in 1948, and Beaumont has tripled in size since the mid-1990s. Those two ask different things of a painter. The city pages explain what’s typical in each, which neighbourhoods are which age, and what that means for preparation, paint and price.
If you’re not sure whether we cover your street, send us your address. Acreages and rural properties around these towns are often possible too, and we’ll tell you honestly if something is too far.
