Our Process
What happens after you get in touch
1
We reply
Within one business day, with a few questions if the job needs them and a proposed time to come and look.
2
We walk through
We measure the surfaces, check the substrate, and note the repairs and access conditions that will affect the price.
3
You get a written scope
Surfaces named, coats counted, products listed, preparation itemised, and the price before HST.
4
You decide
No follow-up pressure. If the number does not work, tell us and we will say honestly whether the scope can be reduced or not.
The more detail you send, the better the first reply
A message saying "how much to paint a condo" gets a range, because that is all it can get. A message saying "two-bedroom suite near Yonge and Sheppard, walls and ceilings, smooth ceilings, moving in on the fifteenth, building needs a certificate of insurance" gets a useful answer and a proposed date.
You do not need to know any of the technical detail. Rooms, surfaces, whether the place is empty, and the building's age cover almost everything.
What we will ask at the walkthrough
We measure, and then we look at things that are not obvious from a photograph. What the walls are made of, because plaster and drywall take different preparation. Whether a textured ceiling predates 1990. How tall the stairwell is and what will be needed to reach it. Whether there is a moisture path behind a basement wall. What colour is currently on the walls and how far it is from the colour you want.
Those questions are what turn a range into a price.
Service area
We cover sixteen areas across Toronto and the surrounding 905: Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, East York, Downtown Toronto, Leaside, Mississauga, Vaughan, Brampton, Oakville, Markham, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Ajax, Whitby and Pickering. Addresses close to those are usually covered on the same schedule, so it is worth asking rather than assuming.
Before you get in touch
What should I have ready?
Roughly which rooms or surfaces, whether the space will be occupied or empty, and the approximate age of the building. For exteriors, the number of storeys and the cladding type. None of it is essential, it just makes the first reply more useful than a request for more information.
How quickly can you start?
It depends on the season. Interior work is busiest through the winter, exterior work through June and early July. We will give you a realistic date rather than an optimistic one, and for condo work the building's own process adds time at the front end.
Do you charge for the estimate?
No. Estimates are free and come as a written scope you can keep and compare, whether or not you use us.
Can you give a price over the phone?
A range, yes, and you can get the same range yourself from our cost calculator. An actual price needs a walkthrough, because the things that move a painting quote most are the substrate, the prep and the access, and none of those can be assessed over a phone.
