House Painters in Aurora

It depends on whether the property is individually designated or sits within a heritage conservation district, and on whether you are changing the exterior appearance. Interior painting is not generally affected. For exterior colour changes on designated properties, it is worth a call to the Town before committing, the answer is often straightforward, but finding out afterwards is not. We will flag it at the walkthrough if your property looks like it falls into that category, though the confirmation is properly yours to get from the municipality.

Because very little of the surface can be rolled. Crown moulding, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, columns and built-in millwork all have to be cut and brushed by hand, and a great room with an 18-foot ceiling needs scaffold erected before any work starts. Two homes of identical floor area can differ by close to double in painting labour based on detailing alone, which is why we measure linear feet of trim and ceiling heights at the walkthrough rather than quoting from square footage.

We do not publish prices, because a number quoted without seeing your walls is a guess. What decides the cost is ceiling height, how much trim you have, and the condition of the substrate, none of which can be judged from square footage. The walkthrough is free, takes about 45 minutes, and ends with a fixed written quote.

Yes. The walkthrough takes 45 to 60 minutes, costs nothing, and carries no obligation. You receive a written finish specification within 48 hours that names every surface, its coat count, its primer decision and its sheen. We would rather you compared that document against other quotes than compared bottom-line numbers, because three painting quotes are usually three different scopes.
