Service areas

Where we work in Ottawa.

Twelve neighbourhoods with their own housing stock, surfaces and access. These are places we serve, not offices.

Heritage brick house facade with painted white trim and evergreen shutters
01 / One city, many buildings

Ottawa is a city of different eras, and the paint problems change with the era. A brick house in the Glebe has plaster walls, deep wood trim and a porch that takes the weather on three sides. A townhouse in Barrhaven has flat builder paint on fresh drywall and a front door that faces the afternoon sun. The work is the same trade; the judgement is local.

On each area page we describe what we usually find there, how access and parking tend to work, and how the Ottawa painting season plays out in that part of the city. If your neighbourhood is not listed, we still work there. Write to us and we will tell you honestly whether it is a good fit.

Not on the list? Ottawa is large and the list is not exhaustive. Describe the building and we will confirm whether we can work there.

03 / What to have ready

A useful first note.

When you get in touch, the most useful details are the age of the building, the surfaces you want painted, whether the walls are drywall or plaster, and any known problems such as water staining, cracked joints or paint that has peeled before. A photograph of the room helps. So does an idea of your timing, since exterior work depends heavily on the season.

You can read the services we offer and how a project runs before you write. There is no obligation in a walkthrough, and no pressure in the reply.

04 / Start a project

Request a consultation.

Tell us where you are and what needs painting. Cost depends on the project, so we quote after the walkthrough.
