Prep comes first

  1. 1Look over the siding and trim for tired or damaged spots
  2. 2Paper and tape windows, doors and eaves
  3. 3Protect the ground, plants and anything near the walls
  4. 4Prep the surface so the new coat has something sound to hold on to

We mask before we spray

Windows, doors and eaves are papered and taped before any paint goes on. That is how we work, and it is why the glass stays clean and the trim stays crisp. Overspray on a window or a light fixture is a sign that the prep was rushed. We take the time, because the masking is what protects the parts of your house that are not meant to change colour.

Built for Calgary weather

Calgary is hard on a house. Strong sun at altitude, hail, wind, chinooks and winters that swing above and below freezing all work on a painted surface. Tired, faded siding is common here. We look at the condition of what is there and prep to suit it, so the new colour sits on a sound surface. Send a photo and we will tell you what we see.

Siding, trim and details

A good exterior is more than a wall colour. Trim, gables, fascia, doors and entries all need their own attention, and the lines between them are what make a house look finished. We paint all of it, and we keep colours where they belong. If you are changing the colour of your house, send a photo and we can talk it through with you.

Exterior Painting: questions

How much does exterior painting cost in Calgary?

It depends on the size of the house, how many storeys, the type of siding, the condition of the surface and how much trim there is. Send a photo of the house or call us for a free estimate.

Can you estimate my house from a photo?

Yes. A clear photo of each side of the house tells us a lot. If we need to know more, we will ask you questions by phone or email.

What parts of the house do you paint?

Siding, trim, gables, fascia, soffits, front doors and garage doors. If you are not sure whether something is included, ask us.

Will you keep paint off my windows?

That is why we paper and tape windows, doors and eaves before painting. Masking is part of every exterior job.

Do you paint every kind of siding?

Send us a photo of yours. We will tell you what we can do and talk through the prep for that surface.
