Interior Painting Toronto

Protect Your Home Elevate Your Curb Appeal

Interior painting is the single highest-impact change you can make to any room. New colour on walls that haven’t been painted in years transforms how a space feels — not just how it looks. It affects the light, the energy, and how much you enjoy being in your own home.

At Shaq’s Painting Inc., we treat every interior painting job as what it is: work done inside someone’s home. We protect your floors, furniture, and belongings before a drop of paint goes on. We patch nail holes and minor wall imperfections as standard. We sand between coats on trim for a clean, professional finish. And we clean up completely before we leave.

We work year-round on interior projects across Toronto and the GTA — condos, apartments, houses, and multi-room paint projects. Whether you’re freshening up one room or doing a complete interior overhaul, we deliver the same level of care and the same fixed written quote.

“Interior painting done properly takes preparation, patience, and the right products. We don’t cut corners on any of the three — that’s what separates a paint job that looks great for a week from one that holds up for years.”

Our Services

Every Room, Every Surface,Done Right

We paint every painted surface inside your home — from the main living areas to the awkward stairwell that every painter quotes high on.

Living Rooms & Dining Rooms

The most visible rooms in your home. We work with high ceilings, feature walls, and open-concept layouts. Two full coats of eggshell or satin finish for durability and washability.
$2–$4 per sq ft typical range

Bedrooms Interior Painting

Master bedrooms, kids’ rooms, guest rooms — we handle accent walls, standard repaints, and colour changes. We can complete a bedroom in a single day with no disruption to your schedule.
$3–$6 per sq ft typical range

Kitchens Painting

Kitchens need careful prep, grease and steam require a thorough clean before paint adheres properly. We use moisture-resistant paints and satin or semi-gloss finishes that stand up to cooking environments.
$3–$5 per sq ft typical range

Bathrooms Painting

Bathrooms require moisture-resistant primer and mould-resistant paint. We use satin or semi-gloss finishes in all wet areas. Proper prep prevents the peeling and bubbling that’s common with incorrect products.
$2.50–$5 per sq ft depending on condition

Hallways & Stairways Painting

High-traffic areas that show wear fastest and need the most durable finish. We use satin or semi-gloss on hallway walls. Stairways require careful setup — we quote them accurately the first time, not as an afterthought.
$600 – $2,500 depending on size + HST

Ceilings

Nothing freshens a room faster than a clean white ceiling. We use flat paint on ceilings — the right product prevents the sheen that highlights imperfections. We handle popcorn ceiling prep and post-removal finishing as well.
$1,000 – $1,300 full home + HST

Trim, Baseboards & Doors

Trim and baseboards are what professionals notice first. We sand between coats, use semi-gloss enamel for durability, and cut clean edges with no bleeding onto walls or floors. This is the detail work that elevates the whole result.
$1,000 – $1,300 full home + HST

Accent Walls Painting

Accent walls change the character of a room without the cost of a full repaint. We advise on colour selection, dark colours need extra coats and specific primers. We quote accent walls accurately based on what’s actually needed, not a flat rate.
$200 – $600 per accent wall + HST

Basements Painting

Basements require moisture, resistant primers and paint that handles temperature fluctuations. We assess the surface for existing moisture issues before painting. A properly painted basement adds usable, finished living space to your home.
$200 – $600 per accent wall + HST

Paint Finishes

The Right Finish for
in Every Surface

Paint finish selection affects durability, cleanability, and how light interacts with your walls. Using the wrong finish for a room is one of the most common mistakes in DIY painting.

Flat / Matte

No sheen. Hides surface imperfections well — ideal for ceilings and low-traffic rooms. Not washable. Marks easily and difficult to clean without removing the paint.
Best for: Ceilings, guest bedrooms, low-traffic areas

Eggshell

Slight sheen, similar to the surface of an eggshell. More washable than flat. The most popular finish for Toronto living rooms, dining rooms, and master bedrooms — balances appearance with practicality. .
Best for: Living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms

Satin

Visible sheen, highly washable, and resistant to moisture and mould. The right choice for high-traffic areas, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and children's rooms. Slight reflectivity can highlight wall imperfections.
Best for: Kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, kids' rooms

Semi-Gloss & Gloss

High sheen, extremely durable, and easy to clean. The professional choice for all trim, baseboards, door frames, and doors. Semi-gloss on trim alongside eggshell on walls is the standard Toronto home combination.
Best for: Trim, baseboards, doors, door frames

How it works

How Every Interor Project Works

Five steps. Clean, professional results with no disruption to your home life.
1
Free On-Site Estimate

We visit your home, assess each room, discuss colours and finishes, and give you a detailed written quote. Fixed price. No hourly billing. No surprises on invoice day.

2
Surface Preparation

We move furniture, cover floors with drop cloths, patch nail holes and minor wall damage, sand rough areas, and tape all edges. Surface prep determines how long your paint job lasts.

3
Prime Where Needed

Dark colour changes, bare drywall, stains, and water marks all need primer before topcoat. We apply primer where it’s required — it’s included in your quote, not an add-on.

4
Two-Coat Finish

We apply two full coats of premium paint using the appropriate technique for each surface — cutting in edges by brush, rolling walls and ceilings, and using enamel on trim.

5
Final Walkthrough

We inspect every surface with you and fix any touch-up points before leaving. Furniture is returned to position. Drop cloths, tape, and all paint materials are removed. Your home is left clean.

1

Free On-Site Estimate

We visit your property and assess every surface in person — siding condition, trim, height, access, and prep requirements. You receive a detailed written quote. Fixed price. No surprises.

2

Surface Preparation

Power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough edges, caulking gaps and cracks, masking windows and landscaping. Prep is 60% of the job — this is where quality is built or lost.

3

Priming

Bare or repaired surfaces receive a purpose-specific primer — masonry primer for brick, bonding primer for siding, spot primer for wood. Primer locks the finish coat and dramatically extends paint life.

4

Two-Coat Finish

We apply two full coats of premium exterior paint using the correct technique for each surface — brush, roller, or airless spray. Each coat is inspected before the next is applied.

5

Final walkthrough

We inspect every surface with you before we leave. Touch-ups are done on the spot. Your property is left clean — no paint debris, no protective coverings left behind.

Interior Painitng Pricing Guide 2026

How Much Does Interior Painting Cost In Toronto

Interior painting in Toronto typically costs $2 to $4 per square foot for walls only, or $3 to $5 per square foot when ceilings, trim, and doors are included. A standard 12×12 room runs $400–$650 for walls, or $600–$900 fully inclusive.
The wide range in pricing comes from real variables: ceiling height, number of colours (vivid or very dark colours require extra coats), the condition of existing walls, and whether drywall repairs are needed. We assess all of these in person before quoting.
Our price is fixed from the moment you receive our written quote. If a room takes longer than estimated, that’s our problem — not yours. You pay what was quoted.

Painting your interior before listing your Toronto home can deliver an average return of 107% on investment — fresh neutral paint is among the highest-ROI improvements you can make before a sale.

What affects your interior painting cost

  • Room size and ceiling height — taller ceilings mean more paintable wall area
  • Number of colours — each colour change requires separate setup, taping and cleanup
  • Number of storeys — two and three-storey homes require ladders and scaffolding
  • Colour depth — vivid reds, oranges and very dark colours require 3+ coats and specific primers
  • Surface condition — existing damage, cracks or water stains need repair before painting
  • Scope — walls only vs. full interior including ceilings, trim, doors and closets
  • Wallpaper removal — adds significant prep time and cost before painting can begin

Standard Bedroom

$400–$800

walls only + HST

Master Bedroom

$700–$1,000

Living / Dining Room

$600–$2,000

Apartments & Condos

Interior Painting For Toronto
Apartments & Condos

Condo and apartment painting has unique requirements that most painting contractors don’t handle well. We do.

Studio / 1-Bedroom Condo

Full repaint of walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. Completed in 1 day for most units under 800 sq ft.

$1,800–$3,000 + HST

2-Bedroom Condo

Full interior including accent walls and bathroom. Most 2-bed condos completed in 1–2 days.

$3,000–$5,000 + HST

Apartment / Rental Unit Repaint

Move-out repaint to builder white or neutral. Fast turnaround for landlords and property managers.

$1,500–$4,000 + HST

Pre-Sale Condo Refresh

Neutral palette, minor wall repairs, fresh white ceilings and trim. Maximises your listing appeal without overcapitalising.

Quoted on scope — free estimate

Toronto’s condo market is one of the most active in North America. Whether you’re refreshing a unit before sale, repainting after a tenant moves out, or updating your own space, condo painting requires more coordination than a standard house job.
Building access, elevator booking, noise bylaw timing restrictions, and the need to minimise disruption to neighbours are all factors that affect scheduling and how we work. We’ve handled these logistics across downtown Toronto, North York, Etobicoke, and Mississauga condos.
Most condos and apartments under 1,000 sq ft can be fully painted in 1–2 days. Larger units or those requiring significant wall repairs take longer — we give you an accurate timeline in your written estimate, not a vague “a few days”.
  • Elevator booking and building access coordinated by us
  • Low-odour, low-VOC paints — safe for unit and neighbours
  • Noise-sensitive scheduling within bylaw hours
  • Full protection of lobby floors and common areas during access
  • Landlord and property manager quotes available
  • Move-out and tenant-turnover repaints with fast turnarounds

Yes — interior painting is fully available year-round. We manage all prep, ventilation and temperature requirements to ensure perfect curing regardless of the season outside.

A standard bedroom (walls only) runs $400-$800 + HST. With ceilings, trim, and doors included, the full-room cost is $600-$1,200 depending on size and condition. A full 3-bedroom house typically runs $4,500-$9,000 with everything included. We give you a fixed written quote after assessing in person.

Yes. We move furniture to the centre of the room and cover everything with canvas drop cloths. Floors are fully protected throughout. You don’t need to do anything before we arrive except remove small personal items and valuables.

We use professional-grade interior paints — Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and equivalent professional-tier products. We don’t use contractor-grade paints because they cover less, require more coats, and fail sooner. Every product is documented in your written quote before work begins.

How long before I can use the room after painting? A: Most interior latex paints are dry to the touch in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat in 4 hours. Rooms are typically usable the same day for light activity. Full cure — furniture reinstalled, normal use — takes 24-48 hours. We’ll give you specific timing based on the products used on your project.

Yes — this is standard for the majority of our projects. We work room-by-room and maintain clear access through the home at all times. We use low-VOC paints to minimise odour. Most families live normally throughout an interior painting project

We provide practical colour guidance on every project: advising on what works for your lighting, trim colour, and goal (resale neutral vs. personal expression). For a full professional colour consultation, we recommend a Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams colour consultant before booking — we can refer you to ones we work with regularly.
