Exterior Painting Toronto

Protect Your Home Elevate Your Curb Appeal.

Toronto’s climate is hard on exterior paint. Freeze-thaw cycles crack and lift paint from poorly prepared surfaces. UV from summer sun fades colour. Humidity causes peeling and mould growth on wood siding. A low-quality paint job done without proper prep will fail in 2–3 years — not 8–10.
At Shaq’s Painting Inc., every exterior project starts with a thorough surface assessment. We clean, scrape, sand, caulk, and prime before a single drop of topcoat goes on. We use only premium exterior paint — formulated specifically to handle Ontario winters and summer heat cycles.
The result is a paint job that looks exceptional on day one and holds up year after year. Your home is one of your largest assets. We treat it that way.

“The difference between a 3-year paint job and a 10-year paint job is almost entirely in the preparation. We never cut corners on prep — that’s what separates professional results from a basic coat of colour.”

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 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.

Pricing Guide

Interior Painting Cost
in Toronto (2025)

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.

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

$1,800–$3,000 + HST

$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”.

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.

Absolutely. Sanding between coats is a core part of our process — it’s what gives us that ultra-smooth, professional finish that distinguishes our work from a basic paint job.

Just remove small items and personal valuables. We handle the furniture moving, floor protection, taping and all wall prep — so you don’t have to stress about a thing.

In most cases, yes. Cabinet painting delivers a factory-like finish for roughly 20–30% of the cost of replacement. When done with our multi-step process, results last 8–10 years.

We use low-odour, fast-curing professional finishes for all cabinet work. Most clients are back cooking within 24–48 hours with minimal to no lingering scent.

Late spring through early fall (May–October) is ideal in Toronto. We need temperatures above 10°C and dry weather. We’ll always advise you on the optimal timing for your specific project.

Yes — proper surface cleaning is always part of our exterior process. We assess each surface and use appropriate cleaning methods to ensure the best possible paint adhesion and longevity.
