Painting Services in Ajax, ON
Proper prep. Clean lines.
A lot of the painting we do in Ajax happens in the weeks after a move, once the new owners see the scuffed hallway and the builder beige in daylight. We offer painting services in Ajax for detached houses, townhouses and the condos near the GO station. Pedro does the prep before he opens a can: holes filled, rough spots sanded, edges taped and bare patches primed. That's what gives you clean lines that last.
Move-In Paint Jobs and Accent Walls in Ajax
Builders usually finish walls in a flat, low-sheen paint that marks easily and doesn't stand up to scrubbing. After a few years of kids, pets and furniture, that finish looks tired, and touch-ups rarely blend because flat paint shows every patch. Repainting the whole room is usually the better call. For interior painting in Ontario, a room typically costs $300 to $800, depending on its size, the ceiling height and how much prep it needs.
Accent walls are one of the upgrades Ajax owners ask for, and two-storey houses have plenty of good spots for one: the long wall beside the stairs, the wall behind a TV or the far end of a family room. A deep colour needs a tinted primer and often an extra coat to cover evenly, so we plan for that in the estimate. Ceilings and trim can be done at the same time if they need it.
Condos near the GO station and the townhouse complexes around town need a bit more planning. Hallways are tight and furniture has nowhere to go, so we work one room at a time and keep drop cloths down along the path in and out. If your building has rules for when trades can work, tell us and we'll book around them. An empty unit before move-in is the fastest and cheapest time to paint.

How painting services works
Pick your colours
If you're stuck between a few colours, we can help you narrow it down. If you've already picked, just send us the brand and colour code.
Surface prep
We fill holes, sand rough spots, clean the surfaces, tape the edges and prime wherever it's needed. It takes time, and it's where most of the difference comes from.
Painting
Coats go on evenly, one section at a time. Inside, we usually do two coats on the walls and two on the trim.
Touch-ups and cleanup
The tape comes off carefully, we touch up anything that needs it, and the room is left clean with the furniture back where it was.
Painting Services cost in Ajax
In Ontario, interior painting usually costs $300 to $800 per room. Size, ceiling height and the amount of prep all move the number.
Painting the full interior of a 3-bedroom home generally comes to $2,000 to $5,000.
Exterior painting depends on how big the house is and what shape the surfaces are in. For a typical single-family home, expect $2,500 to $6,000. We price painting by the project, not by the hour.
Every job gets a free written estimate first, so the price is settled before work starts.

Painting Services in Ajax: FAQ
Do you offer painting services in Ajax?
Yes. Ajax is part of our Durham Region service area, and we work there from our base in Bowmanville. Call or text (289) 928-5689, or request a free estimate online.
We just bought in Ajax and want to paint before the furniture arrives. How much time should we leave?
A single bedroom usually takes a day, including prep, two coats and cleanup, so count the rooms you want done and build in a little extra for halls and stairwells. Tell us your closing and moving dates and we'll work out what fits. We start with the rooms that would be hardest to empty later, like the main bedroom and the living room.
Can you paint over the dark colour the previous owner used in our Ajax family room?
Yes. Going from a deep colour to a light one usually means a coat of primer first and then two finish coats, or the old colour ghosts through. That adds some time and material, so we'll note it in the written estimate. If the walls were done in a glossy finish, we also scuff-sand them so the new paint has something to grip.
