Fixing Builder Paint North of Bloor Street

New houses north of Bloor often get one quick coat of flat builder paint on walls and ceilings alike. It looks fine on handover day. Then the first scuffs won't wash off, touch-ups leave patchy spots, and the cut line at the ceiling wanders. Correcting that means cutting in properly and putting a washable finish on the walls, with eggshell in the living areas and a tougher sheen in bathrooms and halls.

The 1980s and 1990s homes in the established parts of Courtice give a house painter more prep to deal with. Walls there carry years of patches, picture holes and earlier colour changes, and the trim may have a semi-gloss or oil finish that new paint won't stick to without sanding and primer. We fill, sand and prime before any colour goes on. In a room that's been repainted a few times, that prep is most of the difference between a finish that lasts and one that peels at the door frames.

If painting the whole house at once is too much disruption, we can work a room or a floor at a time. Interior rooms in Ontario usually cost $300 to $800 each, and a full 3-bedroom interior generally comes to $2,000 to $5,000. We usually use Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams, and if we supply the paint, it goes in the estimate at retail with no markup.
