Wall painting that’s smooth, even, and built to last.
Your walls are the biggest surface in any room — and the first thing anyone notices. We prep them properly, prime where it matters, and roll two full coats of premium paint for a flawless, durable finish that wipes clean and holds its colour for years.
What separates a great wall finish from a cheap one
Anyone can roll paint on a wall. The difference is everything that happens first — filling and sanding every flaw, caulking gaps, spot-priming stains and repairs, and cutting clean lines by hand where walls meet ceilings and trim. We use premium, washable paints and apply two full coats for even colour and coverage with no flashing, roller marks, or thin spots. The result looks sharp under any light.
The right sheen for the room
Matte & flat
Hides surface imperfections beautifully. Ideal for ceilings, low-traffic walls, and bedrooms.
Eggshell
The everyday favourite — a soft, low-sheen finish that wipes clean. Great for living rooms and hallways.
Satin
A touch more sheen and durability for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas.
Semi-gloss
Tough and scrubbable for trim, doors, and moisture-prone walls.
The walls we paint
Drywall
New or existing — sanded smooth, primed, and finished even.
Plaster
Older Ottawa homes done carefully, with cracks stabilized before paint.
Textured & stipple
Repaired or smoothed — including safe handling of older asbestos texture.
Concrete & block
Basements and commercial walls sealed and finished to last.
Previously painted
Glossy or dark walls deglossed and primed so new colour holds.
New construction
First-coat and finish painting for renovations and new builds.
How we prepare your walls
Clean & protect
Walls cleaned of dust and grease; floors, fixtures, and furniture covered.
Patch & sand
Holes, cracks, and dents filled and sanded flat — the step most painters rush.
Caulk & seal
Gaps caulked and stains sealed with stain-blocking primer so they never bleed back.
Prime
Repairs and bare spots primed so colour goes on even, with no flashing.
Two finish coats
Clean cut lines by hand and two full rolled coats for rich, uniform colour.
Common wall problems we solve
✓Cracks & settling lines
Filled, taped where needed, and sanded so they don’t telegraph through.
✓Nail pops
Re-set and skim-coated flat.
✓Water & smoke stains
Sealed with stain-blocking primer so they stay gone.
✓Holes & dents
Patched and feathered, from pinholes to large repairs.
✓Peeling or flaking
Scraped, sanded, and primed back to a sound surface.
✓Dark or bold colours
Properly primed and double-coated so the old colour never ghosts through.
Colour & accent walls
Not sure what colour? We bring samples, talk through the light in your room, and can match an existing colour exactly. Want one wall to pop? Accent and feature walls are the highest-impact, lowest-cost change you can make — and we cut every transition razor-sharp.
Wall painting FAQ
How many coats do you apply?
Two full finish coats over primed surfaces — standard on every job — for even colour and lasting coverage.
Can you paint over a dark or bold colour?
Yes. We prime first and apply two coats so the old colour never shows through.
Do you repair cracks and holes, or just paint?
We repair first. Patching, sanding, caulking, and priming are included — a flawless finish starts underneath.
Is the paint washable?
Yes — we use durable, scrubbable finishes so marks and scuffs wipe clean.
How long until the walls are dry?
Most walls are dry to the touch in a couple of hours and fully cured within a few days. You can usually use the room the same day.
