What Affects Your Painting Cost?
- Surface condition — repair work is the biggest single variable on interior jobs
- Ceiling height — over nine feet adds roughly 15 percent
- Number of colours — each extra colour means extra setup
- Dark over light — strong colour changes often need a third coat
- Access and scheduling — commercial jobs price around after-hours access
Older homes can change the price. If your home was built before 1990, read Health Canada’s guide on lead-based paint before any sanding or scraping, and ask us about safe prep.
How Painting Prices Are Calculated
Labour is usually the largest part of a painting quote, often around 70 to 80 percent, while paint and materials make up the rest. That is why prep work, ceiling height and the number of rooms affect the price more than the paint itself. Our painting prices Toronto customers see are based on measured rooms, not guesses.

- Furniture and surfaces protected

Most North York interiors land between $2,000 and $5,500 depending on room count, ceiling height and wall condition. Exteriors depend on surface type and square footage. The only way to get an exact number is a free walkthrough.
By the job. You get a written price before we start, and that is the price you pay. If we find something unexpected during prep, we tell you before any extra work happens.
Yes. Commercial and multi-unit painting is quoted around square footage, access, and whether work needs to happen after hours or on weekends. Certificates of insurance are available on request.
Minor nail holes and small cracks are included. Larger repairs are scoped separately as Wall & Ceiling Repair so the price reflects the actual work.
Our minimum is $450, which covers a standard bedroom. Small touch-ups are usually better bundled with other rooms.
