Professional Painting For Calgary, Okotoks, & Surrounding Areas
Interior or exterior repainting is all about the attention to detail to insure the job goes smoothly. Step one on a repaint is to choose your colors. We can help with that by offering opinions and suggestions, or showing you the color jacket and letting you decide completely on your own.
​
Great care is always taken when it comes time for job start; we want to make this as pleasant an experience as possible. Floors and counter tops are always covered when painting. Minor drywall touch-ups are always included in the price as well.

You will find that organisation and planning are very easy when the estimator and the painter are the same person!
​
The best way to finish woodwork is by spraying. This will give you that beautiful, smooth, sheen you are looking for. Lacquer is normally used as it gives the best quality, but there are also other products that can be used to achieve a beautiful finish.

Rising in popularity are products low in VOCs (volitile organic compounds). These are better for your home environment and while not being quite as durable yet, they are always improving the quality of the newest "environmentally friendly" lacquers.

Re-finishing wood such as old cabinets or furniture usually has to be evaluated on a case by case basis as many factors will come into play on the re-finishing process such as, age, condition, and previous coatings used.
If you are starting from scratch we can provide all the painting services necessary to bring your house under construction, to a home ready to live in.

There are five common steps to completing a paint job on a "new build".
​
1. Wall Priming: This is done when the drywall taping and mudding is complete and sanded. Coating the walls with a latex primer will allow the walls to be properly conditioned for the final coats of paint.
​
2. Drywall Touch-ups: This is done after the priming stage; the coat of primer on the walls will show all the blemishes and allow them to be fixed before the painting has started.
​
3. Ceilings: The next step is to coat the ceilings, if need be. Usually on a new build these will be sprayed with an acrylic latex, usually in a Flat sheen.
​
4. Wood Finishing: When the carpenters are done installing the trim, doors, and cabinetry they will need to be coated (not the carpenters, but the wood work!) The best finish comes from spraying these also. A number of different products can be used to coat the wood in your home, and usually at least three are used in every house. Many times a solid color will be chosen for the trim and doors. This can be accomplished with lacquer or acrylic latex based paint. A stain and clear finish is usually used on railings, cabinetry, and many types of built-ins. The products and methods used can always be tweaked and fine-tuned to accommodate your specific needs.

5. Wall Coating: This is the stage where your new house starts looking like a home. Most times two coats of acrylic latex paint in an Eggshell sheen are all it takes to complete the walls. All the ceilings, doorframes, windows, and corners are cut in with brushes, and then the walls are finished off with rollers. Job complete!
