Get it Painted by a Pro
Save your free time and skip the stress of DIY. Local Pros bring the right tools and experience to manage the tedious prep and detailed brushwork, ensuring a clean, professional finish in every room:
Interior Walls & Ceilings
Leave the ladders to the Pro. They are equipped to handle tricky staircases and ceilings while helping prevent uneven roller marks.
Cabinets & Vanities
Refresh your cabinetry with a professional application designed to be smoother than a standard DIY brush job, helping you avoid drips on highly visible surfaces.
Trim, Baseboards & Doors
Give your space a crisp look without the messy edges. Local Pros use precise taping and painting for the baseboards, crown molding, and doors that frame your home.
Drywall Prep & Minor Repairs
Proper prep is the secret to a consistent finish. Ask your Pro to include filling nail holes, patching dings, and sanding surfaces before the first coat goes on.
Factor | How It Impacts Your Painting Quote |
1. Square Footage & Height | Larger rooms require more paint and labor. High ceilings or two-story foyers often require scaffolding, which adjusts the estimate. |
2. Surface Preparation | Walls in great condition cost less to paint. If there is extensive drywall damage, peeling paint, or wallpaper removal needed, expect prep costs to be factored in. |
3. Type & Finish of Paint | You have complete control here. Choosing standard flat paints versus premium, scuff-resistant, or zero-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints will shift the materials cost. |
4. Detail Work (Trim & Doors) | Painting flat walls is fast. Carefully taping and painting intricate baseboards, crown molding, and window frames takes precision time. |
5. Labour Time | All the factors listed above directly impact the amount of time a painter is needed for. Your final quote reflects not just the material cost, but also the total labour cost required to complete the job to a professional standard. |

What Are the Different Types of Interior Paint Finishes?
Not sure which sheen is right for your home's lighting and traffic? Your Local Pro can help recommend the perfect finish during your consultation, but here is a quick guide to understanding your options:
Flat/Matte
Has the lowest amount of shine. It is a cost-effective choice that hides minor wall imperfections beautifully. As an added bonus, flat paint has a faster drying time between coats, which can help speed up your project's timeline. However, it is less wipeable than glossier finishes.
Best for: Adult bedrooms, dining rooms, and ceilings.
Eggshell
The perfect middle ground. It offers a mostly flat look with a very subtle, soft luster. It is slightly more durable and easier to clean than a flat finish.
Best for: Living rooms, family rooms, and hallways.
Satin
The most popular interior paint finish. It has a noticeable, velvety glossiness that holds up well to scrubbing and moisture. Keep in mind that higher shine can highlight drywall imperfections.
Best for: Children’s rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Semi-Gloss
A sleek, shiny paint that allows light to bounce off the walls. It provides high resistance to moisture and wear, making it exceptionally easy to wipe down.
Best for: Bathrooms, laundry rooms, doors, and utility rooms.
High-Gloss
Offers a highly durable, brilliant, mirror-like finish. Because it requires a perfectly smooth surface to look its best, it is usually reserved for architectural accents rather than full walls.
Best for: Kitchen cabinets, high-traffic doors, and custom trim.
Get Inspired
Inject some colour into your world or opt for a timeless neutral – it all depends on how you want to transform your space. Explore the trends, creative designs, and one-of-a-kind paint colours to get inspired for your upcoming painting project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interior Painting Services
General Questions
-
No, you do not have to buy the paint. In most cases, your Local Pro will supply the paint and include the cost of materials in your estimate. If you prefer to purchase your own Behr®, Gidden®, or Kilz® paint from The Home Depot ahead of time, simply let your Pro know so they only quote you for the labour.
-
It typically takes a professional painter 6 to 12 hours to paint a standard 10x12 foot room. This timeframe includes basic surface preparation, taping, applying two coats of paint, and final cleanup. Larger spaces, complex trim, or extensive drywall patching will extend this time.
-
Most professional painters will help move large, heavy furniture to the center of the room and cover it with protective drop cloths. However, you should remove all small items, fragile decor, and electronics from the room before they arrive.
-
Many homeowners choose warm, versatile neutrals such as soft greiges, creamy off-whites, and warm taupes for main living spaces. Rich accent colours like deep blues and earthy greens are also popular for feature walls and cabinetry.
-
Yes, drastic colour changes can impact how long your project takes. For example, if you are painting a light colour (like white) over a very dark wall (like black or navy), it will require more coats of primer and paint to achieve full, even coverage. This adds to both the material cost and the drying time. Your Local Pro will evaluate your current walls and factor this into your initial estimate.
