Pricing
How much does painting cost?
Most painters won't give you a number until they see your place. We'll give you a starting range right here — and a precise written quote within 24 hours from your photos.
Why we publish prices
Transparency is part of the job.
Vague pricing is a game most contractors play to get in the door before revealing real numbers. We don't play it. The ranges below are real — based on actual jobs we've quoted and completed across the GTA in 2026. Your job may land higher or lower depending on specifics, but you won't be surprised.
