No salespeople, no hidden fees — just grab a tape measure, see your real price, and decide. That's the whole thing.
✓ Exact price, not a range
✓ Paint delivered or ready for pickup
✓ Done by a licensed painting professional
Property Type*
Just so we get the math right — residential or commercial?
What Are You Painting?*
Select all that apply.
Interior
Exterior
Your Reason For Painting*
Your Rooms
Grab a tape measure. Just the length and width along the floor, for each room.
Ceiling height? Not needed — unless it's unusually tall (10ft+), then flag it below so we bring enough paint.
Room names. Tap to rename (Kitchen, Master Bedroom, etc.).
Exterior Estimates
Self-serve exterior pricing isn't ready yet — brick/aluminum/PVC siding, garage doors, deck staining, posts, stairs, windows, concrete walls, and fascia & gutters are all coming soon.
For now, we'll follow up with you directly for an exterior quote — if you also checked Interior above, that portion is still priced instantly below.
A few questions about the job
Just a few things that apply to the whole job, not any one room.
Someone will be living or working in the space while we paint
This needs to be done on a tight timeline
Multiple paint colours or a premium/specialty finish
This needs to happen after normal business hours
What brand of paint do you prefer?
Your Estimate
Here's every line that goes into your price — nothing hidden, nothing tacked on later.
What happens after you accept
✓ Your paint shows up at your door — or waits for pickup, your call. No store runs for you.
✓ A licensed, qualified painter does the work at the exact price above — nothing added once we start, as long as what we find matches what you told us.
✓ No sales calls, no upsells, no back-and-forth — accept, and we'll get it on the calendar.
✓ Once you accept, we'll sort out your paint finish — eggshell, pearl, velvet, whatever you like — and get a date locked in.
Accept This Estimate
Drop your info below and we'll follow up to schedule — your price is already locked in above.
Accepting sends your exact measurements, answers, price, and any photos you uploaded straight to us so we can confirm and schedule. This locks in the price shown; it does not charge you anything.
This price is based entirely on the measurements and answers you provided above. It only changes if what we find on-site doesn't match what was reported here — for example, room sizes, wall condition, or the scope of work being materially different from what you told us. If everything matches, the price shown is the price you pay, no exceptions. Photos help us verify condition ahead of time, so uploading a few is the best way to lock this number in with confidence.
How to measure a room
All you need: a tape measure (or laser measure), paper, and a pen.
Clear the space so you can run the tape wall-to-wall without furniture in the way.
Measure length and width along the floor, baseboard to baseboard, in feet (that small gap in the wall above is just the doorway).
That's it — no need to measure height. (If it's 10ft+, just check that box on the room's checklist.)
Measuring an irregular room
If a room isn't a simple rectangle — an L-shape, a main area with a nook or alcove — break it into rectangular sections instead.
Measure each section's length and width separately, the same way as before.
Add the length numbers together, and separately add the width numbers together (example: Width A 12 + Width B 6 = 18 — Length A 16 + Length B 4 = 20).
Enter those two combined totals as the Length and Width for the room on the estimate page.
Still not sure? Check our FAQ, or have our team measure it for you in person instead.
Common Questions
Is the price shown final?
Yes — it's based entirely on the measurements and answers you provide. It only changes if what we find on-site doesn't match what was reported here.
Do you supply the paint?
Yes. The price includes paint, delivered to your door or ready for pickup — your call.
Can I choose my own paint colour and finish?
Yes. Once you accept, we'll sort out your exact finish — eggshell, pearl, velvet, whatever you like.
What paint brands can I choose from?
Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams — pick your preference in the questions above and pricing updates automatically.
What if I want someone from your team to come out and measure for me?
Sure, no problem! Click below and follow the same steps to book an in-person visit.
What if my measurements are a little off?
Small differences are fine. The price only changes if the on-site condition or scope turns out to be materially different from what you told us — for example, very different room sizes or wall condition.
Does accepting this estimate charge me anything?
No. Accepting just locks in the price shown and lets us follow up to schedule — it does not charge you.
What happens right after I accept?
No sales calls, no upsells — we'll reach out to confirm your paint finish and get a date locked in.
Is there a minimum job size?
Yes. If your total estimate comes in below our minimum, we adjust it up to that minimum so it still makes sense to schedule — you'll see it listed as its own line if it applies to your job.
Do I have to pay sales tax?
Yes — GST (5%) and QST (9.975%) are added automatically and broken out as their own lines in your total, same as any other service in Quebec.
Is there a staircase connected to the room/area you want painted (e.g. Living Room, Front Entrance)?
No problem — in that room's checklist, check "This area/room includes a staircase" and enter the number of steps. We'll handle the rest from there.
What if I only want one wall painted, like an accent wall?
Check "Just a wall" on that room's card. You'll get dedicated length and height fields for just that wall, priced at our accent-wall rate instead of a full room rate.
Do you paint ceilings and trim, or just walls?
Both, if you want them. Check "Ceiling is being painted too" and/or "Trim & baseboards to be painted" on any room and we'll price and supply paint for those too.
How do I know if the walls need priming?
Check the box if the walls have peeling paint, water stains, bare or newly patched drywall, or you're going from a dark colour to a light one. Regular walls in decent shape don't need it.
What's the difference between minor damage and "noticeable" holes/cracks?
Small, everyday stuff — a few nail holes, minor scuffs from picture hooks — is repaired at no charge as part of normal prep. Check "Noticeable holes, cracks, or repairs" only for larger damage: bigger holes, multiple cracks, water stains, or anything needing real patching before we can paint. That adds a small prep charge and includes patching materials (spackle, caulk, sandpaper).
What is trim and baseboards?
Baseboard is the trim running along the bottom of the wall, where it meets the floor.
Trim is the frame-like moulding around doors and windows.
Check the box if you'd like these painted too — they're priced and supplied separately from the wall paint itself.
What is priming?
Primer is a prep coat applied before your paint colour goes on. It helps the topcoat stick evenly, seals stains so they don't bleed through, and gives bare or patched drywall a uniform surface to paint over.
Check this box if any of your walls have peeling paint, water stains, bare/new drywall, or patched repair areas — skipping primer on surfaces like these usually means blotchy colour or paint that doesn't hold up over time.
