Interior painting in Markham is often on a deadline. A lot of my work here happens in the short window after a sale closes and before the furniture arrives, which is the easiest time to repaint a whole house and the hardest time to be late.
The rest is ordinary living room and bedroom work in Berczy, Wismer, Unionville and Milliken. Old plaster and new drywall both get the same attention: fill, sand, prime the repairs, then two coats. I quote first, I do the work myself, and I clean up as I go.
A lot of my Markham painting happens in the gap between closing and moving day, when the house is empty and the whole main floor and upstairs can be done in one run. Empty is faster and cleaner, but the deadline is fixed, so I plan the order of rooms around it. Cornell adds its own wrinkle: narrow deep plans, garages off the rear lane and three floors of stairs, so everything gets carried in through the front door.

I look at every surface you want painted, check the trim, ceilings and past repairs, note what needs filling or priming, and talk through sheen and colour with you. Photos sent ahead of the visit speed the quote up.
Furniture moves to the centre and gets sheeted, floors are protected, plates and hardware come off, then holes are filled, joints are caulked and every patch is primed so nothing flashes through the finish.
Ceilings first, then walls, then trim and doors, two coats on each, keeping a wet edge and rolling back into the cut line so the finish reads the same right across the wall.
Hardware and plates go back on, the room is put together, rubbish leaves with me, and I walk the space with you in daylight so anything that is not right gets touched up before I go.
Painting is priced by the surface, not by the name of the room. A bedroom with smooth walls, sound trim and a light colour going over a light colour moves quickly. The same room takes far longer with cracked plaster, a dark colour underneath, tall ceilings, heavy furniture to shift, or oil-based trim that has to be scuffed and primed before it will hold paint. Supplying the paint myself adds material cost with receipts, and you are welcome to supply your own. Either way the price is agreed before I start.
Nothing starts before the price is agreed. Send a photo or two with your request and I can usually quote without a site visit.
That is the best time to do it, and it is a common request here. An empty house means no furniture to move, full access to every wall and faster drying with the windows open. Tell me the closing date early so I can hold the days, because those windows are short and fixed. I will confirm the price before I pick up a brush.
