Our Interior Painting Services in Calgary

We do the whole range of professional painting services that Calgary homeowners need. – from painting your entire house to just giving one room a fresh coat and some new trim work. Whether you're updating an older house from the 90s or just moving into a brand new build, our painters and interior specialists have the skills to deliver top-notch results.

Spaces we paint:

• Living rooms and family rooms are the heart of your home

• Bedrooms (master suites, kids' rooms, guest rooms) that need a bit of TLC

• Kitchens and dining areas where the action happens

• Bathrooms and powder rooms that deserve a bit of sparkle

• Hallways and stairwells that just need a refresh

• Basements with 8-10 foot ceilings (if you've got one of those)

• Downtown condo units with a unique set of challenges

But painting walls is just the start, we also do trim, baseboards, doors, casings, and window trim – all the little details that make a room look finished and complete. Accent walls and feature walls are very popular in modern Calgary layouts, and we can help you pick colours that perfectly match your furniture and decor.

The real advantage? We can include professional minor handyman work at the same time, such as re-caulking your baseboards or making hardware changes on your doors. Our crew can handle it all, even for commercial properties saving you time and the hassle of scheduling separate trades.

Wall, Ceiling, and Trim Painting

We've seen our fair share of colour trends come and go in Calgary homes - the classic 90's beige to modern neutrals that suit today's style and Calgary's unique light. What matters is the process as much as the colour – we take the necessary precautions to achieve exceptional results with crisp lines, smooth finishes, and careful cut-ins that set professional work apart from amateur. For ceiling work, we can paint flat ceilings and refresh previously textured ceilings once they're properly prepared or repaired (please note we don't handle asbestos abatement).

Trim, baseboards, and interior doors get special treatment. They need durable, high-sheen finishes that can withstand the demands of busy Calgary households with kids and pets. We apply semi-gloss or satin finishes that clean easily and resist scuffs, so your beautiful painting work lasts for years.

Kitchen, Bathroom, and Basement Painting project

It's Not Just About the Walls

A kitchen refresher is about more than just slapping some new paint on the walls. We talk bulkheads, pantry interiors & all those areas around backsplashes - especially after a 2020-2024 renovation where you're trying to get that new tile to match up with old paint. If you've already updated your cabinets & countertops, a fresh coat of paint on the surrounding walls will tie the room together.

Bathroom & Laundry Room Painting - The Calgary Way

When painting bathrooms and laundry rooms, you don't want to rush into it without considering the environment you're working in. Calgary's very dry air, combined with steamy showers, is a unique combination, so we use paints specifically designed to handle moisture and prevent peeling and mildew growth, which our exterior painters will also consider for any related projects . You should see this stuff looking great for years to come, not just a couple of months.

Basement Painting- Calgary's Concrete Conundrum

Basements are a specialty for a lot of Calgary homes - whether your walls are concrete, drywall or a mix of both, or if you've got exposed ductwork, we know just how to prep and paint it all so it looks great. In places like Cranston, Silverado, and Evanston, where many basements are as good as the main floor, we ensure stairwells receive extra attention to get those tricky corners right.

Condo & Rental Suite Interior Painting in Downtown Calgary

Condo owners in downtown Calgary, especially in the Beltline, East Village, and Sunalta, have to navigate a whole bunch of rules & restrictions when they're planning an interior paint job for their business - we're talking building rules, elevator bookings, and parking restrictions. We have experience working with all this and know how to get the job done efficiently without causing any headaches for property managers or neighbours.

For Landlords & Property Managers:

• Quick turnaround packages so you can get suites painted between tenants and minimize those vacancy costs

• 1-3 day completion windows so you can get back to business as usual

• Standard neutral color packages that photograph well for listings

• Predictable pricing that makes budgeting easy

• Professional results that keep tenants happy & protect property values

We know that if you're managing multiple properties across Calgary, you want to streamline your maintenance schedule & get the same quality across all your properties. We can work with you to establish an ongoing relationship that makes that happen.

Our Calgary Interior Painting Process

We have a clear, step-by-step process designed for Calgary homes, and it's all about getting your project done on time & with minimal disruption to your life. No surprises, no endless delays - just a straightforward path from that first call to the final walkthrough.

Here's how a typical project goes:

We start when you call us for a free estimate - we'll go over the scope of work, come out and take a look at your space, and give you straightforward pricing based on what we see. We'll discuss colors and products - whether you want low-VOC paints for your family, and any specific brands you like.

Once we've got all the details sorted out, we'll schedule your project with clear start & finish dates. Standard interior repaints in 2-3-bedroom homes usually take 1-3 days, depending on the size & scope. You'll know exactly when we're coming & when we'll be done.

On painting day, we arrive on time & get to work with thorough preparation before we even start painting. Once the painting is complete, we perform a detailed cleanup and invite you to a final walkthrough. We don't consider the job done until you've reviewed every room and are satisfied with the results.

Getting Ready

Protecting What We Don't Want to Paint

Proper prep is what makes a fantastic job - it's what separates us from the rest. We begin by moving furniture to the center of the room and covering everything with plastic sheeting. Floors get protected with drop cloths - especially if you've got original hardwood or tile from the 80s to the 2020s.

We fix nail holes, repair small cracks, perform light sanding, and prime problem areas. That old water stain from a leak? We prime it to prevent bleeding through. Strong colours like that red accent wall that was all the rage 10 years ago? We prime them so they don't show up as a ghost image.

We carefully tape off edges, mask fixtures, and protect outlets and switches. All this attention to detail comes from being a handyman brand that treats your home with respect and leaves it better than we found it.

The Painting

The Finishing Touches

We usually apply two coats of high-quality paint to get even coverage. If you're switching from dark to light, we add extra coats to ensure there's no trace of what was there before.

Our cutting-in technique gets nice, sharp lines around ceilings, windows & trim - especially important in those open-concept Calgary layouts where you can see right across the room. Nice lines are what you expect from a quality paint job - sloppy lines are just a giveaway.

Final details matter. We put back the outlet covers, touch up any missed spots, and do a room-by-room check with you to make sure you're happy with everything. We don't pack up until you're good with every wall, corner & piece of trim.

Paints & Materials We Use

We work with a handful of top-notch brands that are widely available in Calgary— brands we know Calgary homeowners tend to prefer, like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Dulux. These top-tier paints consistently deliver the rich colour, durability, and super-coverage that make them real stars of the Calgary market.

Paint options our team recommends:

Surface: living room walls
Recommended Finish: Eggshell or matte
Best For: looks great, hides imperfections & gives a warm glow.

Surface: trim & doors
Recommended Finish: Semi-gloss or satin
Best For: perfect for durability & making cleaning a breeze

Surface: bathrooms/kitchens
Recommended Finish: Satin with moisture resistance
Best For: handles that daily steam and water exposure.

Surface: kids rooms
Recommended Finish: Washable eggshell
Best For: lets you scrub away inevitable marks

Surface: basements
Recommended Finish: Matte or eggshell
Best For: ideal for low-light spaces that don't need much flair.

People are increasingly choosing low-VOC interior paints in houses with young children, pets, or family members with allergies—these paints significantly reduce off-gassing & smell. That means you can stay in your home during and immediately after painting without the overpowering 'fresh paint' odor.

How to pick the colours that'll suit your Calgary home

Calgary's strong sunlight streaming through those south-facing windows really makes a difference in how your colours look throughout the day. And let's be honest, when you're choosing colours under artificial light in a store, you can't get the full picture. We've found that warmer neutrals are a lifesaver for stopping rooms from feeling cold and stark.

We're always happy to collaborate with your interior designer if you have one lined up, or we can provide practical ideas based on the trends we're seeing in Calgary show homes this year.

At the moment, the popular colours include:

• Warm whites like Benjamin Moore's 'White Dove' for those open-concept main floors

• Soft greiges that work just as well in bright or dim lighting

• Deep greens or navy blues for accent walls in home offices

• Warm terracotta or rust tones for the living room feature walls

• Pale blues for bedrooms that stay soothing all year round

Instead of just saying "choose what you like", we give you concrete advice based on your home's orientation, natural light & existing finishes. What looks great in a south-facing Silverado home might look completely different in a north-facing Beltline condo.

We fix the foundation to paint on it

Lots of Calgary homes built between 1995 and 2015 have developed cracks, dinged screws or little dings from daily wear and tear - these are normal but need fixing before painting if you want to see the best results.

Common repairs our crew handles:

• Filling holes from old TV mounts and picture hangers

• Fixing corner bead damage on staircases and hallway corners

• Repairing minor water staining after a proper leak has been sorted

• Filling cracks around door frames & window casings

• Smoothing out texture inconsistencies from previous repairs

The best part of doing drywall repair & painting together in one go is how efficient it makes everything. You save on hiring separate trades, avoid scheduling headaches, and achieve a smooth finish because the same crew handles both jobs, ensuring beautiful work every step of the way . Fix it first, paint it once - that's our way of doing things.

When there's more to it than just a coat of paint

Our handyman team often discovers issues beyond simple patching during prep work. We can re-caulk baseboards that have pulled away from the walls, fix loose trim, and address any basic carpentry issues that'll show through fresh paint if left unaddressed.

You can bet we prime any repaired areas before painting so the final finish is smooth & even. It's easy to skip this step with some less thorough painters, but that just leaves visible patches that defeat the purpose of repainting.

If we encounter serious structural issues or active moisture problems, we'll flag them immediately to ensure we deliver a fantastic job . Some situations need a specialist before painting can start, and we'd rather be upfront about that than cover up a problem. We look after your long-term interests - not just a quick fix.

Why pick Calgary Handyman Services for interior painting?

Large painting companies often lack the flexibility to handle small repairs that arise during prep work, which is why you should hire our skilled team . And those impersonal big-box referral services send whoever's available to the site , with little continuity between jobs. Our approach is different: we're a skilled team that is local, multi-skilled handyman team that handles painting and related tasks for our customers , ensuring a job is completed from start to finish.

Benefits of our approach:

• One team for painting & small repairs all in one visit

• Flexible scheduling that fits with your calendar

• A local crew who work all over Calgary year-round

• Single point of contact from the estimate to the finish line

• No subcontractor shuffle - you know who's in your home

That makes a big difference whether you're a busy pro who can't take multiple days off for different contractors, a young family juggling the kids' schedules, or a senior wanting consistent, trustworthy service. Our clients really appreciate knowing their painter can also fix that sticky door, touch up damaged trim, or put up that new shelf they were meaning to hang.

Local pros - background-checked and insured

Every Calgary Handyman Painter is background-checked and carries liability insurance. And it's not a matter of whether they do or don’t - it’s standard practice for every single one of our team members. It’s reassuring to know that the passionate people working in your home have been thoroughly vetted for your safety.

This documentation is especially important for condo and multi-family buildings. Property managers often require proof of insurance before any contractor can begin work. We ensure this paperwork is ready during the estimate process—we don’t want to leave you waiting for awkward delays or excuses.

Feel free to ask for our insurance certificates and safety credentials when you book your estimate. At Calgary Handyman Painter, we believe in full transparency and professionalism, and we're happy to show you what we do.

Clean, On-Time, and Respectful in Your Home

When we commit to arriving when we say we will, we plan for contingencies to stay on schedule. Calgary winters can be pretty unpredictable, but we factor that in when we schedule our jobs - we don’t use weather as an excuse.

How we keep disruption to a minimum:

• We tidy up every day - tools put away, floors vacuumed or swept

• We keep paths clear so you and your family can keep living in the home while we work

• We have advanced discussions with you about noise and access, especially if you work from home

• We use plastic barriers to separate work areas and living spaces

• And we take care to move your personal belongings and pets with respect

We're used to working around real Calgary families in real homes - that means kids who need access to their rooms, pets who get curious about new people, and home offices where video calls are a regular thing. We see these as opportunities to serve, not obstacles.

Interior Painting for Property Managers and Landlords

If you manage rental properties across Calgary - from downtown apartments to townhomes in McKenzie Towne and Panorama Hills - you know how much of a difference our commercial painting services can make for our clients in minimising vacancy and maintaining property values. That's why we work directly with property managers - we understand that your needs differ from typical homeowner projects.

We provide commercial painting services for multi-unit residential properties, completing multiple small repairs and a full repaint in a single visit before new tenants move in. This efficiency saves you time and gets your units back on the market faster.

What we offer property managers:

• Standardised colour schemes across your portfolio for easy touch-ups

• Volume pricing if you have an ongoing relationship with us

• Clear invoicing with detailed scope documentation

• Reliable scheduling that fits in with your tenant turnover windows

• And direct communication with your maintenance coordinator

Turnover and Move-Out Painting

Those 24 to 72-hour turnaround windows between tenants can be pretty tight - barely enough time to clean, do repairs, and paint if you're juggling multiple contractors. We prioritise these deck and painting projects because we know the cost of extended vacancies.

When it comes to Turnover painting, we address damage from previous tenants, repaint high-traffic areas that show wear, and refresh the trim so suites look their best in online listings. A fresh coat of paint in a neutral colour can transform how prospective tenants view a space - and often justifies a slightly higher rent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Calgary Interior Painting

These FAQs cover the most common questions we get from Calgary homeowners. If you don't see your question here, we're happy to give you a straightforward answer.

How much does interior painting cost in Calgary?

The price really depends on room size, ceiling height, surface condition, and paint quality. A typical bedroom costs between $300 and $600, while a large main-floor area in an average Calgary home might cost between $2,000 and $4,500. We provide free estimates with transparent pricing so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.

How long will my interior painting project take?

Most standard 2-3 bedroom interior repaints take 1-3 days. Larger homes, extensive prep work, or a dramatic colour change might take longer. We give you clear start and finish dates when we schedule your job.

Do I need to move all my furniture before you arrive?

No, we move the furniture as part of our process. We shift everything to the centre of the rooms and cover it with plastic. You're welcome to move small, valuable items if you wish, but we handle the rest.

What about paint smell and ventilation during Calgary winters?

We use low-VOC paints, which reduce odour. We also recommend keeping a window open a crack when you can - even in winter. Modern paints cure quickly, and most clients find the odor dissipates within 24-48 hours.

Can you combine painting with other handyman tasks?

Absolutely - this is one of our biggest advantages. Clients often request services such as installing shelves, mounting TVs, replacing light fixtures, or adjusting doors during their painting project. One visit, multiple things ticked off your list.

Do you paint kitchen cabinets?

Yes, we do cabinet painting and refinishing. Proper cabinet work requires specialized preparation and materials distinct from wall painting, but our team has the skills and experience to deliver strong results.

What if I’m Not Pleased with the Colour After You’ve Painted?

There's a reason colour consultations happen before we even pick up a brush. We want you to be happy with your final look, and that's why we encourage you to test out some colour samples on your walls in different lighting conditions - it makes a huge difference. If somehow you're really not happy with the final result, we want to hear about it, and we'll do everything we can to make it right - we're all about customer satisfaction.
