Residential Painting Services | SOLARA PAINTING ELEMENTS | Toronto, ON

How much does residential painting cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, prep level, access, and the paint system. As a starting point, interior walls are often priced around $3.00/sq ft, and exteriors often range $3.00–$6.00/sq ft of surface area. For an accurate range, send photos and a rough size.
What does your estimate include?
Our written estimates outline the scope, prep steps, materials, and what is excluded. Most projects include surface protection, patching and sanding as needed, priming where required, the paint system quoted, daily cleanup, and a final walkthrough.
Do you supply paint and materials?
Yes. We can supply all paint and materials as part of the quote. If you prefer to provide paint, we can confirm the right product, sheen, and quantity so results match expectations.
How quickly can you give me a quote?
Fast ranges are usually possible within 24 hours when you send 3–8 photos, your address or neighborhood, and a basic scope. On-site quotes or video walkthroughs are available for larger or more detailed projects.
What photos should I send for the fastest estimate?
Send wide shots of each area, plus closeups of any damage, peeling, stains, wallpaper seams, or ceiling texture. For exteriors, include front, back, each side, and closeups of any problem spots.
How long will the job take?
Most interiors take 1–5 days, depending on the number of rooms and prep. Exterior timelines depend on weather and access. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated if conditions change.
What affects the final price the most?
The biggest drivers are prep needs, surface condition, height and access, trim detail level, color changes (especially dark-to-light), specialty finishes (limewash, wallpaper), and the coating system selected.
Do you handle drywall repairs and surface prep?
Yes. We can patch holes, fix nail pops, repair cracks, address stains (with the right primer), caulk gaps, and sand for a smooth finish. If we find larger issues like active leaks or structural cracking, we will flag it and recommend the right next step.
Can you remove popcorn ceilings, and is it messy?
Yes. We set up containment and dust control, protect floors and furniture, remove the texture, then skim, sand, prime, and paint as quoted. Pricing depends on whether the texture is painted, ceiling height, and how much smoothing is required.
Are you insured, and do you offer a warranty?
We are licensed and insured. Warranty terms depend on the scope and products used, and will be included in your written estimate so expectations are clear.
