Frequently Asked Questions

Why hire a professional painting company?

Interior residential painting is one of the most common projects homeowners attempt to undertake themselves. Many DIYers feel that compared to other renovation projects, painting feels the most achievable - after all, it's just a can of paint, a roller, and a paint brush right?

While you can purchase paint and supplies quite affordably, many are unaware of just how time-consuming painting can be. In addition, if proper preparation and procedures aren't followed, or incorrect finishes or paint types are selected, the final result can often be far from what was originally desired.

Hiring professional painters like Cadence Painting ensures that your dream project is completed without headaches and surprises. We will work with you to bring your vision to life with quality workmanship and efficient timelines.

How long will it take to paint my house?

This is entirely dependent on the size of the home, the scope of work, the existing and new colours, and complexity of the project. An average 1,500 sqft home will take approximately 2 weeks, however to get a more accurate timeline for your project, please reach out to us for a free estimate!

How much will it cost?

Interior painting costs are entirely dependent on the size of your home, which surfaces you want painted, and which quality of paint you select. Cadence Painting provides free estimates so reach out for a free in home consultation!

Do you provide paint and supplies?

At Cadence Painting we provide all paint and supplies. In order to provide our warranties and personal guarantees, we need to provide the proper materials appropriate for your specific project.

How do I choose the right colour and finish?

Choosing the right colour and finish can feel overwhelming with thousands of options available. As a Sherwin-Williams Pro+ member we offer complimentary colour consultations with Sherwin-Williams design experts to help you find shades that complement your space and bring your vision to life.

For finishes, different surfaces require different sheens - walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinets all have ideal finish options that balance durability and appearance. We'll walk you through the right choices for every surface in your home during your free estimate.

Do I need to move my furniture?

We recommend moving smaller items and valuables to a safe location away from painting activities before we arrive. For larger pieces like couches, beds, and dining tables we can typically work around them, and will make sure everything is fully protected with drop cloths throughout the project. If you have any concerns about specific items just let us know ahead of time and we'll work out a plan together.
