Common Questions
What clients usually ask
How much does interior painting cost per square foot in Ontario?
Interior walls and ceilings: $3.50–$6.50/sq ft of floor area at medium–high Ontario market rates, including prep and two coats. Trim and doors are typically a separate line item.
How long does interior painting take?
A typical bedroom takes 1–2 days including prep and two coats. A full home interior takes 1–3 weeks depending on size, condition, and trim complexity.
Do you paint kitchen cabinets?
Yes. Cabinet painting requires a proper prep and finish system — cleaning, deglossing, sanding, priming, and two finish coats minimum. Done correctly, it holds up for years without peeling.
What about popcorn ceilings?
We remove and refinish. Pre-1985 popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos — we flag this and recommend testing before removal.
Do you do exterior painting in Ontario's climate?
Yes — siding, soffit, fascia, trim, doors, and porches. Exterior prep (scraping, sanding, caulking, priming) is non-negotiable. We only paint exterior when temperature and humidity are within manufacturer specs.

Why DRW
Why clients choose DRW
for painting
01
Prep Is the Work
Most painting failures come from skipped prep. DRW fills, sands, primes, and masks before a drop of finish coat goes on the wall.
02
Interior + Exterior
Full home interiors, room-by-room work, or targeted exterior — siding, soffits, trim, and porches at the same standard.
03
Cabinets Done Right
Proper prep, prime, and finish coat system. Done correctly it holds like a factory finish for years without lifting or peeling.
04
Commercial Painting
Offices, retail, and commercial common areas. Commercial-grade coatings and scheduling around operating hours.
05
Drying Time Managed
We manage ventilation, drying time, and recoat windows properly — no shortcuts that lead to soft coats and early peeling.
06
Landlord-Grade Durability
Scrubbable, eggshell or satin sheens in rental units. High-traffic areas get the right coating for washability and longevity.
