Condo Painting in Calgary

Painted around your life

Most condo owners stay in their home while we work. We paint zone by zone — one area at a time, finished and back in use before the next begins — and when no repairs are needed, bedrooms are finished the same day, so you are never left without a place to sleep. Before painting starts, you clear the small items and valuables; our crew moves larger furniture to the centre of the room under plastic, removes switch plates and fixtures, and protects floors with paper and drop sheets.

One exception: during solvent-based lacquer application — used on some cabinet work — we ask clients not to be in the home. Most interior condo work uses low- or zero-VOC paint instead. Our guide to staying home during interior painting has the full picture.

Working within your building's rules

Condos come with building rules, and we work within them: elevator and loading-area bookings, permitted work hours, parking and access are planned with you before the start date. If your condo board or property manager needs our details in advance, we can provide our licence, insurance and WCB information with your estimate.

Timing is the other piece of condo logistics. MV Painting typically books projects 2 to 4 weeks ahead, and some jobs can be scheduled within a week — worth knowing if your painting is tied to a move-in date or a listing. We also paint condo common areas as part of our commercial painting work.

Estimates and paint for condos

Every condo project starts with a free written estimate, and there is no minimum project size — a photo or a short video may be enough to price a very small, fully visible project. For larger units, a price from photos is subject to an in-person visit, and if the property matches what the photos showed, the price should not change. Our guide to quoting from photos or a video covers how that works.

Paint and materials are included in the estimate at wholesale cost, with no markup, from the six major brands we work with — Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Cloverdale, Dulux, Behr and PPG — and the brand choice is yours. For condos, the low-VOC and zero-VOC lines in our low-VOC paint options guide are a popular choice: less odour in hallways and shared spaces, and a healthier room to come home to.
