Walls
- Walls, two finish coats
- Standard preparation
- Professional-grade paint
Much of Milton's housing is young, and many homes are ready for their first real repaint. IntraBuild works as painters in Milton from its Mississauga base, using the same published rates as everywhere else. Walls start at $700 for the first 100 sq ft of floor, and that is the typical smallest project in Milton. You only pay for the rooms you paint. Before HST.
Milton grew fast, and much of the town is newer subdivision housing in Hawthorne Village, Clarke, Coates, Willmott and Ford. In many of these homes the builder left one thin coat of flat paint. A few years of family life later, the hallway is scuffed, the stair wall shows fingerprints and the paint will not wipe clean.
That first repaint is mostly about prep, not repair. Walls get washed where needed. Nail pops and small settling cracks are filled and sanded, which comes with every package. Then two finish coats go on. A washable finish makes sense where hands land: hallways, stair walls, kids' rooms and the hall from the garage.
Two features of Milton floor plans affect the price. Many main floors have 9 ft ceilings, and great rooms often open to the second floor. Height and stairwells are priced in writing before you agree. Light is the other factor. Big windows facing open fields can let in strong sun, which shows roller marks on large walls. Those walls get a careful final coat.
Older Milton is different again. Century homes along Main Street have plaster and deep trim. Timberlea and Bronte Meadows, from the seventies and eighties, carry many layers of paint. The higher rate applies only to rooms that need the extra prep.
In Milton the typical smallest project is the package start. A walls-only job begins at $700, a job with ceilings at $800 and a full interior at $970. Each start already includes 100 sq ft of floor, so one bedroom is a complete booking. Beyond that you pay the published rate, which does not change between towns. No Milton job carries a distance charge. Because minimums attach to the exact address, your written price shows the one that applies.
Residential painting, priced by the size of the rooms. The three standard packages get the same preparation, protection, cleanup and warranty; the difference is which surfaces are included. Signature Finish adds enhanced prep and premium coatings. Move the slider to see the total for your floor area.
Set your painted floor area, pick a package and add your town for a typical minimum. It runs on the same rates as the cards.
You pay for the rooms you paint, not the size of the house. Say you want the second floor of a Milton two-storey done: four bedrooms and the hall, 1,000 sq ft of floor, plus five doors. Full Refresh covers walls and ceilings. The $800 start includes the first 100 sq ft. The other 900 sq ft at $3.45 add $3,105. Five doors at $120 add $600. The total is $4,505 before HST, with 8 ft ceilings and walls in normal condition.

The rates are ranges, but your written price is one number. It says which rate applies to each room and why.
You choose the colours and give us the codes. The exact product is named in your specification, so you can look it up before we start.
We use the finished floor area of the rooms we paint. Paint rooms totalling 900 sq ft in a 2,500 sq ft home and the price uses 900.
Doors and extras count toward the total. If that total comes in below the minimum for your address, you pay the minimum, and your written price lists exactly what it covers.
A lived-in home, ceilings up to 8 ft, previously painted drywall in normal condition. Colour changes are included when two coats cover.
Most homes can be priced from photos alone. If something in them is unclear, we ask before we put a number on paper. A written price keeps both sides on the same page.
That can be a fair quote. To compare like for like, check what each one includes: how many coats, whether ceilings are in, what prep is listed, and whether the warranty is in writing.
A price over the phone would be a guess. Photos show the state of your walls, and that decides which rate applies to each room.
Getting set up, protecting the floors and cleaning up take nearly as long for one small room as for a bigger job. The start price covers that, so a small job gets the same care. Every sq ft beyond the start is charged at the published rate.
Start with the walls. Fresh Start paints walls only. Ceilings and trim can follow later as a separate job, priced in writing, though doing them together usually costs less.
We cover the whole town, from the old core around Main Street to the newest streets in the south and west. Rural addresses toward the escarpment are included too. A semi in Dempsey and a farmhouse near Campbellville are priced from the same rate card.
Next door, see painters in Oakville or Brampton, or the wider Halton Region page. What each package covers is listed on our interior painting page.
Your price per sq ft is the same in every town. Only the smallest project changes, and your written price shows what it covers.
Yes. Most Milton repaints happen with the family living in the home. Your specification lists the room order by day, so you know which rooms are out of use. Light furniture is moved and covered, and we clean up daily.
We agree the setup, whether a ladder system, platform or scaffold, to suit the space in your home. The wall is cut in at the ceiling and rolled in continuous passes to avoid lap marks. Height above 8 ft is priced in writing before you agree.
Yes. Nail pops, holes and small dents are filled and sanded in every package. Larger cracks or drywall repairs are separate items, priced in writing before work begins, so nothing is added later.
Anywhere hands and traffic gather: hallways, stair walls, kids' rooms, the mudroom and the kitchen. Ceilings and quiet rooms can keep a flat finish. Each room's finish is listed in your specification, with any product difference priced there.
Yes. Plaster walls and deep trim take more prep than new drywall. The higher rate covers that, room by room. Larger plaster repairs or skim coating are separate items, each priced once in writing.
By then, you have your specification, price and warranty terms in writing.
