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.

Interior painting in Milton's newer homes

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.

The smallest project in Milton

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.

What each package includes

Interior painting packages. Three published rates, one custom finish.

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.

What it costs

Painting just the upstairs of a Milton home

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.

How the rate card works for every package →

What changes the price

The rates are ranges, but your written price is one number. It says which rate applies to each room and why.

  • Wall conditionWalls in normal shape take the low rate. Rooms with many small cracks, patches or marks take the higher one, which pays for more filling, sanding and spot priming than standard prep includes. The higher rate applies only to those rooms.
  • Ceilings over 8 ftMore height means more paint and more ladder time. That extra is added on top of the standard rate, in writing before you agree.
  • Strong colour changesDark to light can need a full primer coat first. That coat is its own line in the written price.
  • Bigger repairsSmall fixes are part of every package. Water stains, large cracks and skim coating are separate items. Each repair appears once in your price, so nothing is paid for twice.
  • Lived-in or emptyNo difference to the rate. Our standard already assumes a furnished home with people living in it.

In every package

What's included in every interior painting job.

Included

    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.

    Priced on floor area, not wall area

    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.

    Package start + rate × floor area beyond 100 sq ft + extra doors + other extras = your price before HST

    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 standard project

    A lived-in home, ceilings up to 8 ft, previously painted drywall in normal condition. Colour changes are included when two coats cover.

    How an interior painting job runs

    1. PlanYour specification lists which rooms we work in on which days, so you know what is out of use and when.
    2. ProtectFloors are covered, light furniture is moved and covered, and fixtures and surfaces next to the work are masked.
    3. PrepareNail holes and small dents are filled, then light sanding, caulking and spot priming where needed.
    4. PaintEvery surface in your package gets its finish coats.
    5. CleanDaily cleanup while we work, and a full cleanup on the last day.
    6. Hand overLeftover paint is labelled with the colour code for touch-ups, and your warranty starts.
    How we quote

    A written price works both ways.

    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.

    What we promise you

    • If we uncover something the photos did not show, such as water damage, large cracks or wallpaper under paint, we stop at that spot.
    • We price that item in writing and do it only after your yes. The rest of your price does not change.
    • Small fills, light sanding and standard caulking are part of every price.
    • Additional work (major repairs, closets, high ceilings, stairwells, specialty finishes) is identified and priced in writing before work begins. Nothing is added without your approval.
    • Kitchen cabinets are not included, and we paint wooden windows only.
    • A 25% deposit on signing books your dates, and the quote stays valid for 30 days. The balance is due on completion; projects over $5,000 are paid in stages agreed in writing.

    What we ask of you

    • Clear photos of every room in the job, and an accurate floor area.
    • If the rooms or the area differ from the photos, the price follows the same published rate, up or down. You see the change in writing before we continue.
    • Tell us about known problems, like water stains, peeling or past repairs, so they are priced from day one.

    Fair questions before you hire a painter

    “Someone else quoted less.”

    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.

    “Why not just give me a price on the phone?”

    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.

    “Why is there a start price for small jobs?”

    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.

    “My budget is tight.”

    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.

    Common questions

    Questions from Milton.

    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.

    Before you pay

    What you can check before you pay a deposit.
