Interior painting Aurora homeowners trust — clean, careful work for everything from century houses downtown to newer builds out east. Owner-run, with a written quote and a clear schedule set out up front. Interior painting in Aurora starts at $2.35 per square foot of floor area for walls; the smallest project is $1,500, before HST.

The rate card below is the whole of it: four packages, one published rate each, quoted per square foot of floor area rather than wall area.
| Package | What is painted | Materials | Warranty | Per sq ft of floor area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh Start | Walls, two coats | Contractor-grade | 2 years | $2.35–2.75 |
| Full Refresh | Walls and ceilings, in dedicated ceiling paint | Mid-grade | 2 years | $3.30–3.70 |
| Complete Home ⭐ most chosen | Walls, ceilings, baseboards and window casings | Mid-grade | 2 years | $4.60–5.10 |
| Signature Finish | All of the above, with enhanced preparation and high-detail work | Premium-grade | 2 years | from $5.50 |
Lower end: vacant home, standard 8' ceilings, light/similar colours, normal condition. Upper end: occupied home, 9'+ ceilings, stronger colour changes, additional cutting/preparation.
Doors with frames, both sides — $150–225 each, any package. Doors sit outside all four packages and are counted per door, because a house with fifteen of them is a different job from a house with five.
2-year workmanship warranty on every package — the same two years whether you book walls only or the whole interior. Materials are specified by grade rather than by brand; the exact product and the colour codes go on the written specification before anyone opens a can.
Minimum project in Aurora: $1,500. There is no travel line on the invoice and there never will be: the rates above are the same everywhere we work, and the minimum is the one thing distance changes.
Aurora mixes a small historic core with a great deal of newer family housing, and the two need different things. The older houses on and around Yonge bring trim worth taking care over and walls that have moved; the newer subdivisions bring height — 9' and 10' main floors, open stairwells and the two-storey family room. Height does not add floor area, which is exactly why it moves a job up its range.
Every project is owner-run from start to finish: the person who quotes your home is responsible for it, with no subcontractor hand-offs.
IntraBuild handles interior painting in Aurora for homeowners who want the job done once and done right. We work out of Mississauga and cover Aurora along with the rest of York Region. Every project is owner-run from start to finish — the person who quotes your home is responsible for it, with no subcontractor hand-offs. You always know who is in your house and what's happening that day.
Aurora has a wide range of housing, and old plaster walls downtown need different prep than builder-grade drywall in a newer subdivision. This page covers how we work locally, what an interior painter in Aurora costs, and what to expect step by step. For the full breakdown of paints, prep and warranty terms, see our interior painting service page.
Old plaster cracks, soaks up paint unevenly, and often hides past repairs under layers of older coats. Interior painting in Aurora Highlands and downtown alike starts with proper prep — we adjust the approach to the house, not the other way around.
Aurora sits about 65 km north of our Mississauga base — close to an hour up Highway 404 or Yonge Street. The written quote is the full price, no separate travel fee added afterward. You see one number, and that number stands.
Most of our Aurora painting happens in occupied homes. Furniture is moved and covered, floors are protected, and rooms are handed back clean at the end of each day. We paint one area at a time — and plan the order around kids, pets or a work-from-home setup.
Repairing plaster and trim on a century home takes longer than rolling fresh drywall in a newer subdivision. We flag that in the quote, so there are no surprises — and if anything shifts, you hear about it the same day.
Every project is owner-run, so the standard stays consistent and communication stays simple. You always know who's in your house and what's happening that day.
Aurora is a town with an old centre and new edges, and Wellington Street is roughly the line between them. Around the Yonge and Wellington core — the streets of Aurora Village and the older blocks near the GO station — the houses are Victorian and Edwardian: front parlours with high ceilings, plaster on lath, transom windows, staircases with turned spindles, and woodwork that has been painted, stripped and painted again over a hundred years. A skim coat brings a wavy plaster wall back to a surface that takes paint evenly; trim gets filled and sanded until the profile reads again; and colour is chosen against the north light that most of these rooms receive, which flattens cool greys and rewards warmer whites.
North of Wellington and east toward Bayview, the story is subdivisions from the 1990s onward — Bayview Wellington, Bayview Northeast, the newer streets toward St. John's Sideroad. Those homes have drywall in good condition, nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, open-plan great rooms and the tall upper hallway wall over the stairs that every builder of that era included. The first repaint is usually a change from the original builder white to a real palette, and the work is straightforward: a proper primer where colours change sharply, careful cut lines in the open plan where three or four colours meet at corners, and a platform for the stairwell.
The south and west — Aurora Highlands, Regency Acres and the estate lots toward the Oak Ridges Moraine — sit in between: 1960s and 1970s split-levels and bungalows with original oil-painted trim, and larger custom homes with vaulted ceilings and feature walls of stone or brick that the paint has to meet cleanly. Many are whole-house repaints after a purchase, planned over several days.
What is consistent across the town is that people are home. Aurora repaints happen around families, so the order of rooms, the daily clean-up and the days the painter is in the house are agreed in writing before the first drop sheet, and the person who quoted it carries the job from the first wall to the last.
Every Aurora project follows the same five steps: a quote and walkthrough with a written price and scope, scheduling with a clear start window, prep (furniture moved and covered, surfaces cleaned, sanded, patched and primed), painting — two coats as standard in the agreed order — and a final check where we touch up anything that needs it and leave the rooms clean. The job is done when you're happy with it. Each stage is explained in detail on our interior painting service page.
The same tiers and per-square-foot pricing cover the neighbouring towns across York Region — Newmarket, Richmond Hill, King — and reach north to Simcoe County and Barrie. The tiers and paint brands are on our interior painting page; to plan the days, see how long interior painting takes, and for the palette, paint colours that sell and rent in the GTA.
