— interior painting cost in Aurora

Interior painting Aurora, priced by the foot.

a small room and a large room, measured the same way

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.

PackageWhat is paintedMaterialsWarrantyPer sq ft of floor area
Fresh StartWalls, two coatsContractor-grade2 years$2.35–2.75
Full RefreshWalls and ceilings, in dedicated ceiling paintMid-grade2 years$3.30–3.70
Complete Home ⭐ most chosenWalls, ceilings, baseboards and window casingsMid-grade2 years$4.60–5.10
Signature FinishAll of the above, with enhanced preparation and high-detail workPremium-grade2 yearsfrom $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.

— what we paint in Aurora

Aurora homes we paint.

a settled community since the late 1700s
Aurora Village & downtown
Victorian-era houses along Yonge Street — plaster walls, narrow trim and rooms never built square. We test, patch and prime before any colour goes on.
Aurora Highlands & Regency Acres
1960s–70s bungalows, split-levels and two-storeys near the Oak Ridges Moraine — refreshing rooms that still carry original trim and ceilings.
South Aurora estates
Aurora Estates & the Hills of St. Andrew — spacious custom homes with high ceilings, detailed trim and open layouts, quoted on their own merits.
Newer subdivisions
Aurora Grove, Bayview Wellington & Bayview Northeast — modern drywall and smoother surfaces that still need proper prep and good paint.
Owner-run
The person who quotes your home is the person who paints it — consistent work, simple communication, start to finish.
Every surface
Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and full rooms — matched to the home in front of us, not a flat rate.

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.

03
— what makes Aurora different

One price list. One standard.

about an hour north up Highway 404

An easy distance to cover

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.

You keep living there

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.

Older homes affect timing

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.

Owner-run, start to finish

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.

Painting in Aurora: what's different here

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.

04
— how an Aurora project works

Five steps. Same on every job.

older homes need more prep — we flag it up front

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.

Aurora painting FAQ.

asked all the time
tap any question to expand

How much does interior painting cost in Aurora?

Aurora homes are priced per square foot of floor area, by package: Fresh Start is $2.35–2.75 for walls in two coats, Full Refresh $3.30–3.70 with the ceilings, and Complete Home $4.60–5.10 with baseboards and window casings as well. Signature Finish — enhanced preparation and premium-grade materials — starts at $5.50 and is quoted individually, so there is no top figure to print; a range that ended in a number would be inventing one. Doors with their frames are counted per door at $150–225, outside every package. The minimum project in Aurora is $1,500. A written quote after a walkthrough gives you the exact number for your home.

Do you charge extra to travel to Aurora?

No. Aurora is about 60 km from our Mississauga base, and the written quote is the full price — no separate travel fee added afterward. The number you approve is the number on the invoice, as long as the house matches what we were shown.

Can you paint my home while I'm living in it?

Yes. Most interior painting in Aurora is done in occupied homes. We move and cover furniture, protect floors, and paint one area at a time so the rest of the house stays usable. Rooms are left clean at the end of each day.

Do you paint older homes in downtown Aurora?

Yes. Century homes in the Aurora Village area often have plaster walls that need patching and priming first. We test and prep these surfaces properly, and we flag the extra time involved in the quote.

How long does an interior painting project take?

It depends on the size of the home and the condition of the surfaces. A few rooms can be finished in a few days, while a whole-home repaint with prep takes longer. A clear schedule is set out up front so you know what to expect.

Are you insured?

Yes. IntraBuild carries liability insurance, and proof can be provided before work begins. You're covered while we're in your home.

What paint do you use?

Paint is specified by grade, not by brand: contractor-grade on Fresh Start, mid-grade on Full Refresh and Complete Home, premium-grade on Signature Finish. Ceilings get dedicated ceiling paint in every case, not wall paint rolled overhead, and the exact product and colour codes go on the written specification before work starts.

The rooms in my Aurora Village house aren't square and the plaster is wavy. Will that show?

It shows less after a skim coat, which is what we recommend for tired plaster: thin coats of compound over the whole wall, sanded to a flat surface, then primed. Corners that are out of square stay that way — no paint fixes geometry — but a matte or eggshell finish in a warm neutral makes them read as character rather than as a flaw.

My open-plan main floor has several colours meeting at outside corners. How do you keep the lines clean?

By deciding the break points with you first — usually at an outside corner, a bulkhead edge or a change in ceiling height — then masking each transition, painting the lighter colour first and cutting the darker one to it. It is slower than one colour throughout, and the quote shows it, but it is the difference between a designed palette and a blurred one.

Do you take on a whole-house repaint after we've bought a home in Aurora?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs here. The best version is done between closing and moving in, while the house is empty: ceilings, walls, trim and doors in a single sequence over several days. If the move cannot wait, the work is planned floor by floor so bedrooms are ready first.
