From Markham and Vaughan to Richmond Hill, Aurora and Newmarket — repaints for large detached homes, two-storey foyers and pre-sale refreshes, with firm per-sq-ft pricing and every promise put in writing.

Nine municipalities, one painting company. IntraBuild serves the whole of York Region — Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill in the south, then Aurora, Newmarket, Whitchurch-Stouffville, East Gwillimbury and King through the middle, with Georgina at the top on Lake Simcoe. Everything we do inside a home is described on our interior painting page; this page is about how that plays out in York.
York's signature job is the large detached family home: four-plus bedrooms, an open two-storey foyer, and often more than one generation under the roof. Add pre-sale repaints timed to listing dates, century-home work in Unionville and Thornhill, estates on King Township acreage and lakeside houses in Keswick, and no two weeks of painting here look alike.
A Unionville century home, a 1990s Richmond Hill two-storey and a brand-new East Gwillimbury build are three different prep jobs. We look at the walls first, then price the work — the house decides the approach, not a template.
Full-house repaints including the tall work — two-storey foyers, open stairwells and high great-room walls, properly laddered and staged.
Baseboards, casings, crown and door slabs, brushed or sprayed, with tidy transitions where flooring changed during past renos.
Bannisters and spindles, wall units and closets, plus prime-and-paint on freshly boarded basement drywall.
Plaster in Unionville, Thornhill and old Newmarket gets patient prep; newer Vaughan and Stouffville drywall gets speed and sharp lines.
York Region treats its houses as investments that happen to be lived in, and the painting follows that logic. Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill hold some of the GTA's largest and most frequently traded housing stock, and a striking share of our work here is transaction-adjacent: whole-interior repaints before listing, buyer repaints in the empty weeks after closing, and refreshes timed to appraisals. These projects run to a listing standard — one bright, continuous neutral through the principal spaces, ceilings genuinely white rather than approximately, trim crisp enough for the photography that sells at this price point — and they run on real-estate deadlines, planned backwards from the shoot or the possession date. (Aurora has its own detailed page, linked below, and Newmarket books through this one.)
Between transactions, the houses themselves set the bar high. The region's signature interiors — double-height foyers, kitchens open to family rooms, wainscoted dining rooms, oak stairs with painted spindles — were built to entertain, and owners maintain them that way: full repaints ahead of weddings and milestone dinners are a genuine local category, complete with a hard date the schedule must respect. The finished basement is the other constant; whether it hosts grandparents, a tenant or a teenager's kingdom, it gets the durable, washable treatment and a recorded colour so the inevitable touch-ups vanish.
The region's new vertical centres — the condo clusters rising at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and downtown Markham — add tower logistics to the mix: elevator bookings, board paperwork, weekday hours, compact units where the minimum project math matters. And through every category, the buying culture is documentary: owners here compare bids seriously, so the transparent posted price structure and a written quote itemized to every room, ceiling, door and stair are not a nicety — they are the entry requirement.
A per-square-foot rate on floor area is the basis of every package price shown here. What each package includes is printed with it; for Complete, doors make the list at 1 per 150 sq ft included. We settle on the final figure during a walkthrough of the home.
You can also book Signature, the spray-finish tier from $9.50 per sq ft quoted by consultation, or Wall Refresh, which starts at $1.75 per sq ft for an unchanged colour.
A free walkthrough, before-HST pricing, and a wooden-windows-only policy round out the details.
Use the ranges to budget, not to book. A two-storey foyer needs staging, a pre-sale refresh may only need walls — the free written quote pins the exact figure before anything is scheduled. Paints are listed in full on our main interior painting page.
From the Mississauga base, the southern cities — Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill — sit about an hour up the highway, with Aurora, Newmarket and the northern townships a little beyond that.
Your written quote already accounts for the drive. Thornhill, Stouffville or a Keswick house near Lake Simcoe — the number you sign is the number you pay.
Plenty of York homes hold three generations. We stage the work so bedrooms stay usable and kitchens keep running — nobody moves out while we paint.
Room order and dates are fixed in advance — useful when a listing date or a family event rides on the repaint — and cleanup happens daily, not at the end.
Whether it's a pre-sale refresh in Markham or a full repaint of a Vaughan two-storey, the sequence never changes: measure and quote in writing; prep — cover, patch, sand, caulk; prime, with tinted primer on Premium so bolder colour covers; paint two coats with sharp ceiling and trim lines, one zone at a time; then walk the house with you and clean up properly. Each stage is explained on our interior painting service page.
The neighbouring markets each carry their own detailed pages — see interior painting in Aurora, Toronto and Durham Region. Packages live on our interior painting page; pre-listing palette strategy is covered in paint colours that sell and rent, and the tower logistics playbook in our guide to condo painting in Toronto.
Pre-sale refresh, foyer repaint or the whole house — anywhere from Vaughan to Georgina, we'll measure, listen and hand you a firm written price. No cost, no obligation.
