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.

— interior painting, York Region-wide

All nine, one way of working.

the housing changes every few concessions
Mid-region on Yonge Street, with a Victorian downtown, later-century Aurora Highlands & Bayview Wellington, and fresh builds at the edges. There's a dedicated interior painting in Aurora page.
Vaughan · Markham · Richmond Hill
The big southern three — 19th-century cores like Unionville, Thornhill, Kleinburg & Markham Village wrapped in decades of large detached subdivisions, plus condos rising around the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. Everything from heritage cottages to just-closed builds.
Newmarket & the north
Heritage Main Street in Newmarket, King City & Nobleton in King Township, Whitchurch-Stouffville, East Gwillimbury, and Georgina's Keswick & Sutton down by Lake Simcoe — all served from this page.

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.

Not just walls.

including those two-storey foyers

Walls, ceilings & foyers

Full-house repaints including the tall work — two-storey foyers, open stairwells and high great-room walls, properly laddered and staged.

Trim & interior doors

Baseboards, casings, crown and door slabs, brushed or sprayed, with tidy transitions where flooring changed during past renos.

Rails, built-ins & basements

Bannisters and spindles, wall units and closets, plus prime-and-paint on freshly boarded basement drywall.

Century core to new build

Plaster in Unionville, Thornhill and old Newmarket gets patient prep; newer Vaughan and Stouffville drywall gets speed and sharp lines.

Painting in York Region: what's different here

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.

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.

— travel across York Region

One crew for all nine.

we drive up from Mississauga, southwest of York

The whole map, Vaughan to Georgina

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.

No distance surcharge

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.

Big households, no upheaval

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.

A schedule that holds

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.

05
— the York Region playbook

The same five steps, every time.

from a Markham semi to a King City estate

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.

York Region interior painting questions.

straight answers
tap to open each answer

Do you really cover all nine municipalities?

Yes — Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Aurora, Whitchurch-Stouffville, East Gwillimbury, King Township and Georgina. If your town is Aurora, there's a dedicated page with extra local detail.

We're selling — can you repaint before the listing?

Pre-sale repaints are some of our most common York Region work. We prioritize the rooms buyers see first, keep colours neutral and broadly appealing, and hold firmly to your listing date.

Can you paint a two-storey foyer or open stairwell?

Yes — tall foyers and open-to-above family rooms are routine in Markham and Vaughan houses. We bring the proper ladders and staging, and the height is priced into the written quote up front.

Does living far north — say Keswick — change the price?

No. The written figure already covers travel anywhere in York Region, Lake Simcoe included — there is no separate charge for the northern towns, and no adjustment after the fact.

Whose paint do you apply?

Colour Change and Complete work gets Behr Premium Plus or PPG; Premium work gets Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams or Dulux. The full product list sits on the main interior painting page.

Is the company insured?

It is — liability insurance, with a certificate available for you before work begins.

How disruptive is this for a full household?

Less than most families expect. We paint zone by zone, so bedrooms and kitchens stay in service — which matters in the multi-generation households we often work in across York Region.

We list in five weeks. Is a full repaint realistic before photos?

Comfortably, if it starts soon: a typical detached interior runs from several days to a week and a half depending on scope, and the schedule is planned backwards from the shoot with a buffer for curing. Send floor areas and photos now; the quote and the calendar can be locked this week.

What is the right finish for a basement with a tenant or in-laws?

Washable mid-sheen walls, enamelled doors and trim, flat only on the ceiling — and the colour name and code recorded in your file and ours. That combination survives daily life and makes every future touch-up invisible, which matters most in the space that gets the hardest use.

Do you handle condos at VMC and downtown Markham?

Yes — insurance certificates for management, elevator bookings, weekday hours and all. Compact units meet the package minimums quickly, so bundling the whole unit into one visit is usually smarter than painting a room at a time — and the building paperwork only has to be filed once.
