Hiring painters in Woodstock, Ingersoll or Tillsonburg? We repaint Oxford County interiors at one published rate per sq ft of floor, before HST. Oxford is farther from our base, so the smallest project is larger. It is typically $1,000 in Woodstock and Ingersoll, about 210 sq ft of floor, walls only. In Tillsonburg it is typically $1,500, about 400 sq ft. The minimum is not a fee on top.
Oxford is a working county, and its houses show it. Woodstock and Ingersoll grew around factories and the 401, and decades of plant jobs filled both towns with family housing. Close to each downtown you find red-brick Victorians and wartime streets. Farther out come compact post-war bungalows and 1.5-storey homes, then newer subdivisions at the edges.
Tillsonburg, to the south, moves at a quieter pace. Its wide Broadway anchors streets of tidy bungalows. Between the towns lies dairy country: Norwich, Tavistock, Embro, Thamesford and farmhouses on every concession.
The post-war homes paint efficiently. Rooms are small, ceilings are low and the original trim takes a fresh coat well after a scuff sanding. Century farmhouses are another story, with old plaster, settling cracks and layers of oil paint on the woodwork. A farm kitchen and back entry also take more wear than most city rooms, so a scrubbable finish makes sense there.
When a house changes hands, the empty days between closing and moving day are the easiest time to paint. No furniture needs moving, and the listing photos can start the quote.
Oxford spans two minimum bands, so one number for the whole county would be wrong. Woodstock and Ingersoll addresses typically start at $1,000. Tillsonburg is farther south and typically starts at $1,500. Your exact figure follows your street address, and our first reply confirms it.
A minimum is not an extra charge. It is the smallest project, and it buys real work. A $1,000 Woodstock job covers about 210 sq ft of floor with Fresh Start, walls only. In Tillsonburg, $1,500 stretches to about 400 sq ft, walls only. Both figures assume walls in normal condition at $2.65 per sq ft, before HST. Doors or other extras leave less area inside the minimum. Any job above the minimum is priced by the published formula alone.
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.
Set your painted floor area, pick a package and add your town for a typical minimum. It runs on the same rates as the cards.
Say you have just bought a post-war bungalow in Woodstock and want every wall in a new colour before the move. The rooms add up to 860 sq ft of floor. Fresh Start covers the walls: $700 for the first 100 sq ft, then 760 sq ft at $2.65, which is $2,014. The total is $2,714 before HST, with walls in normal condition. That is well above the $1,000 Woodstock minimum, so the formula sets the price. The same house in Tillsonburg clears $1,500 too, so it would also be $2,714.

See this example in the calculatorThe rates are ranges, but your written price is one number. It says which rate applies to each room and why.
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.
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.
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 lived-in home, ceilings up to 8 ft, previously painted drywall in normal condition. Colour changes are included when two coats cover.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We cover the whole county, from the three towns to the villages and dairy farms between them. A village or farm address takes the minimum of its own location, so include the address with your photos and we confirm it. The rate per sq ft never changes. Next door, see interior painting in London, Brant County and Elgin County, or the full interior painting page for what each package includes.
Your price per sq ft is the same in every town. Only the smallest project changes, and your written price shows what it covers.
One room may fall under the typical $1,000 Woodstock minimum. In that case you pay $1,000, and Fresh Start then covers about 210 sq ft of floor, walls only. Pairing two rooms often uses the minimum better.
Yes. Tillsonburg addresses typically start at $1,500, which covers about 400 sq ft of floor with Fresh Start, walls only. Above that, the price follows the same rate as in Woodstock, before HST.
That is the easiest time to paint. Send the listing photos and room sizes when you book. We reply the same business day, and a written price usually follows in 1–2 business days.
A scrubbable wall finish that wipes clean after boots and steam, with a durable finish on the trim. The exact product and colour codes go in your written specification before work starts.
No. Distance only sets the smallest project for your address. The rate per sq ft is the same as near our base, and nothing is added for kilometres.
Yes. A visit is free anywhere we work, Signature Finish included, with no obligation. Most Oxford homes can be priced from photos alone, and every job carries a written 2-year workmanship warranty.
By then, you have your specification, price and warranty terms in writing.
