Brantford and Paris homes, repainted at a rate you can check before you call. As painters for Brantford and the county around it, we price by the floor area of the rooms you choose. Both towns typically sit at our base minimum, so one room is a real booking. Walls start at $700 for the first 100 sq ft, before HST.
Brant County is a loop of river towns and farm villages around the city of Brantford. Brantford runs as a separate city, but for a homeowner the line hardly matters. Its older wards hold brick Victorians with tall baseboards, panel doors and plaster that has settled over a century. The Laurier Brantford campus keeps plenty of rental houses near downtown, and many change tenants often.
Paris sits where the Nith River meets the Grand. The town is known for its cobblestone buildings, a busy main street and character homes on the hill. Newer crescents now fill the edges of Paris and of Brantford, and those houses are plain drywall in builder white. St. George, Burford and the farm roads add village homes and farmhouses. Many were built in stages, so ceilings change height from room to room.
That mix shapes the work. Old trim may carry many coats and needs careful sanding before fresh paint. A rental near campus needs a washable wall finish that survives a year of tenants. A new build mostly needs nail pops filled and its first real colour.
Your written specification spells out which of these your house needs, room by room. You can see what each part of the price covers before anyone opens a can.
Brantford and Paris are close to our base, so no higher minimum typically applies there. The smallest job is the package start: $700 for Fresh Start, $800 for Full Refresh or $970 for Complete Home. Each start already includes 100 sq ft of floor, and Complete Home includes one door as well. Past that, every sq ft is billed at the rate printed on the package card. That rate is identical across all 29 areas we serve, and we add nothing for the kilometres. For a farm address farther out, send the address with your photos: the smallest project follows the exact address, and our first reply confirms it.
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.
Picture a 1.5-storey brick house in one of Brantford's older wards. The owners want the whole interior done: 1,180 sq ft of floor, with walls, ceilings, baseboards and casings, plus nine interior doors. Complete Home starts at $970, which includes 100 sq ft and the first door. The other 1,080 sq ft at $4.10 add $4,428. Eight extra doors at $120 add $960. With walls in normal condition, the total is $6,358 before HST. Rooms with many cracks would take the higher rate, and loose plaster would be its own written item.

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.
The whole county is on our map, along with the city of Brantford. In the city that covers the older wards, the student streets near downtown and the newer subdivisions. In Paris it covers the hill and the riverside. Beyond them come the villages and the concession roads. The rate card and the written specification are the same wherever the house stands. Nearby, we also paint in Hamilton, Waterloo Region and Norfolk County; package details are on the main interior painting page.
Your price per sq ft is the same in every town. Only the smallest project changes, and your written price shows what it covers.
A 12×12 bedroom has 144 sq ft of floor. Walls only, in normal condition, come to $817 before HST: the $700 start plus 44 sq ft at $2.65. With ceilings (Full Refresh) the same room is $952, and a door adds $120.
Yes. Character homes in Paris often have plaster and trim with many layers of paint. Normal prep comes with every package. Heavy plaster repair or stripping old trim is priced separately, in writing, before any work starts.
Yes. Send photos of each room, the room sizes and the move-out date. We reply the same business day, and the written price usually follows within 1–2 business days, so you can lock in dates early.
No. The rate per sq ft of floor is the same as near our base, and there is no charge for distance. In Brantford and Paris the smallest project is typically the regular package start.
If the photos leave questions, yes. The visit is free, Signature Finish included, and you are under no obligation to book. You also get a written 2-year workmanship warranty, and we carry liability insurance.
By then, you have your specification, price and warranty terms in writing.
