Need painters in Barrie for walls, ceilings or trim? We work in homes from new Mapleview two-storeys to older houses near Kempenfelt Bay. Barrie addresses typically get the same package start as our home base: $700 for the first 100 sq ft of floor. After that, the published rate applies, and the price is in writing before work begins.
Barrie grew fast, and most of its homes show it. The south end, from Painswick, Holly and Ardagh to the streets around Mapleview, is mostly two-storey family houses from the last few decades. Many still have the flat builder paint they came with. It scuffs easily and does not wash well. A first proper repaint swaps it for a washable finish in colours the family picked.
These houses share one feature. The front entry often opens to a staircase that climbs a wall two storeys high. It is the first thing a visitor sees, and it needs proper staging rather than a ladder balanced on the steps. Stairwells are extra work, so that wall is priced in writing before you agree.
The older city sits closer to the water. Allandale and the streets around the downtown have century houses and pre-1960 homes. Expect plaster walls, deeper trim and many old layers of paint. Letitia Heights and the East End have bungalows and split-levels, often with dated colours and textured ceilings.
Near Georgian College, many houses are rentals. Landlords there usually want a durable, washable wall colour that is easy to touch up between tenants.
Barrie typically gets the same start as the GTA. The package start is the smallest job, and it already includes the first 100 sq ft of floor. So a single bedroom or a hallway is welcome here. Barrie addresses typically sit at the lowest minimum on our map, and there is no distance charge on top. Your written price confirms it for your street, and doors and extras count toward it. Bigger jobs simply follow the formula from the first square foot past 100.
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 south-end two-storey with 2,400 sq ft of painted floor. The owners want every wall repainted in Fresh Start, and the drywall is in normal condition. The $700 start covers the first 100 sq ft. The other 2,300 sq ft are $2.65 each, which adds $6,095. That gives a subtotal of $6,795 before HST, before any agreed extras. The tall stairwell wall is extra work and would be its own line in the written price.
HST 13% $883 · with HST $7,678 · walls in normal condition
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.
Our painting services in Barrie cover the whole city, north and south of the bay. Townhouses and condo units are welcome too. If you live just outside the city limits, send your address and the written price will confirm the minimum.
The rest of the county is on our Simcoe County page. Closer to the GTA, see Aurora and York Region, or read the full package details on our 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.
The rates match every other town we work in, and Barrie addresses typically get the lowest minimum. Fresh Start starts at $700, Full Refresh at $800 and Complete Home at $970, each covering the first 100 sq ft of floor. After that, rates run $2.65 to $4.70 per sq ft, before HST.
Yes. Send photos and room sizes as soon as you know the move-out date. You get a written price, usually in 1–2 business days, and a schedule in writing.
Yes, as long as the rooms are heated and ventilated. Indoor heat helps the coats dry evenly. Work moves room by room, so the rest of the house stays in use.
No, but it changes the prep. Small fills and light sanding are included. Large cracks or skim coating are separate items, named in your written price before anything starts.
Yes. We carry liability insurance on every job, and our workmanship on your home is covered by a written 2-year warranty. Its limits are listed in your specification before work begins.
By then, you have your specification, price and warranty terms in writing.
