Hiring painters in Orangeville or elsewhere in Dufferin County? We paint homes from Broadway's older streets to Shelburne's new subdivisions and the farmhouses between them. Orangeville and Shelburne typically start at the package price, so $700 covers the first 100 sq ft of floor. Every price is worked out from the rooms you want painted and given to you in writing.
Dufferin is Headwaters country. Several rivers rise in these hills, and the housing is as mixed as the land. A painter here can see three kinds of house in one week.
Orangeville, the county seat, keeps red-brick Victorians and older family homes near Broadway. Inside, many still have plaster walls and wide trim under years of paint. Further out, the survey streets from the 1980s and 1990s are full of two-storeys and backsplits. Many are due for a full repaint, and their trim is often the most worn surface in the house.
Shelburne has grown quickly in recent years. Many buyers there move into new builds and want real colour from the start. Their walls are sound drywall, so the job is mostly colour, two good coats and clean cut lines.
Beyond the towns, Mono, Mulmur, Amaranth and Melancthon hold farmhouses and bungalows on acreage. A farmhouse often has a plaster parlour, a 1970s kitchen addition and a newer mudroom under one roof. Each part needs its own prep, but one wall colour and one trim white can tie them together. Older rural homes heated with wood also get very dry in winter. Caulk lines at the trim can open up, so gaps are filled and caulked before the finish coats.
If you commute down Highway 10 each day, the timing still works. Your written schedule names the rooms for each workday, so you can plan around them.
Both towns typically sit at the lowest minimum on our map. That means the package start is the smallest job: $700 for walls, $800 with ceilings, $970 for a full room with trim and one door. One bedroom or a hallway is enough to book. On a rural sideroad, the minimum follows your exact address. Farm addresses north of Shelburne are a longer drive from our base. Your written price confirms the minimum before you agree. Doors and extras count toward it. Above it, the formula sets the price at the same rate per sq ft as in Brampton or Guelph.
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.
Take a 1990s Orangeville two-storey with 1,350 sq ft of painted floor. The owners choose Complete Home: walls, ceilings, baseboards, casings and nine interior doors. The walls are in normal condition. The $970 package start pays for 100 sq ft and the first door. The other 1,250 sq ft are $4.10 each, which adds $5,125. Eight extra doors at $120 add $960. The total is $7,055 before HST. Rooms with many cracks or old patches would take the higher rate, but only in those rooms.

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 paint interiors in both towns and out on the concessions. If your driveway is off a gravel road, that is fine. Send the address with your photos. A clear set of room photos and sizes prices most Dufferin homes. Should a visit be needed, there is no charge for it and no commitment to book.

Your price per sq ft is the same in every town. Only the smallest project changes, and your written price shows what it covers.
We do. Your price uses the floor area of the rooms you want painted, at a published rate. You can check the numbers with a tape measure before you pay a deposit.
Yes. Shelburne typically has the same $700 start as Orangeville. New builds there usually need colour and two coats rather than heavy prep, so they often sit at the low end of the range.
Not on its own. Smoke stains can bleed through normal paint. The ceiling is washed and sealed with a stain-blocking primer first. That primer is a separate line in your written price.
No. We work one area at a time, cover floors and furniture, and clean up every day. A furnished, lived-in house is what the standard price is built on.
The rate per square foot is the same everywhere, and there is no distance charge. The address affects only the smallest project, and your written price shows it.
By then, you have your specification, price and warranty terms in writing.
