Need painters in Caledonia, Cayuga, Hagersville or Dunnville? Every job is priced from one published rate per sq ft of floor, in writing before work starts. In Caledonia, Hagersville and Cayuga, the smallest job is typically the package start: $700 with Fresh Start for the first 100 sq ft of floor. Dunnville typically has a $1,000 minimum, about 210 sq ft of floor, walls only. Owner-run and liability insured.
Haldimand County follows the Grand River from Caledonia down to Dunnville and Lake Erie. Most of its towns grew up beside the water, and the houses show it.
Caledonia is the busiest end of the county. Its older core sits near the long river bridge, while new subdivisions keep spreading toward Hamilton. Walls in those newer homes are sound drywall, often still in builder paint. A first colour on every wall is the typical request there.
Cayuga, the county seat, holds quieter streets of older family homes. Hagersville and Jarvis serve the farms around them, with wartime houses and a few century homes on wide lots. Many are on their third or fourth repaint, and the trim has lost its crisp edges.
Out on the concession roads stand brick farmhouses that have seen a hundred winters. Their plaster moves, so fine cracks and old patches are common. Rooms like that take the higher rate, and only those rooms.
Along the lake, from Dunnville to Selkirk, some cottages have become year-round homes. A building closed all winter can show water stains or grey mildew spots. Those are checked first and priced as their own item before any paint goes on.
A county job runs as full days, with the materials on site from the first morning.
Haldimand has two minimums, and the line falls between Cayuga and Dunnville. The rate per sq ft never changes. In the northern and central towns, one bedroom on its own is welcome at the package start. Dunnville sits farther from our Mississauga base, so its smallest project is typically $1,000. There, $1,000 of Fresh Start covers about 210 sq ft, walls only. That figure assumes walls in normal condition at the $2.65 rate, before HST. Doors and extras count toward the same amount, so they shrink the area it covers. Treat the town as a guide, because the exact address decides.
Jarvis, Selkirk, Fisherville or a farm lane: send the address, and we confirm its minimum in our first reply.
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 a newer Caledonia two-storey has 1,700 sq ft of painted floor. Fresh Start, walls only in normal condition, comes to $4,940 before HST. Add nine interior doors at $120 each, and the total is $6,020. Both numbers are far above the $700 minimum, so the formula sets the price. If a few walls need extra filling and sanding, those rooms move to the higher rate, shown line by line.

The 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: the river towns, the farm concessions and the Lake Erie shore. A farmhouse past Fisherville is priced on the same rate as a Caledonia townhouse. Only the smallest project depends on where the house sits.
Up the river, see interior painting in Hamilton and Brant County; west along the lake, Norfolk County. For what each package includes, see 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.
The rate per sq ft is the same in both. Only the smallest project differs. In Caledonia, Hagersville and Cayuga it is typically the package start, $700 with Fresh Start for the first 100 sq ft of floor. In Dunnville it is typically $1,000, enough for about 210 sq ft of floor, walls only. A whole-floor job usually passes both.
Yes. Show any stains, damp spots or peeling in your photos. Water stains and peeling are priced as separate items. If a room has a moisture problem, we say so before quoting the paint.
Yes. Plaster with many small cracks takes the higher rate for that room. Large cracks, skim coating or wallpaper under paint are priced in writing, and nothing is added without your approval.
The same business day. With photos and room sizes in hand, a Hagersville written price usually takes 1–2 business days. A visit, if one is needed, is free and commits you to nothing.
Yes. Our standard price already assumes a furnished home with people living in it. Your specification lists the room order and when each room will be out of use, so you can plan meals and sleeping arrangements around the work.
By then, you have your specification, price and warranty terms in writing.
