— Hastings County rates, straight up

Straight square-foot pricing for Hastings.

three tiers, one measuring tape

Four packages, published rates, each against floor area. Belleville, Bancroft and the long stretch of county between them work from the same card.

PackageWhat is paintedMaterialsWarrantyPer sq ft of floor area
Fresh StartWalls, two coatsContractor-grade2 years$2.35–2.75
Full RefreshWalls and ceilings, in dedicated ceiling paintMid-grade2 years$3.30–3.70
Complete Home ⭐ most chosenWalls, ceilings, baseboards and window casingsMid-grade2 years$4.60–5.10
Signature FinishAll of the above, with enhanced preparation and high-detail workPremium-grade2 yearsfrom $5.50

Lower end: vacant home, standard 8' ceilings, light/similar colours, normal condition. Upper end: occupied home, 9'+ ceilings, stronger colour changes, additional cutting/preparation.

Doors with frames, both sides — $150–225 each, any package. Doors sit outside all four packages and are counted per door, because a house with fifteen of them is a different job from a house with five.

2-year workmanship warranty on every package — the same two years whether you book walls only or the whole interior. Materials are specified by grade rather than by brand; the exact product and the colour codes go on the written specification before anyone opens a can.

Projects from $4,000 minimum. Your exact minimum depends on the project location within the region. There is no travel line on the invoice and there never will be: the rates above are the same everywhere we work, and the minimum is the one thing distance changes.

Hastings runs a long way north, and the housing changes completely as it goes: town stock around Belleville, then lake and cottage property, then genuinely rural houses heated by wood with ceilings to match. Different houses, different deadlines, one standard. A good share of the work is a house painted empty, in the gap between closing and the furniture arriving.

This is the far end of where we go, so the whole job is scoped and scheduled in one piece before the van is loaded.

Hastings County runs on deadlines, and our interior painting here is built around them. Military families cycling through CFB Trenton need houses repainted between possession day and the moving truck; landlords in Belleville and Quinte West flip units between tenants; sellers want century homes neutralized before listing photos. IntraBuild handles all of it — plus the slower, careful jobs — with every price in writing. Full service details sit on our interior painting page; the Hastings specifics are below.

Geographically it's two counties in one: the Quinte shore in the south, with Belleville's tree-lined century streets and Trenton's base-driven housing market, then a long climb north through Madoc, Tweed and Marmora into Shield country, where Bancroft serves the cottage lakes. Different houses, different deadlines — one standard.

— painting the length of Hastings County

Base towns south, lakes north.

one county, two housing markets
Quinte country
Belleville and Quinte West — Trenton, Frankford & Batawa — anchor the south, where CFB Trenton keeps move-in repaints constant and the older streets carry solid century brick; Deseronto rounds out the Bay of Quinte shoreline.
Bancroft & the north
Bancroft, long billed as Canada's mineral capital, is cottage country's main street; Hastings Highlands, Maynooth and the lake townships hold camps, cottages and year-round rural homes painted around seasons, not schedules.
The villages between
Madoc, Stirling, Tweed & Marmora — main-street Ontario with genuine old housing stock — plus the farm townships linking Quinte to the Shield. Every one of them is handled from this page.

A posting-season repaint is its own sport: fixed possession date, empty house, everything at once. We quote those fast, paint whole interiors in a single pass, and hit the date — while a Madoc century home still gets the slow, careful prep its plaster walls demand.

03
— what we paint across Hastings

The whole interior, covered.

from base housing to Bancroft cottages

Whole-house repaints

The bread and butter of moving season — every wall and ceiling in an empty house, sprayed or rolled fast without cutting corners on prep.

Trim, doors & railings

Hand-cut enamel on baseboards, casings and stair parts — Belleville's older homes keep their deep trim looking sharp instead of gummed under another thick coat.

Century-home surfaces

Plaster crack repair, stain blocking, and paint systems that flex with hundred-year-old walls in Madoc, Stirling, Tweed and Marmora.

Cottages & rentals

Interior refreshes for Bancroft-area cottages and Quinte rental units — scrubbable finishes, quick turnarounds, done between guests or tenants.

Painting in Hastings County: what's different here

Hastings paints to a military tempo. CFB Trenton next door makes the Quinte area one of Ontario's most relocation-driven housing markets: service families arrive and depart on posting cycles, houses change hands on tight possession timelines, and a large rental stock exists specifically to receive the next posting. For a painting schedule this creates a rhythm no other county has — compressed, deadline-locked whole-house repaints in the window between one family's departure and the next one's arrival, quoted from photos while the client is still at the old posting, and executed in an empty house against a firm move-in date. We run these like logistics: scope locked in advance, materials complete on day one, the finish date written into the quote because someone's furniture truck is already booked.

Landlords serving the base learn the standardization gospel quickly — one recorded colour and sheen across every unit, washable walls, enamelled doors — because their tenants turn over more predictably than anyone's. And the families who buy rather than rent often paint twice in a posting: once on arrival to make the house theirs, once before departure because a fresh, neutral interior sells or re-rents faster in a market where every buyer knows the calendar too.

Around the base economy, Hastings keeps an older, quieter Ontario. Belleville's East Hill and the county's town cores hold a deep stock of genuinely affordable century homes — brick Victorians with plaster, generous trim and prices that draw first-time owners and retirees from far pricier markets — and those interiors take the familiar patient path of repairs, prep and thin-coat enamel. North of the 401 the county stretches into farm and lake country toward Bancroft, where farmhouses and waterside places follow rural planning: consecutive full days, everything on the first trip. Every version of Hastings buys with the same paper — a transparent posted price structure and a written quote itemized to each room — which is exactly what a family planning from three provinces away needs most.

— covering Hastings County, south to north

Long county, zero hassle.

Quinte shore to Bancroft, all within 300 km of base

From the 401 to Highway 62

Belleville and Trenton are a clean run east of our Mississauga base; Bancroft rides Highway 62 north. Both ends of the county book into the same efficient route plan.

The quote is the whole cost

No mileage math, ever — a cottage north of Bancroft and a bungalow in Belleville pay the same published rates, travel already inside the figure.

Occupied or empty, we adapt

Empty posting-season houses get painted wall to wall at speed; occupied homes get the room-at-a-time treatment with floors and furniture protected.

Deadlines are the job

Possession dates, tenant move-ins, listing photos — tell us the date that matters and the schedule is built backward from it, cleanup included.

05
— how Hastings County jobs run

Five moves, no surprises.

same playbook in Belleville or Bancroft

Every job here runs the same play. Walk through, measure, hand you a written price. Prep the space — furniture covered or the empty house masked, holes filled, sanding and caulking done. Prime where it counts, tinted when the colour swings hard. Roll two coats, area by area, with sharp lines at trim and ceilings. Then walk it with you and clean up properly. The long-form version lives on our interior painting service page.

— quick answers for Hastings

Hastings County painting questions.

asked weekly
expand whichever applies to you

Do you cover Belleville, Trenton and Bancroft alike?

Yes — the Quinte cities of Belleville and Quinte West, the villages of Madoc, Stirling, Tweed, Marmora and Deseronto, and the north through Bancroft and Hastings Highlands are all served from this one page.

We're being posted to CFB Trenton — can you paint before we move in?

That's one of our most common Hastings jobs. Give us the possession date and the key-handover date, and we'll quote fast and finish the interior inside that window, ready for the truck.

Do you paint around a family still living in the house?

All the time. One room gets sealed, painted and handed back before the next one starts, so daily life keeps running around the work.

Are century homes in Madoc or Stirling a problem?

No — they're a specialty. Old plaster, layered trim and the odd surprise behind wallpaper all get priced into the quote up front, not discovered on day three.

Which brands do you spray and roll?

Paint is specified by grade, not by brand: contractor-grade on Fresh Start, mid-grade on Full Refresh and Complete Home, premium-grade on Signature Finish. Ceilings get dedicated ceiling paint in every case, not wall paint rolled overhead, and the exact product and colour codes go on the written specification before work starts.

Is your insurance current?

Yes — liability insurance is active, and we'll send proof before the job starts if you'd like it on file.

How fast can a full house be done?

An empty house moves quickest — often a matter of days. Furnished homes take longer, room by room. Either way you get the dates in writing before we begin.

We are posted to Trenton this summer and take possession in July. How does painting work from a distance?

From photos and the floor plan: send the listing, pick colours remotely with our guidance, and the quote and schedule are locked before you arrive. The house is painted empty, in the gap between closing and your furniture, so you move into finished rooms rather than a project.

What should a rental near the base be painted with?

One recorded neutral in a washable mid-sheen, enamel on doors and frames, flat ceilings — the combination that survives frequent turnovers and touches up invisibly. Predictable postings mean predictable wear; the standard palette is what turns each changeover into a one-day refresh.

Is an East Hill century home a bigger painting project than a newer house?

Usually, and it is worth it: plaster gets checked and skimmed where tired, layered trim gets scuffed and bonded before enamel, and the generous rooms reward a carefully tested palette. Budget more days than square footage alone suggests, and phase the house if the budget prefers.
