What happens next
From your range to a written quote
The first three steps, the same on every job.
Get your price range
Use the estimator for a range in about a minute, or text us photos. A named person replies within 1 business hour.
A crew lead looks it over
Your photos and sizes checked, along with every surface and its repairs. We come to see the job when photos aren't enough, when it's a big one, or once you're going ahead.
Written, itemized quote
Delivered within 24 hours of seeing the job, priced on your sizes: the scope, the prep, the paint named by brand and line, the price plus HST, the dates, and any surface the warranty can't cover.
Pricing
How your price is set
Every mandatory fee is in the range
Published prices include every mandatory fee, travel included.
Priced on the size of the job
Your quote is priced on the sizes you give us. If the crew finds the job bigger or smaller, the price changes to match, and you see it before any work starts.
Itemized and in writing
Your quote arrives within 24 hours of seeing the job: the scope, the prep, the paint by brand and line, the price plus HST, and the dates.
The paint is named, not just “premium”
The brand and line of every paint go in your quote, so you know exactly what goes on your walls.
20% books your dates
The rest is due an hour before the job is finished.
Small jobs are priced up front too
The minimum job is $750 + HST (one crew-day), stated before you book anything.
What should a painting quote include?
Ask for each of these in writing, from any painter you're comparing.
- The scope, room by room and surface by surface
- The prep: cleaning, patching, sanding and priming
- The paint brand and product line
- The number of coats
- The price, with HST shown separately
- Start and finish dates
- The deposit, the payment schedule and your cancellation rights
- A written workmanship warranty
- A WSIB clearance certificate and a certificate of insurance
Questions
Questions GTA homeowners ask
Is the online estimate a quote?
No. It is a ballpark range from our published prices, before HST. Your written, itemized quote sets the price, based on the size of the job.
Do I need to give my contact details to see a price range?
No. The estimator shows your range first. You add your details only if you want the range emailed to you, or a written quote.
How do I send you photos of the job?
Text them to 437-375-8622 or email them to info@greatnorthpainting.com, with your reference number if the estimator gave you one. A crew lead quotes from them, and they show whether the job needs a visit. Wide shots of each room or wall, plus close-ups of any damage, help the most.
Why is my estimate a range and not a single price?
A job's size, its condition and the colour change move it within its published range. Your photos and sizes show all three, and your written quote then gives one price.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. The range from our estimator, your written quote and any visit to see the job are all free. Your itemized quote arrives within 24 hours of seeing the job.
What do you do with my contact details?
We use them only to reply about your request. You get marketing email only if you tick the box for it, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
