Local notes
What should you know about painting a home in Etobicoke?
The lakeshore communities of Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch were the first parts of Etobicoke to urbanize, and the Kingsway took shape from the 1920s with English-style houses, often with local sandstone. From 1951 to 1961, the population grew from about 54,000 to 156,000, and in the post-war decades bungalows and other single-family houses filled most of the farmland. More recently, condo towers have gone up in south Etobicoke near the Humber River and around Islington.
Kingsway stucco and timber
Many Kingsway houses have Tudor-style gables with half-timbering and stucco between the boards. Wood and stucco move differently, so seal the gaps where they meet, then give each surface its own primer and paint.
Weather off the lake
Houses south of Lake Shore Boulevard West sit close to Lake Ontario. Walls open to the lake can take hard wind and driving rain, so check their caulking and paint each spring.
Oil enamel on 1950s trim
Etobicoke's population nearly tripled in the 1950s, a decade when trim and doors were often finished in oil-based enamel, which latex does not grip well. Test old trim for lead first, then clean, scuff and prime it with a bonding primer.
Neighbourhoods
Neighbourhoods we serve in Etobicoke
What the homes are like in each part of Etobicoke, and what that means for a paint job.
Mimico
Mimico mixes early 1900s houses near Lake Shore Boulevard with the condo towers of Humber Bay Shores on the waterfront. Tower suites follow each building's rules, while the older houses nearest the lake take the most weather.
New Toronto
New Toronto was planned as an industrial town and became a village in 1913, and its streets are lined with modest houses built for factory workers. Small rooms and narrow halls there make careful cutting-in matter more than rolling.
Long Branch
Long Branch began as a lakeside summer resort in the late 1800s, and cottages that became year-round homes still sit among newer houses near the lake. Old cottages often have wood siding that needs priming wherever it is bare.
Islington Village
Islington Village, along Dundas Street West, grew from a 19th-century village and now mixes older houses with post-war homes and new builds. Its main street is known for large murals painted on the sides of its buildings.
Humber Valley Village
Humber Valley Village, above the Humber River, was built in stages from the 1930s to the 1960s, with large brick and stone houses on curving streets. Many keep original wood windows and trim that need careful scraping and priming.
Markland Wood
Markland Wood was begun in 1960 in southwest Etobicoke and built around its golf course, with split-levels, bungalows and some apartment towers. Split-levels have stepped stairwell walls that need a stair ladder or platform.
Rexdale
Rexdale, in north Etobicoke, grew from the 1950s with bungalows, semis, townhouses and apartment towers. Many homes there are rentals or condo townhouses, where the landlord or the board sets the rules for exterior colours.
