Local notes
What should you know about painting a home in Leaside?
Leaside began as a planned town, incorporated in 1913, and most of its houses went up between the 1920s and the 1940s. The typical home is a two-storey brick detached or semi-detached house with plaster walls and wood trim. Many have been renovated or rebuilt since, so original and new homes share the same streets.
Plaster, not drywall
Original Leaside homes often have plaster walls. Plaster cracks along old lines and needs a different repair than drywall, so send close-ups of the cracks with your photos.
Lead in older paint
Health Canada advises that homes built before 1960 probably contain some lead-based paint. Test old trim and windows before sanding, and keep the dust contained.
Stained wood trim
Many homes keep their original stained trim, doors and stair rails. Painting wood is hard to undo, so decide room by room, and prime so tannins do not bleed through.

Questions
Questions from Leaside
What does it cost to paint a bedroom in a Leaside house?
$700–$1,300 in 2026, before HST, with its ceiling and trim. Walls alone start from $450. Send close-ups of the plaster, and a crew lead checks it for repairs.
How do you get rid of old paint cans in Leaside?
Take them to a City of Toronto Drop-off Depot, or book the City's free Toxic Taxi for 10 to 50 litres. Paint is household hazardous waste in Toronto, so it never goes in the garbage or down the drain.
Can you have just one room painted in Leaside?
Yes. A job under one crew-day is billed at least the $750 + HST minimum, so it pays to group small jobs. A room, some trim and a few plaster repairs make good use of one visit.
What does it cost to paint the whole inside of a Leaside house?
$4,800–$9,500 for a 3-bedroom home in 2026, before HST. Plaster repairs and the number of rooms with ceilings and trim decide where a house falls.
What does it cost to paint the outside of a Leaside house?
$7,000–$18,000 for a two-storey home in 2026, before HST. On brick houses the painting is mostly the wood trim, porches, windows and doors, and the written quote prices exactly that.
