Painting Prices in Toronto & the GTA (2026)

How does a published range become your price?

Your written quote sets your price. Until then, the published ranges and the estimator give you a ballpark.

1. See your range. The estimator places your job within its published range from a few answers, in about a minute. Then send photos: a crew lead quotes from them.
2. 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.
3. Written, itemized quote. It arrives within 24 hours of seeing the job, with the scope, the prep, the paint by brand and line, the price plus HST, the dates, and any surface the warranty can't cover.

You book your start date once the quote is in hand, and the seven steps take it from there. A 20% deposit books your dates, and the rest is due an hour before the job is finished.

Your sizes and what the crew lead sees decide where your job sits in its range. Two bedrooms can share one price row and still differ in ceiling height, repairs and colour change. The quote prices your rooms as they are, on the sizes you give us. If the crew finds the job bigger or smaller, the price changes to match, and you see the new price before any work starts.

Rows marked as quoted, such as staircases, stucco and popcorn ceilings, have no published amount. Their price turns on details that have to be seen, so it comes in the written quote once we've seen them.

Can several small jobs share one minimum charge?

Yes. The minimum job is $750 + HST, one crew-day, and small jobs booked into the same visit share it. A bedroom's walls start from $450, so one bedroom booked alone is billed at no less than the minimum.

Grouping lets that crew-day cover more of your list. Each added part is priced from its own row, or quoted with the job, and the total is never less than the minimum. What fits in one day depends on sizes and condition, so ask the crew lead when you send your photos.

Our post on why painters have a minimum charge lists the small jobs that pair well.

How do you add up the price of a whole project?

Add the published row for each part of the job. These two examples use only rows from this page, before HST, with every mandatory fee included.

Project	Published rows added	Total, before HST
A 2-bedroom condo and its kitchen cabinets	Condo, 2-bedroom, plus kitchen cabinets, most kitchens	$5,000–$12,300
The inside of a 3-bedroom home and its kitchen cabinets	3-bedroom home, whole interior, plus kitchen cabinets, most kitchens	$8,000–$18,000

The estimator takes every part of a project at once, and your answers place the total within these ranges. Your photos and the written quote then settle it. Your itemized quote shows each part, so you can see what each one adds, and 13% HST goes on top.

Both examples come in over $2,500, so either would include a free 30-minute colour consult with a crew lead. The cabinets would carry a 2-year finish warranty, and the rest of the interior a 5-year one.
