Do you have to prime new drywall?

Yes, over the whole surface rather than spot-priming the joints. New board and joint compound absorb differently, so finish coats straight onto raw board give a patchy sheen once the light hits it. It is the cheapest step and the most often skipped.

Do you stand behind your painting work in Allendale?

Yes. We walk every Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine job with you before we pack up, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

What sheen should I choose?

Eggshell for most living areas, satin or semi-gloss where it needs cleaning, flat where the walls are uneven. Every step up in sheen cleans better and hides less — in an older Allendale home going too high can undo a good job.

Do you do interior painting in Allendale?

Yes — Allendale is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine and Scona.

How many coats will my colour need?

It depends what is on the wall now and what is going on. Dark-to-pale changes and saturated colours need more than two whatever the tin claims. We price the coats it will actually take rather than revise on site.

How many coats will my walls need?

Most rooms in Allendale need two to three coats depending on the colour change and wall condition — we confirm the number honestly at the on-site quote once we see the colour change and wall condition.

Interior painting in Allendale, on a surface prepared for it

In Allendale, a repaint with patching normally forces two trades on site — painters rarely drywall and drywallers rarely paint. In Allendale we are both: the same trusted team that repairs and finishes your drywall also primes and paints it. Allendale is an older Scona community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so the prep here is heavier prep -- patching plaster cracks, skim-coating uneven walls and priming stained or aged surfaces so the new paint reads flat, with often three coats to fully cover aged paint, patched plaster and stained sections. We cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine and Scona, 7 days a week.

Our Allendale interior painting process in Edmonton, step by step

Walls first, paint second

Before painting anything in Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine we inspect for nail holes, scuffs and board damage. Anything that needs patching gets patched and primed first — in Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine that is usually heavier prep -- patching plaster cracks, skim-coating uneven walls and priming stained or aged surfaces so the new paint reads flat.

Cut in, roll, finish

We cut in the edges cleanly, roll the field in often three coats to fully cover aged paint, patched plaster and stained sections, and check the finish under the room's actual light before we call it done.

Allendale drywall in context

About Allendale

Once farmed by the Allen family, this area was annexed by the City of Strathcona in 1907 and became part of Edmonton in 1912 when Strathcona and Edmonton amalgamated.

What we see in Allendale

In Allendale the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Dark and saturated colours

They behave differently

Deep colours have less hiding pigment, show roller lap marks more, and reveal every surface flaw. They also often need a tinted primer to reach depth in fewer coats.

Wall condition first

A deep colour on an uneven Allendale wall will look worse than a pale one on the same wall. If the plan is a dark feature wall, the wall may need skimming first, and we would rather say that now.

Low-VOC and painting an occupied home

Smell and air quality

Modern low-VOC paints have made painting an occupied Allendale home far more tolerable, but low-VOC does not mean no smell, especially in a closed-up winter house.

Practical steps

Ventilation while working and for a day after, sequencing bedrooms so people have somewhere to sleep, and telling you honestly which products smell more. Some primers and enamels still do.

Why one trusted team for drywall and paint makes sense in Allendale

No second contractor, no coordinating trades

When one trade patches an Allendale wall and another paints it, the painter is guessing at what sits under the primer. In Allendale we do both — drywall first, then paint — so the professionals painting your walls are the same professionals that repaired them. See our drywall repair work in Allendale.

One quote, one schedule

One booking covers the patch, the prep and the paint. No gap waiting on a second Allendale contractor, no second invoice.

Sheen, and choosing it by room

What each one does

Flat hides surface variation and marks easily. Eggshell is the usual living-area compromise. Satin wipes clean and shows more of the wall. Semi-gloss belongs on trim and in wet rooms.

The trade nobody explains

Every step up in sheen makes the wall easier to clean and less forgiving of what is under it. In an older Allendale home with uneven walls, going up in sheen can undo a good paint job.
