Painting Canossa rooms by the crew that finished the drywall

In Canossa, a repaint with patching normally forces two trades on site — painters rarely drywall and drywallers rarely paint. In Canossa we are both: the same trusted team that repairs and finishes your drywall also primes and paints it. Canossa is an older Northwest 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 Canossa, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

Our Canossa interior painting process in Edmonton, step by step

Walls first, paint second

Before painting anything in Albany, Athlone, Baranow we inspect for nail holes, scuffs and board damage. Anything that needs patching gets patched and primed first — in Albany, Athlone, Baranow 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.

How long before the room is usable

Dry and cured are different

A wall is dry to touch in hours and fully cured in weeks. In between it is soft enough to mark from furniture pushed against it or tape pulled off it.

What we recommend

Give a freshly painted Canossa room a few days before pushing furniture back tight against the walls, and longer before washing them. It is the single most common way a good paint job gets damaged.

Ceilings as part of a room repaint

The decision people defer

Repainting walls and leaving the ceiling makes the ceiling look grey, because the new wall colour is brighter than the aged ceiling next to it.

Our advice

If the ceiling has not been done in years, do it with the room. It is far cheaper while the floor is already protected and the room is already out of use than as a separate visit later.

Cutting in, and why it is the tell

The line at the ceiling

Anyone can roll a wall. The line where wall meets ceiling, and the edges around trim and switches, are what separate a painted room from a decorated one.

How we do it

Cut by hand rather than relying on tape alone, because tape lifts on textured or uneven Canossa surfaces and bleeds on fresh compound. A steady line cut freehand holds up better than a taped one that bled.

Why we prime new board differently

Two surfaces, one wall

New Canossa drywall is board paper plus joint compound, and the two drink paint at different rates. Finish coats straight onto raw board give a patchy sheen that shows once the light hits it.

What we use

A drywall primer-sealer over the whole surface, not a spot prime over the joints. It is the cheapest step in the job and the one most often skipped by whoever is trying to be lowest price.

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.
Why do my touch-ups always show?
Because the wall around them has aged and the patch has not, even from the same tin. Touch up corner to corner rather than spot-dabbing. We leave your tins labelled with the room and date for this reason.
