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 Garneau home going too high can undo a good job.

How many coats will my walls need?

Most rooms in Garneau 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.

Should I do the ceilings at the same time?

If they have not been done in years, yes. New wall colour makes an aged ceiling look grey, and doing it while the floor is already protected and the room already out of use is far cheaper than a separate visit.

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.

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 do interior painting in Garneau?

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

Interior Painting Garneau Edmonton | Walls & Trim

Interior painting in Garneau, on a surface prepared for it

An Garneau repaint that needs wall repairs usually means hiring twice — because the two trades almost never overlap. In Garneau we are both: the same trusted team that repairs and finishes your drywall also primes and paints it. Garneau 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 Garneau, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona, 7 days a week.

Repairs before paint, not after

Paint reveals, it does not hide

Nail pops, hairline cracks and old patches all show more under fresh paint than they did under the tired coat you are replacing.

The order of work

The wall gets repaired, sanded and spot-primed first. Painting a Garneau room and then noticing the defects is the most common reason a repaint feels disappointing.
