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 Hodgson home going too high can undo a good job.

Do you patch drywall before you paint?

Yes — we are drywall specialists first, so Hodgson nail holes, cracks and damage get patched and primed before painting, same visit.

How many coats will my walls need?

Most rooms in Hodgson 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.

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.

Do you do interior painting in Hodgson?

Yes — Hodgson is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud.

Can you paint a single Hodgson room, or one feature wall?

Yes — from a single feature wall to a full-home repaint, we scope and price to what you need in your Hodgson home.

Interior Painting Hodgson Edmonton | Walls & Trim

Interior painting in Hodgson from a crew that drywalls too

Painters who drywall are rare, and so are drywallers who paint — which is why patched repaints in Hodgson typically cost two quotes and two bookings. In Hodgson we are both: the same trusted team that repairs and finishes your drywall also primes and paints it. Hodgson is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, 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 Hodgson, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

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 Hodgson home with uneven walls, going up in sheen can undo a good paint job.

Hodgson drywall in context

About Hodgson

The Hodgson neighbourhood was named after John Hodgson (1888-1969) who was the city comptroller and financial commissioner for the City of Edmonton for nearly 40 years.

What we see in Hodgson

In Hodgson the drywall work is first-year settling, basement dev for first owners, Level 5 over builder-grade. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

What affects the cost of interior painting in Hodgson in Edmonton?

Prep, coats and colour change

The cost of interior painting in Hodgson comes down to how much prep the walls need, how many coats the colour change requires, and trim and ceiling scope. We assess on site and give a fixed price before we start.

Prep in Hodgson homes

The walls here usually need a full prep pass -- patching nail holes, sanding rough spots and priming years of touch-ups before the new colour goes on before the first coat goes on — that prep is priced honestly up front, not discovered halfway through the job.

What a paint-ready surface actually means

Defined, not assumed

Sanded smooth, dust removed, repairs spot-primed, edges clean and any defect the painter would otherwise find already dealt with.

Why we define it

Most disputes between drywall and paint trades are about a surface neither party inspected together. When we do both on an Hodgson job that argument disappears, and when we do not, we walk it with the other trade.

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 Hodgson room and then noticing the defects is the most common reason a repaint feels disappointing.

Why we prime new board differently

Two surfaces, one wall

New Hodgson 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.
