Our house was smoked in. Will that come through?

Yes, staining and odour both, sometimes weeks later. It needs washing, then a stain-blocking sealer, then finish coats. Painting straight over it yellows unevenly and still smells.

Why did the last repaint peel?

Most often latex applied over old oil-based paint without a bonding primer. A simple solvent test tells us what is there. It is the single most common cause of a renovation repaint failing.

Can you paint new drywall so it blends with my existing Bisset walls?

Yes — priming new drywall correctly and colour-matching into the existing wall is exactly what we do on Bisset renos.

Will the new board blend into my current Bisset walls after painting?

Yes — priming new drywall correctly and colour-matching into the existing wall is exactly what we do on Bisset renos.

Will you handle both the Bisset finishing and the painting?

Yes — that is how most Bisset renovation projects work with us, priced and scheduled together.

Do you paint basement renovations?

Yes — painting Bisset basement developments end to end, bulkheads and mechanical chases and all, is a staple job.

Renovation Painting Bisset Edmonton | Post-Reno Paint

Painting new board into an existing Bisset room

An Bisset renovation always ends with paint — new drywall at a moved wall, a fresh kitchen layout or a finished basement all need priming and painting to blend into the home. In Bisset we handle the reno drywall and the paint as one job, so the new work disappears into the old. Bisset is an Mill Woods and Meadows community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so the prep here is prep that ranges from light touch-ups on newer builds to a full patch-and-skim pass on the older homes nearby. We cover Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove, Ekota and Mill Woods and Meadows, 7 days a week.

Where new work meets old paint

The join is the job

In a Bisset renovation the difficult surface is not the new wall, it is the line where new board meets a wall that has been painted three times over twenty years.

How we handle it

Prime the new work, then carry the finish coats corner to corner rather than stopping at the join. A finish coat that stops where the new board stops will show that line under any raking light.

What we see in Bisset

Dust from the renovation itself

Paint traps whatever is on the wall

A Bisset renovation generates fine dust that settles everywhere, including on surfaces about to be painted.

Before we open a tin

Surfaces get wiped down, not just visually checked. Painting over settled drywall dust gives a gritty finish that cannot be fixed without sanding it back.

Ceilings during a partial renovation

The line at the doorway

Painting the ceiling in the renovated Bisset room and not the next one leaves a visible change at the door opening, because the old ceiling has yellowed.

Where to stop

Carry it to a natural break — a doorway, a beam, a change of level. We will point out where those are so the decision is deliberate.

Sequencing with the other trades

Paint is usually late

On a Bisset renovation the paint lands after drywall and before flooring and final fixtures, and everyone behind is waiting.

Two-stage painting

Often the best answer is prime and first coat before flooring and cabinets, final coat after. It costs one extra visit and saves the damage that always happens during install.

Prime new drywall properly

New drywall in Crawford Plains, Daly Grove, Ekota needs a full primer coat before finish paint — skipping it leaves flashing (patchy sheen) where old and new paint meet.

Blend and finish

We colour-match into existing walls where the reno only touched part of a room, or fully repaint where the scope calls for a clean break from the old colour.
