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

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

Can you do the Garneau drywall finishing and painting as one job?

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

Do you paint basement renovations?

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

Is finish-plus-paint a single Garneau contract with you?

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

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.

Do we have to do the ceiling in the next room too?

Not necessarily, but the old ceiling has yellowed, so the change shows at the doorway. Carry it to a natural break — a doorway, a beam, a change of level. We will point out where those are.

Renovation painting in Garneau, blended into the existing home

The last step of any Garneau reno is paint: new board from wall moves, kitchen changes or basement finishing must prime and blend into the rest. In Garneau we handle the reno drywall and the paint as one job, so the new work disappears into the old. Garneau 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. We cover Garneau, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona, 7 days a week.

Blend and finish
