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

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

Do you combine drywall finishing with painting on Hodgson renos?

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

Should you paint before or after the new flooring?

Often both — 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.

Do you stand behind your renovation painting in Hodgson?

Yes. We walk the finished Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill reno with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

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 painted-over patches and new board blend into Hodgson walls?

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

Renovation Painting Hodgson Edmonton | Post-Reno Paint

Renovation painting in Hodgson, blended into the old wall

An Hodgson 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 Hodgson we handle the reno drywall and the paint as one job, so the new work disappears into the old. Hodgson is an older Whitemud 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. We cover Hodgson, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

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.

Working around what stays

Renovations are partial by definition

There is existing flooring, existing cabinetry, existing trim that is staying. All of it has to be protected to a higher standard than on an empty build.

Cut lines against old trim

Old casing is rarely straight and often has built-up paint edges. Cutting a clean line against it is slower than against new trim, and that time is real.

Our Hodgson renovation painting process in Edmonton, step by step

Prime new drywall properly

New drywall in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill 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.

Old oil-based paint underneath

Common in older Hodgson homes

Trim and sometimes walls in older houses carry oil-based paint. Modern latex applied straight over it will peel, sometimes in sheets, months later.

Testing and priming

A simple solvent test tells us what is there. Where it is oil, a bonding primer goes on first. Skipping that step is the single most common cause of a renovation repaint failing.

Nicotine, soot and kitchen grease

They bleed through

A Hodgson wall from a smoker's home or above a hard-used stove will bleed staining and odour through ordinary paint, sometimes weeks later.

What it needs

Washing first, then a stain-blocking sealer, then finish coats. It is extra work and it is not optional — painting straight over it produces a wall that yellows unevenly and still smells.
