Carp · West Carleton

House painters in Carp.

Exterior and interior painting for Carp and West Carleton homes, from the village to Dunrobin, Constance Bay and Kinburn.

Painted for Carp homes.

Carp and the rest of West Carleton have everything from century farmhouses and village homes to 1980s country bungalows and newer homes on acreage. Farmhouses often have wood siding, deep trim and porches that have been painted many times, so the job starts with scraping, testing older layers for lead and priming bare wood.

Country homes take more weather than most. Open fields mean more wind-driven rain and snow, and full sun on south walls breaks down paint faster. We choose high-quality exterior acrylics and lighter colours on the sunniest walls, and recaulk every joint where water could get behind the siding.

Inside, older farmhouses often have plaster, wainscoting and wide original trim, which we repair and paint by hand. Newer country homes are mostly straightforward interior repaints and cabinet work.

Carp painting questions

Call or text 613-806-4000 and we'll answer anything else.

Do you paint older farmhouses?

Yes. We test older layers for lead, scrape back to sound paint, prime bare wood and recaulk before painting, and give you a phased plan if the house needs it.

Do I need a permit to paint my house in Carp?

No building permit is needed to paint inside or outside a house in Carp. Condo and townhome communities can control exterior colours through their declarations, so check before choosing a new one.

Do you serve Dunrobin and Constance Bay?

Yes. We work across Carp, Dunrobin, Constance Bay, Kinburn and the surrounding area, and quotes are free.

What colours last best on a sunny country home?

Lighter and mid-tone colours fade and heat up less than very dark ones, especially on south and west walls.
