Painting in Findlay Creek
Painted for Findlay Creek homes.
Findlay Creek is one of Ottawa’s youngest communities, built mostly since the early 2000s off Bank Street and Leitrim Road. Most homes are well under twenty years old, and many still have the builder’s flat paint, which scuffs easily and doesn’t wash well.
A first repaint in a newer home is usually part drywall repair: nail pops, cracked corners and seams that opened as the house settled. Fixing them properly, with screws for the pops and re-taping for the cracks, means they don’t reappear a winter later.
Many homeowners here also paint the builder-grade parts of the house, like oak or thermofoil kitchen cabinets, hollow-core doors and basic trim, which changes how the house feels for far less than replacing them.

Findlay Creek FAQ
Findlay Creek painting questions
Call or text 613-806-4000 and we'll answer anything else.
Why does our new home have cracks and nail pops?
New framing dries and settles in the first few years. The fix is to reset pops with screws and re-tape cracks before painting.
Do I need a permit to paint my house in Findlay Creek?
No building permit is needed to paint inside or outside a house in Findlay Creek. Condo and townhome communities can control exterior colours through their declarations, so check before choosing a new one.
Can thermofoil cabinets be painted?
If the thermofoil is firmly bonded, yes, with a specialty bonding primer. Doors where it’s peeling near the stove or dishwasher should be replaced.
Can you paint interior doors?
Yes. Doors are cleaned, scuff-sanded and painted in a durable enamel, usually off their hinges for a smoother finish.
