Interior painting, cabinet painting and exterior repaints across Orleans, from Convent Glen and Queenswood Heights to Avalon and Cardinal Creek.
Painting in Orleans
Much of Orleans was built between the 1970s and the 1990s, in neighbourhoods like Convent Glen, Queenswood Heights, Fallingbrook and Chapel Hill, with newer growth in Avalon, Notre-Dame-des-Champs and Cardinal Creek. The older homes often have original aluminum or wood siding, stained trim and interiors last painted in colours that dated the house.
Faded, chalky aluminum siding is one of the most common exterior jobs here. After a thorough wash and spot priming, it takes paint well and can look new for a fraction of the cost of re-siding. Wood trim and fascia on the same homes need scraping, priming and fresh caulking to keep water out through the winter.
Inside, a whole-house colour update, painted trim and painted kitchen cabinets can make a 1980s split-level feel current without a renovation. Split-level stairwells and open-to-above living rooms need staging, which we plan for in the quote.
