Painter masking a window on a house with grey siding

Orleans · Ottawa east

House painters in Orleans.

Interior painting, cabinet painting and exterior repaints across Orleans, from Convent Glen and Queenswood Heights to Avalon and Cardinal Creek.

Painted for Orleans homes.

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.

Worth reading for Orleans homes

Before you paint in Orleans

The age of the house, its surfaces and the local rules all shape a Orleans paint job. These are the things we check first.

  • Chalky aluminumWashing off the chalk is the step that makes paint stick to old aluminum siding.
  • Split-levelsHalf-storey stairwells and open-to-above rooms need staging for safe access.
  • Stained trimVarnished trim needs sanding and a bonding primer before paint.
  • Shaded lotsMature trees mean mildew on north walls, which is treated before painting.

Orleans painting questions

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

Is it worth painting aluminum siding?

Often, yes. If the siding is straight and sound, washing, priming and painting it costs a fraction of re-siding and can last many years.

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

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

Can you paint stained trim white?

Yes. Stained or varnished trim is cleaned, sanded and primed with a bonding primer, then finished with a durable enamel.

When should we book an exterior repaint?

Winter or early spring. The exterior season runs roughly May to early October, and summer dates fill first.
