How do I get a quote?
Roll On Painting provides quotes three ways: through the instant estimator on the website, by phone, or by email. Free on-site estimates are available for larger projects.
Do you offer commercial painting services?
Yes. We provide commercial and institutional painting for businesses, schools, hospitals, and government buildings. We offer after-hours service to minimize disruption to your operations.
Do I need to be home for an estimate?
For exterior projects, you don't need to be home — we can walk the property and assess everything on our own unless there are specific areas you'd like to point out. For interior projects, we do need access to the home, but you don't have to be there personally. A property manager, friend, or neighbour who can let us in works perfectly. We don't require both decision-makers to be present, and there's no high-pressure sales pitch — we'll assess the project, send you an honest quote, and let you decide on your own time. We know you're busy, and so are we — sometimes it's easiest for us to take a look while you're at work.
More Questions
How long does a typical interior paint job take?
Most interior rooms can be completed in 1-2 days. A full home interior typically takes 3-5 days depending on size and prep work needed. We'll give you a timeline with your free estimate.
What paint brands do you use?
We work with premium brands including Benjamin Moore, Dulux, PPG, and Sansin wood stains. We'll recommend the best product for your specific project and surface type.
Do you provide color consultation?
Yes. We can help you choose colours that complement your space, lighting, and style. We bring sample swatches and can create test patches so you can see colours in your actual environment.
Do you paint during winter months?
Yes, we perform interior painting year-round. Exterior projects are seasonal and depend on weather conditions. We'll plan your project timing for optimal results.
What preparation work do you do before painting?
Proper prep is key to a lasting finish. We clean surfaces, fill holes and cracks, sand rough areas, apply primer where needed, caulk gaps, and mask/protect areas not being painted.
Do you move furniture?
Yes. We move furniture to the centre of the room and cover it with protective cloths. For heavy or specialty items, we'll discuss the best approach with you beforehand.
