What's included

Every exterior job. Every time. Prep is the work.

The difference between an early-failing exterior and one that lasts a decade is prep. Wash, scrape, prime, caulk. We don't cut those steps to lower the price.

01

Power wash + cleaning

Pressure-wash the entire house to strip dirt, mildew, chalk, and loose paint. Bleach treatment on north and east faces.

02

Scrape, sand, feather

All loose, peeling, and failing paint scraped off. Edges sanded smooth so the new paint film lays flat.

03

Wood repair + caulk

Replace rotten siding boards, fascia, or trim. Caulk every joint, gap, and seam to seal moisture out.

04

Spot priming

Stain-blocking primer on bare wood, tannin bleeds, knots, rust spots, and any dark-to-light transition.

05

Two coats premium paint

Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior or Regal Select Exterior. Dulux Diamond Exterior on commercial. Brushed and rolled.

06

Trim, fascia, soffits, eaves

Crisp cut-lines on every transition. Trim and soffits get a high-gloss enamel. Fascia gets full coverage.

07

Doors + shutters + cleanup

Front door, shutters, and garage doors painted by hand. Drop cloths, plastic, and tape removed daily.

08

1-year written warranty

Peeling, blistering, cracking, or premature failure on our workmanship — we come back and fix it. Written, signed.

Surfaces we paint

Every exterior surface. Every siding type.

Vinyl through cedar, stucco through brick. We match the right paint system to the substrate, not the other way around.

Vinyl siding

Vinyl-safe acrylic only — wrong product warps the siding. Light-to-light or light-to-dark within VRC range.

Wood siding (cedar, pine)

Lap, T1-11, board-and-batten, shakes. Stain or paint depending on grain visibility you want.

Fiber cement (Hardie)

Factory-primed Hardie holds paint extremely well. Lasts 12 to 15 years on north exposures.

Stucco repaint

Crack repair, elastomeric topcoat. Bridges hairline cracks and breathes — proper stucco system.

Brick (limewash + masonry)

Limewash for the European look. Masonry paint for full opaque coverage. Always alkali-resistant primer.

Trim, fascia, soffits

Exterior-grade alkyd or 100% acrylic enamel. Crisp white, off-white, charcoal — your brand colours.

Doors, shutters, garage

Front door makeovers in 1 day. Garage door spray or roll. Shutters removed, painted, rehung.

Decks + fences (crossover)

Stain or solid colour for decks, board-on-board fences, and lattice. Pairs with exterior repaints.

Transparent pricing

Real exterior ranges. No hidden markup.

Every estimate is free and on-site. We give you a firm written quote — not a phone guess.

Did our whole exterior in July — cedar siding, white trim, charcoal door. Crew showed up rain or shine, scraped every loose chip, and primed every bare spot before any topcoat. Best paint job our house has ever had.

We're absentee — cottage on Trout Lake, we live in Toronto. Ahmed coordinated lockup, sent photo updates every evening, finished a week before our August trip. The cottage looked brand new when we drove up.

Stucco crack repair plus a full elastomeric repaint. The crew explained the elastomeric system, why it bridges hairline cracks, and showed us samples of how it would look. Two years in, no new cracks visible.

How much does exterior painting cost in North Bay?

Exterior painting in North Bay typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000+ for a typical home. A single-storey ranch with vinyl or wood siding runs $3,000 to $5,500. A two-storey home runs $5,500 to $9,500. Larger homes, cottages, and properties needing significant prep — wood replacement, scraping, or stucco repair — sit at the upper end. Every estimate includes power washing, scraping, sanding, spot priming, two coats of Benjamin Moore or Dulux exterior paint, trim, fascia, soffits, and a 1-year written warranty on workmanship.

What's the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Northern Ontario?

Exterior painting season in North Bay runs from late May through mid-September, when overnight lows stay reliably above 10 Celsius and surface temperatures stay below 30 Celsius. Most modern exterior paints need at least 8 hours of dry weather above 10 Celsius to cure properly. We start booking the season in January and finish booking by April — anyone who waits until June for a quote is usually scheduled into the following year. Cottage and cabin exteriors along Lake Nipissing get priority in May and early September shoulder weeks when summer rentals slow down.

How long does it take to paint the exterior of a house?

A typical single-storey home takes 4 to 6 working days. A two-storey home takes 6 to 10 working days. The schedule breaks down as roughly: 1 day to power wash, 1 to 2 days to scrape and sand, 1 day to prime spot-repairs and caulk, 2 to 3 days for the first coat, and 1 to 2 days for the second coat plus trim, doors, and cleanup. Weather adds buffer days — we never apply paint over wet wood or in temperatures outside the manufacturer's spec.

What kind of paint do you use for exteriors?

We use Benjamin Moore as our primary exterior line and Dulux as our secondary. For most homes we specify Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior or Regal Select Exterior in flat or low-lustre — both offer excellent UV resistance, mildew protection, and 25+ year manufacturer warranties. For commercial and budget-conscious work we use Dulux Diamond Exterior or Weatherguard. Trim, fascia, and doors get a high-gloss alkyd or 100% acrylic enamel for durability against weather and UV. For wood siding restoration we use Benjamin Moore Arborcoat semi-transparent or solid stain.

How long does exterior paint last on a North Bay home?

On a properly prepped exterior with two coats of premium paint, you should expect 8 to 12 years of life on south and west exposures, and 12 to 15 years on north and east exposures. Lake-facing cottages and homes near Lake Nipissing or Trout Lake see slightly faster wear due to UV reflection and humidity. Cedar siding stained with Arborcoat needs a maintenance coat every 4 to 6 years to stay protected. Our 1-year written warranty covers workmanship — peeling, blistering, premature failure — for the first year after the paint is applied.
