A fresh paint job is the single most impactful improvement you can make to a home — and one of the best returns on investment before a sale. At Ottawa All Painting, we've helped hundreds of Ottawa homeowners transform their spaces with professional house painting that starts with the prep work and ends with a finish you're proud of.
We serve homeowners across Ottawa, including Kanata, Barrhaven, Nepean, Orleans, Stittsville, Westboro, and beyond.

Why Preparation Makes the Difference
Most homeowners can tell a professional house paint job from a DIY one within a year. The difference is almost always in the preparation. Before any paint goes on, our crews:
- Fill nail holes and cracks with appropriate compounds
- Sand rough patches and feather edges smooth
- Prime repaired areas and bare surfaces
- Tape and protect floors, furniture, and fixtures
- Spot-prime any stained or bleed-prone surfaces
The result is a finish that holds up to Ottawa's humidity, seasonal temperature swings, and everyday family life — without peeling, cracking, or showing patches within months.
House Painting for Every Ottawa Home Type
Ottawa's housing stock is diverse — from new builds in Barrhaven and Stittsville, to century homes in the Glebe and Centretown, to condos in Westboro and Centretown, to raised bungalows across Nepean and Gloucester. Each home type has its own painting considerations: newer drywall finishing, original plaster in older homes, popcorn ceiling removal, high-sheen trim in heritage properties.
We've painted them all. Our crews are experienced with every surface type common to Ottawa homes, and we adapt our prep and product selection accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions — House Painting Ottawa
What does house painting in Ottawa include?
Our house painting services cover everything inside your home: walls, ceilings, trim, baseboards, doors, kitchen cabinets, feature walls, and home offices. Every project starts with thorough surface preparation — filling holes, sanding, and priming — so the finished result looks professional and lasts for years.
How much does house painting cost in Ottawa?
House painting costs in Ottawa depend on the size of your home, the number of rooms, the condition of the surfaces, and the scope of work. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for every project so you know exactly what's included before any work begins. For a detailed breakdown, see our house painting cost guide.
How long does it take to paint a house in Ottawa?
A single room typically takes one day. A full interior repaint of an average Ottawa home usually takes three to five days depending on square footage, the number of colours, and the condition of the surfaces. We provide a clear timeline with every estimate and stick to it.
Do you paint new construction homes in Ottawa?
Yes. We work on new builds throughout Ottawa, including Kanata, Barrhaven, Stittsville, and Orleans. New construction painting typically involves walls, ceilings, trim, and doors throughout the entire home. We work directly with homeowners and builders to coordinate around other trades.
How many coats of paint do you apply?
We apply a minimum of two coats on all painted surfaces. Previously uncoated or repaired surfaces receive a primer coat first, followed by two topcoats. This ensures even coverage, rich colour depth, and a finish that holds up to everyday life.
Do you help choose paint colours?
Yes. We're happy to advise on colour selection and can work with samples directly on your walls before committing to a full paint job. We also work with popular brands including Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, so we can guide you through their product lines and finishes.
Do you offer free estimates for house painting in Ottawa?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all house painting projects across Ottawa and surrounding communities. Contact us to schedule a visit at your convenience — we'll walk through the project, answer your questions, and give you a detailed written quote.
