Services
Interior Painting
Our interior painting service combines meticulous preparation with premium low-VOC paints for lasting results. We handle surface repairs, color transitions, and protective covering of belongings while maintaining clean workspaces throughout the project. Our trained professionals ensure even coats and precise trim work, with post-job inspections confirming complete satisfaction before final walkthroughs. Clients receive detailed documentation of paint specifications and maintenance recommendations.
Exterior Painting
Exterior painting projects focus on weather protection and curb appeal enhancement. We use durable, climate-appropriate coatings that resist Toronto's seasonal extremes. Surface preparation includes pressure washing, wood repair, and caulking before applying primer and finish coats. Our crews work efficiently while maintaining property access and implementing safety measures for occupied buildings, with completed projects featuring warranty-backed paint performance guarantees.
Eco Painting
Our eco-painting service prioritizes environmental responsibility through zero-VOC paints and sustainable practices. We minimize waste through precise material calculations and reuse leftover paint for community projects. Workspaces maintain proper ventilation during application, and all hazardous materials receive proper disposal. Clients receive documentation about paint ingredients and environmental impact reductions compared to conventional methods.
Wallpaper Removal
Professional wallpaper removal includes testing adhesion methods and selecting appropriate removal solutions. We handle both traditional and modern wallcoverings, repairing drywall damage afterward. The process maintains structural integrity while preparing surfaces for painting, with final inspections ensuring complete adhesive removal and smooth wall preparation for subsequent coatings.
Deck Staining
Deck staining services combine thorough cleaning with protective sealants that enhance wood longevity. We use eco-friendly cleaners and pressure washing to remove old finishes before applying UV-resistant stains. The process includes repairing damaged boards and ensuring proper drainage, with completed projects featuring enhanced aesthetics and extended maintenance cycles for Toronto-area properties.

We having nothing but fabulous things to say about Ecopainting and their team. They painted our 1400 sq ft apartment and it looks fabulous. As well, Karon was remarkable at helping us pick just the most perfect colours for our walls. We highly recommend them and will reach out to them again in the future. They arrived on time, cleaned up after each day so you felt that they had never been in your home.

We had a great experience with Ecopainting. Karon was very responsive and came to 2 home visits prior to our move-in to make sure we went through the house together to go over colours. The crew was friendly, professional, and followed COVID protocols (Chris was the crew lead and he was amazing!!). They also did a great job and didnt leave any mess at all! They finished on time and were transparent about pricing. They even can in and helped us with some touch-ups after our movers came through. I would highly recommend Ecopainting!

This company was recommended by a designer. I felt that using only their own employees was a plus. The two painters who removed the wallpaper and painted a large room did a really excellent job of prepping and essentially made no mess at all. The painting was professionally done and the room looks great. Fabulous, even! Im very satisfied and would use them again.

Karon, George, Katie, Greg and everyone at Ecopainting that worked on our office remodeling project was a great pleasure to work with! Everyone was professional, warm, friendly and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The painting team worked during business hours and was so quiet and polite that none of our 40 employees really noticed that they were there! All work was clean and they always cleaned up and dust or mess left behind. I would highly recommend Ecopainting and look forward to future project with George and Karon!!!

I contacted Ecopainting to paint our exterior doors, stain our back deck and paint our wood windows. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Katie and Andrea did an amazing job. Their attention to detail was very much appreciated. The girls were also great with our two large rescue dogs which was an added bonus. George was also wonderful to work with. Timelines were met and everything was done as promised. This company does not cut corners. We will definitely be contacting them again for our future painting needs.
