Our Reviews
Lorne Bossin
5/5
We recently hired Finesse Finish Painters for the third time. This time they stained our deck. Ramone and the entire team did an excellent job of sanding the deck and then appling two coats of stain. Vince is an excellent communicator and organized the job throughout. The deck looks fantastic and the job was completed in the requested time frame. We really appreciate the job they did and the time spent. I would highly recommend them for any painting job inside or outside!

Our Condo Process
Step 1 - Masking & Floor Protection
The first and most important step in a residential interior painting project is to protect the surrounding areas. We always allocate enough time so that our staff can protect your property and belongings. You can expect our crew to do the following:
-
Sealing off the rooms we are working in so that the dust and debris doesn't spread to other rooms.
-
Carefully move all of the furniture to the center of the rooms or to another area where we are not working.
-
Thoroughly cover the furniture with plastic
-
Protect the floors with dropcloths or construction paper. We use "purple" tape to ensure that the adhesive does not damage your floors and that the paint does not bleed thorough
-
Features such as wallpaper and kitchen cabinets are all masked with plastic to protect against overspray - especially in the case where ceilings are being painted.
-
In cases where the trim is being sprayed, we have to make sure that the masking is tight to the edges and seals all the areas.
-
We remove all switch covers & cover pot lights if there are any.
Step 2 - Wall & Trim Repair
The second step of a residential interior paint job is to thoroughly repair the walls and trim. This ensures that the finished product looks seamless.
-
For walls repairs, we use standard drywall compound to patch and fill holes, scratches and scuffs. Depending on the depth of the damage, we may have to apply several thin coats of compound while letting them dry in between. We then mark the repair areas with tape for later sanding (it can be difficult to see patched areas of the walls are white).
-
For trim repairs we first punch in any protruding nails. We then fill/reform damaged trim with wood filler to restore the shape of the trim. Wood filler is our preferred filler for trim because it dries hard and forms a bond with the wood fibers.
-
Cracks in the trim are caulked. If the existing caulk is lifting, we cut out the old caulk before applying a new bead of caulking.
-
Additional rounds of hole filling after applying the primer or top coat is common because the paint can reveal areas which were initially missed.
Step 3 - Sanding & Priming
Step 3 is to thoroughly sand all the areas that were patched/repaired. This process smoothens the patch so that it can blend in with the rest of the surfaces. In addition to sanding down areas that were repaired, we also do a light sand to all of the walls and trim. A light sand helps to remove dust & texture and to give the paint a profile to adhere to. Our team uses Festool dust extractors with our sanders to provide a dustless experience while sanding.
Areas which were patched are then primed to seal in the filler/compound, promote adhesion and prevent flashing of the finish coat. We also look for stains (water marks, grease, pen, etc...) and prime them to prevent the colour from bleeding through the finish coat. The primer sometimes raises wood fibers or drywall compound so it is important to lightly sand those areas after.
Step 4 - Applying Paint
After all the prep work is complete, we are finally ready to paint. Our order of painting is:
-
Cut & roll the ceilings
-
Roll the first coat of paint on the wall
-
Apply 2 coats of paint on the trim
-
Cut the walls in
-
Cut the 2nd coat of paint on the walls
-
Roll the 2nd coat of paint on the walls
The reason we roll before cutting on the first coat is because it allows us to see if we missed any holes or areas that need to be filled. We can then fill those areas and let them dry while we paint the trim and cut the walls (which takes more time). On the second coat we always cut first and then roll to hide brush marks and prevent flashing.
Paints We Use For Condo Painting
#1 Benjamin Moore - Regal Select
Our favourite paint to use for condo painting is Benjamin Moore's second top of the line paint, Regal Select. Though not as prestigious as Benjamin Moore's Aura (Benny Moore's top of the line paint), Regal Select is the overall better value for condo painting projects (we only recommend Aura if you are painting your condo a deep colour). Regal Select is thick, covers well, dries fast and looks smooth on walls. Regal boasts exceptional cleanability, even in a matte finish. That means you can wipe & wash your walls without worrying about the paint fading off. This product is self-priming so you can apply it directly to your walls unless there are stains underneath.
Pricing: $94.99 +HST / gallon
Condo Painting FAQ
Q: How much does it cost to paint my condo?
A: Our condo painting services start at $1400+HST. A typical 700 SF (9ft ceilings) condo will cost $1400+HST to paint (walls only). Factors which could affect the cost of the paint job are: wall conditions, furniture which need to be moved, trim which need to be painted, colours which require more than 2 coats.
Q: How long does it take to paint my condo?
A: It typically takes 2 days to paint a 700sf 1 bedroom condo (9 ft ceilings, walls only). However, this can vary depending on the conditions of the walls (walls painted with porous builder paint will absorb more paint and slow down process).
Q: Do you provide the paint?
A: Our quotes always include the price of paint, labour and other materials.
Q: How long will the paint job last?
A: The paint job should last you 20+ years. This means the paint won't flake off, fade or bubble. With that being said, if you are scratching or bumping into the surface and causing scuffs, this could damage the paint.
Q: Is there a warranty?
A: We offer a 5 year warranty on interior paint jobs. If the paint peels, flakes or fades due to poor craftsmanship, we will come and touch it up for you. This does not include surfaces damaged by contact.
