How long does a typical interior painting project take?

Most single-room interiors take one to two days; a full main floor usually runs three to five days depending on trim and ceiling height. We give you a clear timeline in your free quote and stick to it.

Do I need to move out while you paint?

No. We use low-VOC, low-odour paints and section off rooms so you can keep living in your home. For full exteriors you're fully unaffected — the work happens outside.

Will you help me choose colours?

Yes — your free colour analysis is included. We bring sample boards, talk through how natural light hits each room at different times of day, and recommend finishes that suit your home's style.

What's covered by your warranty?

Every residential project includes a 3-month service warranty. If you notice any issues with the finish in that window, we return and fix them at no cost.

Do you paint exteriors in the Ottawa winter?

Exterior painting needs stable, above-freezing temperatures for proper curing, so we schedule exteriors in the warmer months. Interior painting runs year-round. We'll always advise the right timing for your project.

What It Is

What residential painting solves

Your home is your biggest investment and the place you live every day. Ayre Coat brings a careful, detail-first approach to residential painting across the Ottawa region — from a single accent wall to a full interior repaint or a fresh exterior that protects your home through every Canadian season. We work around your schedule, protect your floors and furniture, and leave your home cleaner than we found it.

Common problems we fix

Walls marked by years of kids, pets, and daily life that no amount of scrubbing will fix
Faded or peeling exterior paint leaving siding and trim exposed to Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycles
Builder-grade flat paint that scuffs the moment you look at it
A colour you chose years ago that no longer fits how you use the room
Patchy, roller-marked DIY paint jobs that make a room feel unfinished

Our Process

How we approach residential painting

A clear, repeatable process tailored to this service — so you know what's happening at every step.

Free Quote & Colour Analysis

We walk your home with you, measure every surface, and provide a free, itemized quote. Your free colour analysis and style recommendation happen right here — we bring sample boards and talk through how light moves through each room.

Prep & Protection

On day one we move and cover furniture, mask trim and floors, fill nail holes and cracks, sand smooth, and prime where needed. Proper prep is where a flawless finish actually begins.

Precision Painting

We cut in every edge by hand for crisp lines, then roll two even coats of premium paint. Crown molding, baseboards, ceilings, and walls each get the right technique and the right product.

Walk-Through & Warranty

We do a final walk-through with you to confirm every detail meets the standard, clean up completely, and hand over your 3-month service warranty. If anything needs touching up, we come back.

Materials & Options

The right products for this work

We choose materials for the specific demands of this service — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Premium Interior Paints

We use washable, low-VOC premium paints from trusted Canadian brands — scrubbable finishes for high-traffic areas, matte for ceilings, and durable trims that resist scuffs.

Weather-Rated Exterior Coatings

Exterior surfaces get elastomeric and acrylic coatings rated for Canadian freeze-thaw cycles, with proper primers for wood, stucco, aluminum, and brick.

The Right Sheen for Each Surface

Flat for ceilings, eggshell for living areas, satin or semi-gloss for kitchens, baths, and trim — chosen for how you live, not a one-size-fits-all finish.

Signs You Need This

When to call about residential painting

If any of these sound familiar, it's probably time for a free quote.

Paint is cracking, peeling, or bubbling — especially on exterior walls or trim

You can see roller marks, lap lines, or patchy coverage from the last paint job

Scuffs, fingerprints, and marks won't wash off anymore

You're preparing to list your home and want it to show at its best

Your trim and doors are chipped and yellowed from age

A room feels dark or dated and a fresh colour would transform it

Pricing Honesty

How pricing works

No fake fixed numbers — just a transparent explanation of how your quote is built.

How residential pricing works

Every home is different, so we price by the actual surface area and condition — not a flat per-room rate that hides the real cost. Your free quote breaks down walls, ceilings, trim, and prep so you see exactly what you're paying for.

What changes the price

Ceiling height, the amount of trim and crown molding, wall condition (cracks, water stains, or previous dark colours that need extra coats), and whether furniture needs to be moved all affect the final number. We'll explain every line.

No hidden fees

The number on your quote is the number you pay. Free colour analysis, free style recommendation, and your 3-month service warranty are all included standard — never added on.

“AyreCoat transformed my basement with a fresh coat of paint, and I'm beyond impressed! Their team was professional, worked around my schedule, and delivered flawless results. The attention to detail was outstanding, and their quality work really shows. I highly recommend them for residential or commercial painting—a truly top-notch service!”

Max M.Ottawa, ON

“Ayre Coat left me gobsmacked with the speed and accuracy with which they painted the exterior of my townhouse. I was the last person who painted my house, years ago... I simply would not have thought what Ayre Coat accomplished possible had I not seen it with my own eyes... the man who was doing the work was unfailingly polite, informative, and so focussed on the work that he finished before 5 pm!... I am so over the moon with the whole Ayre Coat experience that I am ordering more work from them for the fall, and I would happily recommend this company to anyone.”
