Request my quotes →A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to transform a home. In Montreal and the surrounding areas, homeowners often repaint when moving in, before selling or simply to refresh their space. Outside, siding, porches, balconies and trim are exposed to sun, rain, snow and freeze-thaw cycles, which wear down paint and stain faster. In Montreal and the surrounding areas, many homes also have wooden balconies, outdoor staircases and decorative trim that need regular upkeep to stay protected.
A successful paint job depends mostly on preparation: repairing cracks, sanding, priming and protecting surfaces. That’s why it’s worth comparing what each painter actually includes in their offer.

How it works
- Describe your project in our form in 2 minutes: surfaces to paint, interior or exterior, current condition and timeline.
- We contact up to 4 qualified local painters who match your project.
- You compare quotes and choose the one that suits you. The service is free and there’s no obligation.
When you compare painting quotes, pay close attention to what’s included. One painter may plan two coats with full prep, while another may plan a single coat with minimal repairs. Ask each painter to visit or review photos of your rooms so the quotes are based on the real condition of your walls, ceilings and trim. A clear scope makes it much easier to compare offers fairly and avoid surprises once work begins.
What affects the price
The price of a painting project depends on several factors:
- The area to paint and the number of rooms
- Ceiling height and access (stairwells, upper floors)
- Surface condition and prep required: repairs, sanding, priming
- Number of coats and major colour changes
- Quality and type of paint or stain selected
- Details: trim, doors, cabinets, textured ceilings
- For exteriors: scraping, scaffolding and siding type
- Your region and the season, especially for exterior work
Prices vary by region, materials, project size, access and season. To compare fairly, make sure each quote describes the same prep work and number of coats.
How to choose a painter
Before you hand over the job, take time to check a few things:
- RBQ licence: check that the contractor holds a valid licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec when the work requires one. You can look it up in the RBQ registry.
- Liability insurance: ask for proof of current coverage, useful if your property is damaged.
- Written, detailed quote: surfaces included, prep work, paint brand and type, number of coats, protection of furniture and floors, cleanup and timeline.
- Reviews and references: read customer reviews and ask for photos of past work.
- Warranty: ask what the labour warranty covers.
- Payment: never pay the full amount upfront.
Tips before you start
- Exterior painting: plan it from late spring to early fall, in dry weather and at temperatures suited to the product. Good painters book up quickly for summer.
- Interior painting: it can be done year-round. Fall and winter often offer more availability.
- Older homes: in older houses, old layers of paint may contain lead. Mention your home’s age so the painter can plan appropriate prep.
- Permits: some work requires a permit from your municipality, for example changing exterior colours in a heritage area. Check with your city.
- Choosing colours: test your colours on a sample patch of wall before confirming.
Comparing several painting quotes helps you find a reliable painter, with prep work and a finish that meet your expectations.
