Why us

Paint jobs fail at prep, not at colour

Anyone can roll a wall. What separates a coat that lasts eighteen months from one that lasts a decade is everything that happens before the first drop of finish paint.

Between chinook swings that move 25 degrees in an afternoon, hail that pits south-facing stucco, and UV at 1,045 metres, an exterior here works harder than the same wall in Vancouver or Toronto. We spec for that.

Process

First call to final walkthrough

Five stages, the same on every project — one bedroom in Beltline or a full exterior in Cranston.

  1. Call or request a quote

    Reach us at 587-500-0353 or send the form. We'll ask a few questions and book a walkthrough, usually within 48 hours.

  2. On-site walkthrough and written quote

    We measure, check surface condition, flag anything needing repair first, and send a fixed-price quote with scope, products and dates spelled out.

  3. Colour and product selection

    Sample boards on your wall, sheen recommendations by room, and a product spec matched to the surface — not whatever's on sale.

  4. Protection and preparation

    Everything covered and masked. Then wash, scrape, sand, fill, caulk and prime. This is the longest stage of every good paint job.

  5. Application and final walkthrough

    Coats applied to spec with full cure time between. Then we walk the job with you, list every touch-up you spot, and fix them before we invoice.

What it costs

Honest ranges, before you call

Most Calgary painting companies won't publish numbers. Here's what work in this city runs, so you can sanity-check any quote you get — ours included.

Typical Calgary painting price ranges, supply and labour, two coats over sound prepped surfaces
ProjectTypical rangeWhat moves the price
Single bedroom, walls only$400–$750Ceiling height, patch work, number of colours
Whole-home interior, 1,500–2,000 sq ft$4,500–$9,500Trim and doors, ceilings, stairwell height, occupied vs empty
Kitchen cabinet refinishing$3,200–$7,500Door count, current finish, sprayed on-site vs off-site
Exterior, stucco, two storey$5,500–$12,000Elevation access, repair work, siding vs stucco, trim detail
Deck or fence staining$700–$2,800Square footage, stripping old finish, railing complexity
Commercial interior$1.80–$4.50 /sq ftAfter-hours scheduling, coating spec, prep required

Ranges reflect typical Calgary market pricing and are for planning only — not a quote. Extensive drywall repair, lead-safe practices in pre-1980 homes, or heavy exterior restoration are priced separately. Your written estimate is always based on an in-person measure.

Questions

Painting, answered

The things Calgary homeowners ask us on almost every walkthrough.

How much does it cost to paint a house in Calgary?

A whole-home interior repaint in a 1,500–2,000 sq ft Calgary home typically runs $4,500 to $9,500 including materials and labour. A two-storey stucco exterior generally lands between $5,500 and $12,000. Price is driven by ceiling height, how much trim and how many doors are included, the amount of drywall repair needed, and whether the home is occupied while we work. We give a fixed written price after an on-site measure — never a phone estimate.

When is the best time to paint the exterior of a Calgary home?

Mid-May through late September is the reliable window. Most exterior coatings need surface and air temperatures above 10°C with no overnight drop below 5°C for proper film formation, and Calgary can deliver frost into early May and again by late September. We watch the forecast closely and will move a start date rather than apply paint that won't cure — a coat rushed in the wrong conditions will fail within two seasons.

How long does an interior painting job take?

A single room is usually one day. A typical three-bedroom home, walls and ceilings, runs three to five working days. Add two to four days if trim, doors and closets are included. Cabinet refinishing takes four to seven days because each coat needs full cure time before the next — that's what produces a hard, factory-flat finish instead of a soft one that chips.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Every estimate is free, on-site, and comes to you in writing with the scope, products, colours, price and dates. There's no obligation and no pressure. Call or text 587-500-0353, or send the quote form on this page and we'll book a walkthrough — usually within 48 hours.

Are you licensed, insured and WCB covered?

Yes to all three. Hi-Class Coating Ltd. holds a City of Calgary business licence, carries commercial general liability insurance, and maintains active WCB Alberta coverage for everyone on site. We'll send certificates on request — and you should ask any Calgary painting contractor for the same before work begins.

Can you paint kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them?

In most cases, yes — and it typically costs 20–30% of a full replacement. Solid wood, MDF and most thermofoil doors refinish well. We degrease, scuff-sand, apply a bonding primer and spray cabinet-grade lacquer or enamel. Doors and drawer fronts come off and get sprayed in a controlled setup; boxes and frames are sprayed in place with full masking. The result is a smooth, hard finish with no brush marks.

What paint brands do you use?

Primarily Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, with the specific line chosen for the surface and exposure — a scrubbable matte for a hallway, a moisture-resistant product for bathrooms, an elastomeric or acrylic masonry coating for Calgary stucco. If you have a brand preference, we'll work with it. We don't upsell you into a premium line where a mid-tier product does the same job.

Do I need to move out or empty the rooms?

No. We work in occupied homes all the time. Furniture gets moved to the centre of the room and wrapped, floors are fully covered, and we use low-VOC and zero-VOC products so the space stays livable. We can also work room by room so you always have somewhere set up. Everything goes back where it was before we leave.

Do you paint stucco, and how does Calgary weather affect it?

Yes. Stucco is common across Calgary and it takes a specific approach. Our freeze-thaw cycles — sometimes several in one chinook week — open hairline cracks that pull moisture behind the finish. We pressure wash, repair cracks with an elastomeric patch, prime with a masonry-appropriate primer, then apply a breathable acrylic or elastomeric topcoat that flexes with the substrate instead of splitting over it.

What kind of warranty do you offer?

We provide a written workmanship warranty on every job. If peeling, blistering, flashing or coverage failure traces back to our application or prep, we come back and correct it at no charge. The term and exact coverage are printed on your quote and invoice so there's nothing to hunt for later. Normal wear, impact damage and pre-existing substrate problems we flagged in writing aren't covered.

Do you work with builders, property managers and commercial clients?

Yes. We handle new-construction residential for builders, condo corridors and common areas for property managers, and interiors for offices, retail and restaurants. Commercial work is scheduled around your operating hours — evenings and weekends are standard for us. We can hold to trade schedules, provide COIs and WCB clearance letters, and invoice on your terms.
