Excellent work done. Respectful, conscientious work ethic. Returned twice to make it perfect! Will ask to paint again in future!

Alex and his team completed the removal of my popcorn ceilings and painted the whole main floor. It was a bigger job than expected but Alex and his team were up for the challenge. Alex was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process.

Alex restored the exterior of my house in Kingston. He was very responsive during the process, and completed the job in a timely manner. Ended up paying a similar amount to the initial quote, which was a fair price

Alex did a fantastic job! He painted our entire house and then we had him back to do the kitchen cabinets as well! Very happy with the result. He has excellent attention to detail!

The Dalmatian Painting team did an excellent job with the exterior painting work (full exterior soffit and fascia refresh) for my home. Alex responded quickly, and ensured the work was done to very high standards. I am very pleased with the overall value and workmanship. Thank you!

Before you hire a painter in Ontario

No provincial licence required. Insurance and a clear written scope carry the weight here.

General liability insurance

Covers overspray on a neighbour's car, damage to flooring, and ladder incidents. Ask for the certificate.

WSIB clearance

Especially relevant for exterior work at height. Many small painting operations are owner-operators who may be exempt - ask them to confirm their status in writing either way.

Lead-safe work practices for pre-1980 homes

Sanding old paint can disturb lead. A painter working on an older home should be able to describe how they contain dust.

Questions worth asking

What preparation is included - filling, sanding, caulking, priming?
How many coats, and is primer counted as one of them?
What paint product and finish line are you using? (Brand alone does not say much; the product line does.)
Does the quote include ceilings, trim, doors and closet interiors, or walls only?
How are floors, furniture and fixtures protected?
