Drywall and Ceiling Repair and Painting

In 2013, we had our entire house repiped and the process left several holes in drywall and ceilings. The painter from Urban Painter came in, repaired all of that damage as well as some previous water damage to a ceiling, and then he repainted all of the repaired surfaces. The work was completed on time, and the painter cleaned everything up to perfection. To this day, we can't see where the repairs were done. This company did their very best to work with our very restricted timetable, and the work was impeccable.

Basement Suite Remodel

We really enjoy working with the urban painter. They are very consistent and trustworthy. This is the 3rd time we have selected them for a project at our home. Cabinet that were old needed repaint and they sprayed them, and it turned out amazing. It like we got a whole new kitchen for a faction of the cost. They also covered and protected the floor and furniture really well with drop cloths and plastic, and even cleaned up the mess when they were finished working. They final invoice was the price we agreed and not a penny more. Great work to the guys at urban paint!

Great team

Big house getting ready for sale. Almost the entire upstairs, basement and garage. Sent enough painters to finish in good time. All did excellent work.

A fair number of repairs of nicks and imperfections are now almost invisible.

I would definitely use The Urban Painters again.

Efficient, detail oriented and on time paint project

We had The Urban Painter come in to repaint our cabinets, and the majority of our house, which included the trim, walls, and ceilings. The job was executed ahead of schedule, and the attention to detail was really nice. Our house is a heritage home, and as a result has a number of nooks and cranies. They were able to deal with these characteristics with ease. The quality of the job was high, and was a good trade off between value and quality. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family.

Various jobs

I found Urban Painter a couple of years ago and had them completely strip and paint the front balcony of my house. They did a great job, so I had them back for an interior paint job before selling the same house this year.

Last month I needed to do an update to my rental condo once my tenant moved out. Jon came out to provide a quote and was a big help with my planning. He had an interior decorator help me with paint colours and connected me with an excellent contractor to do the reno work. The entire project was completed very smoothly, so I'll definitely get in touch when the next job comes up!

Kitchen cabinets and Trim work

We had first hired Urban Painter to touch up some of the trim work in our home. They scraped, prepared and painted the window frames and baseboards. It was a big job and they took their time to prepare for the paint rather than just throwing paint on top of the original problem. We were very pleased. As a result we inquired whether they had the expertise to paint kitchen cabinets. A job we were dreading due to the mess and the inconvenience we were imagining. Again, we were more than pleased with the final product.

Interior painting of two story home

We had a great experience when The Urban Painter painted the interior of the first floor of our house and part of the second floor.

Part of the job was the removal of wallpaper in some areas. The painting was flawless, which was especially impressive on the surfaces that had been wallpapered for decades.

The estimate was reasonable. As the job progressed they encountered a couple of areas where more coats of paint were required due to the dark paint colour being covered, and because of a couple of surfaces needed to be painted that I had not identified when the estimate was prepared. They kept us apprised of the changes to the price and secured our approval before proceeding. So the bill contained no surprises.

We also found them timely, arriving on time every day and completing the job in a reasonable time. They were pleasant to deal with and also cleaned up the work sites at the end of each day.

We would give The Urban Painter our highest recommendation.

Interior Paint

We recently had our home painted by The Urban Painters.

We had three bids submitted by reputable painting contractors. The decision to have The Urban Painters do our painting was based on their very thorough presentation during the quote process and the competitive bid
We couldn't be happier with the painting they did . The very friendly and courteous crew showed up on time everyday and before any work was started they reviewed the details with us. At the end of each day the paint supplies were neatly stored away and all dust etc. was vacuumed up before they left. On the final day a walk through was done to ensure we were happy with the work completed.

We would, without reservation recommend The Urban Painter if you need painting done and expect professional results.

Interior painting

I contracted with The Urban Painter to completely re-paint all walls on my first floor. They gave me a reasonable price to do the job, as well as did a very professional clean job. The process from the estimate, to the crew doing the job were highly train professionals who knew what they were doing and how to do the job for maximum result. To ensure that the completion date would be met, they brought in part of a second crew to ensure they met the promised completion date. I have no reservation in recommending the Urban Painter for your painting project.
We will be contacting Jon when we are ready to do our next painting project.
