FAQ
Questions Edmonton Homeowners Ask Us Most
Straight answers on pricing, timelines, and what to expect before, during, and after your project.
Pricing & Quotes
How much does painting cost in Edmonton?
Painting costs in Edmonton vary a lot by project size, surface condition, and paint quality. As a general guide, interior painting typically runs from a few hundred dollars for a single room up to several thousand for a full home, and exterior projects on larger properties often reach into five figures. The only way to get an accurate number for your space is a free, no-obligation on-site quote, which is exactly what we offer, itemized in writing before any work starts.
Is your quote really free, with no obligation?
Yes. We walk the property with you, scope the work, and hand you a clear written estimate. There's no pressure to book and no hidden costs added once work begins.
Timeline & Scheduling
How long does a typical painting project take?
Most single rooms take one to two days from prep to final coat. A full interior repaint usually runs three to five days, and exterior projects typically take three to seven days depending on the size of the home and the weather. We'll give you a realistic timeline as part of your quote.
Can you paint the exterior of my house during an Edmonton winter?
Yes, with the right products. Standard exterior paint needs warmer, stable temperatures to cure properly, but we use winter-rated coatings and controlled application methods that let us paint safely in colder weather. It adds some time and cost compared to a summer job, and we'll walk you through that upfront.
How far in advance should I book?
Spring and fall are our busiest seasons in Edmonton, so booking four to six weeks ahead gives you the most flexibility on scheduling. We can often accommodate shorter notice too, just ask.
On the Job: Process & Cleanliness
How do you protect my floors, furniture, and landscaping?
Every job starts with covering and protecting what's not being painted: floors, furniture, fixtures, and outdoor plantings included. We treat your space like our own, and we clean up thoroughly at the end of each day, not just at the end of the project.
Will the paint smell, and can I stay in my home during the work?
Most residential jobs use low-odour, fast-drying paints, so you can usually stay in your home throughout the project. For rooms that need stronger products or longer dry times, we'll let you know in advance so you can plan around it.
Trust & Guarantee
Are you licensed and WCB covered?
Yes. FotisPainting LTD is fully licensed and WCB covered, so you're protected if anything unexpected happens on site. We're happy to provide documentation before work starts.
What happens if I'm not happy with the finished job?
Every project comes with a written guarantee. If something isn't right, we come back and fix it, no extra charge and no argument.
Custom & High-End Finishes
Do you offer custom colour consultations and high-end or luxury finishes?
Yes. Beyond standard wall colour, we work with clients on custom palettes, designer paint lines, and premium finishes, from rich, deep tones to matte, chalky effects and precise feature-wall or cabinetry work. Our experience painting homes and businesses across Europe and North America shapes the same eye for detail we bring to high-end projects here in Edmonton.
