FAQ

Questions we get asked a lot.

If yours is not here, call 613-217-4127 or email info@petespainting.ca and we will answer it straight.

What are your service areas?

We serve within about a 100 km radius of Napanee — including Kingston, Belleville, Picton, Gananoque, Perth, Tamworth and Prince Edward County. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call and ask. The answer is usually yes.

How do I get a quote?

Call or text 613-217-4127, or send a request through this site. We come out, look at the work, talk through the options with you, and you get a clean written quote on one page with a fixed price. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation.

How often should the exterior of my home be painted?

Every 5 to 10 years, depending on the surface and how exposed it is. South and west faces weather fastest. If you are seeing chalking, cracking or bare wood, it is time.

What products do you use?

Dulux. It is part of CIL, a Canadian-owned company that makes its paint here in Canada. We pick the product to suit the surface and tell you by name what is going on your walls before we start.

Do you take a deposit?

Yes — a deposit books your start date, and your dates go in writing. The deposit protects both of us: you get certainty on the calendar, we get the commitment to hold it.

When can I wash my walls after they have been painted?

Let the paint cure for about two weeks before washing. It will be dry to the touch long before that, but curing is what gives you the durable finish.

Is there upkeep on an exterior paint job?

Give the exterior a wash once a year. It takes an afternoon and it noticeably extends the life of the paint.

Do you do small jobs, or just whole houses?

Both. A single room, a stairwell, a set of doors — all fine. We have minimums so a small job still covers a proper crew day, and we will tell you that up front rather than after.

Will you move our furniture and protect the floors?

Yes. Furniture is moved and covered, floors are protected, and the site is left livable at the end of every day. Prep and protection are part of the price, not an extra.

What happens if something is not right?

You tell us, and we fix it. We walk every wall with you before we call a job done, and if something turns up afterwards we come back. A complaint handled well is worth more to us than a job we walked away from quietly.
