  • 5 star review  I meant to leave a review when I had my painting done last year. Very happy in all aspects of the professionalism of this company. I felt like I paid too much at the time but when complete it was well worth it. Don't hesitate to call Chris he will look after you.

  • 5 star review  We were extremely impressed with the communication from Chris, the friendliness of the painting crew, the expertise of the crew, their work ethic, their attention to detail (fixing things that we didn't know were even there), their professionalism, and the respect to our house, right down to the final sweeping of floors.

  • 5 star review  We had Chris and his team in to do painting for us March 18. The next day they encountered problems with the ceiling. Upon advising us what the next step would have to be, Chris was very diligent in bringing in someone to resolve the issue and the work was completed quickly. The walls were not in great shape and Chris was very helpful in explaining what kind of paint to use to get great results. Chris is, without question, very efficient, professional and easy to communicate with. It was a pleasure to have them in our home. We would definitely recommend Chris and his team.

  • 5 star review  We hired Chris and his team to paint a few rooms in our new home. From the day Chris came to provide an estimate to the final day of painting, he and his team were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Chris helped us make informed decisions about paint colours and styles, and he was always available for questions and advice via email or phone. During the painting process, his team worked neatly and carefully and did a professional job. We are very happy with the results and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wagg's Painting to our family and friends. Thank you so much!

FAQ

Why do painters wear white?

Historically…

In England, in the 18th Century painters started wearing white clothing because the most popular paint colour used was white. More specifically – Whitewash. Whitewash was a common substance used mostly on the exterior of a building. The liquid was a cheap substitute for real paint. It would rub off onto your clothing if you leaned against even after it was quite dry.

Now think about the fact that whitewash was used outside. This meant that painters had to work long hours in the heat and sun, and the best colour to repel the sun is white, it made sense to wear white.

And finally, when you got plaster or whitewash on your clothes, the painter would still look clean.

Later…

Union painters provided the next good reason to maintain the white and turned the regular white clothing into a uniform they were proud to wear. The union painters wanted to differentiate themselves from the non-union painters, who would wear white shirts and dark pants, so union painters started wearing white pants, white shirt and a bowtie. Yes, a bowtie. Making them look more professional than the non-union painters.

Today…

Today, painters that wear white do so for many reasons.

I wear white because it shows customers and potential customers that I am a Professional Painter.

Fun Fact:

In case you want to get technical, white is not actually a colour! Pure white is the absence of colour. In other words, you can’t mix colours to create white. Therefore, white is the absence of colour in the strictest sense of the definition.

What type of paint do you use?

Benjamin Moore. Most often we use Regal Ulti-Matte by Benjamin Moore on the walls. In kitchens and bathrooms we like to use Aura Bath & Spa by Benjamin Moore because of its superior durability in rooms with moisture.

What should I do to prepare for painting?

The following are things you can do to prepare for painting:

  • Remove any curtains and curtain rods from the walls we will be painting
  • Circle lightly with a pencil all the holes that do not need to be filled prior to painting because you will be using them again after painting.
  • Remove any light switch and receptacle covers from the walls we will be painting and set them aside. We suggest that you put them in a plastic bag with a zipper so you don’t lose any small screws
  • If you’re able to move the furniture, please move it to the centre of the room and away from the walls to be painted.
what kind of safety precautions do you use?

Wagg‘s Painting is fully insured. If one of our painters gets injured on your property or damages something – it’s our insurance that will take care of it and not yours.

do i need stay home while you are working?
No, you do not need to stay home.
can you help choose paint colours for my house?
Yes. Wagg‘s Painting can help guide you in choosing colours that work for you and your personality. We are not professional colour consultants but we do know the latest trends and can advise you. If you need a professional colour consultant we can recommend one to you.
can i be at home while you are painting?
Yes. You can be home while we’re painting. We don’t mind you watching; you may even learn something about painting. Ask us any questions while we paint
Do you also repair drywall?
Yes! If you need your wall repaired because of nail, screw or wall anchor hole – we will repair it. In fact, we can fix most of your drywall repairs.
how long will it take for work to begin?
The process begins the day that you are booked. We say process because painting is just a part of the overall experience. You can be sure that the preparation of the wall will take just as long as painting it. We take great pride in our wall preparation so you have the best finish.
what can i exprect in an estimate?
You can expect honest pricing that we stand by. The estimate is the price that you will be charged when the job is complete. As long is there is no change to the scope of work there will be no change to the price on the quote.
