Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with iPaint Painting
General
Common questions about iPaint Painting, our process, and what to expect.
How do free estimates work?
Getting a free estimate from iPaint Painting is simple. Call us at 780-938-9555 or fill out our online form, and we'll schedule a convenient time to visit your home or business. Our estimator will walk through the project with you, take measurements, discuss colour options, and provide a detailed written quote, usually within 24–48 hours. There's no pressure and no obligation.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. Every iPaint Painting project is completed by our own in-house team of trained painters. We never subcontract work because quality control matters to us. Our crew members are background-checked, insured, and held to the same high standard on every job. That's how we maintain the consistency and craftsmanship our Edmonton clients expect. Learn more on our About page.
What products do you use?
We use premium paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams on every project. These products offer superior coverage, durability, and colour retention compared to builder-grade paints. For cabinet refinishing, we use specialized waterborne lacquers and conversion varnishes that deliver a factory-smooth finish. We're happy to recommend specific products based on your project needs.
What does your 5-year warranty cover?
Our 5-year written warranty covers peeling, blistering, flaking, and excessive fading on all surfaces we paint, as long as the issue is caused by workmanship or product failure, not physical damage or neglect. If something doesn't look right, we come back and fix it at no charge. This warranty is one of the strongest in the Edmonton painting industry, and it's backed by our 13+ years in business.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. iPaint Painting operates as Cabinet Refinishing Experts LTD and carries full commercial general liability insurance and Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) coverage. We're a registered Alberta business with over 13 years of operations in Edmonton. We're happy to provide proof of insurance upon request, many commercial and strata clients require it, and we have that documentation ready to go.
Interior Painting
Questions about painting the inside of your home, costs, timelines, and prep work.
How much does interior painting cost in Edmonton?
Interior painting in Edmonton typically costs between $3 and $6 per square foot, depending on the scope of prep work, the number of coats, ceiling height, and the products used. A standard bedroom usually runs $400–$800, while a full home repaint for a 1,500 sq ft house can range from $5,000 to $10,000. We provide detailed, line-item quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for. Read the full cost breakdown.
How long does it take to paint a room?
A single room, walls and ceiling, typically takes one full day for our crew, including prep, two coats, and cleanup. Rooms with extensive patching, dark-to-light colour changes, or detailed trim work may take a day and a half. We always provide a project timeline before we start so you can plan accordingly. Read the full timeline guide.
Do I need to move my furniture?
You don't have to. Our team handles furniture moving as part of every interior painting project. We shift items to the centre of the room or into adjacent spaces, then cover everything with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Once painting is complete, we move everything back into place. Read more about our prep process.
What's included in surface prep?
Proper surface prep is the foundation of a lasting paint job. Our standard prep includes filling nail holes and small cracks, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps around trim and baseboards, cleaning surfaces, and applying primer where needed. For older homes, we also address peeling paint, repair damaged drywall, and skim-coat where necessary. Every quote specifies exactly what prep work is included.
Exterior Painting
Questions about painting the outside of your home, timing, durability, and surfaces.
When is the best time to paint exterior in Edmonton?
The ideal window for exterior painting in Edmonton is mid-May through mid-September, when daytime temperatures consistently stay above 10°C and humidity levels are manageable. We start booking exterior projects in March and April, so early scheduling guarantees your preferred dates. Read the full seasonal guide.
How long does exterior paint last?
A professionally applied exterior paint job in Edmonton typically lasts 7–10 years, depending on sun exposure, the quality of prep work, and the products used. South-facing walls fade faster due to UV exposure, while sheltered areas may last even longer. Read the full durability guide.
Do you paint in cold weather?
For exterior painting, we require daytime temperatures above 5°C and rising, most premium paints need this minimum to cure properly. Edmonton's freeze-thaw cycles make early spring and late fall risky for exterior work, so we plan accordingly. Interior painting, on the other hand, is a year-round service since we work in climate-controlled environments. Winter is actually a great time to book interior projects.
What surfaces can you paint?
We paint virtually every exterior surface, wood siding, stucco, hardie board, aluminum and vinyl siding, brick, concrete foundations, fascia, soffits, window frames, doors, decks, fences, and garage doors. Each surface requires specific prep and product selection. See the full list of surfaces we paint.
Cabinets
Questions about cabinet painting, refinishing, and refacing services.
What's the difference between cabinet painting, refinishing, and refacing?
Cabinet painting involves applying a new painted finish over your existing cabinet boxes and doors, it's the most affordable option and works great for solid wood or MDF cabinets. Cabinet refinishing includes stripping the old finish and applying new stain or lacquer, ideal when you want to preserve or change a natural wood look. Cabinet refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts entirely while keeping the existing cabinet boxes. Read the full comparison.
How long does cabinet refinishing take?
A standard kitchen cabinet refinishing project takes 5–7 business days from start to finish. This includes removing doors and hardware, cleaning and degreasing, sanding, priming, applying multiple coats of finish, and reinstalling everything. We keep disruption to a minimum so you can still use your kitchen. Read the full timeline.
Can you change the color of stained cabinets?
Absolutely. Converting stained cabinets to a painted finish is one of our most popular services. The process involves thorough cleaning, sanding, applying a bonding primer designed for previously stained surfaces, and then finishing with multiple coats of high-quality cabinet paint or lacquer. We can go from dark stain to bright white, or any colour you choose. Read the full stain-to-paint guide.
How much does cabinet painting cost?
Cabinet painting in Edmonton typically costs between $3,500 and $7,000 for an average-sized kitchen (20–30 doors), depending on the number of cabinets, the condition of the existing finish, and whether you want a brushed or sprayed finish. Sprayed lacquer finishes cost more but deliver a smoother, more durable result. Read the full cost breakdown.
Specialty Services
Questions about epoxy flooring, popcorn ceiling removal, and deck staining.
How long does epoxy flooring last?
A professionally installed epoxy floor coating lasts 10–20 years in a residential garage with normal use. The key factors are proper concrete preparation (diamond grinding, not just acid etching), the quality of the epoxy system, and the number of coats applied. Our epoxy flooring system includes a moisture barrier, base coat, colour flakes, and a clear polyaspartic topcoat for maximum durability and UV resistance.
Is popcorn ceiling removal messy?
Popcorn ceiling removal does create dust and debris, but our team takes extensive precautions to contain it. We cover all floors and furniture with plastic sheeting, seal off adjacent rooms, and use specialized tools that minimize airborne particles. After scraping, we skim-coat the ceiling for a smooth finish and clean up thoroughly before we leave. Most rooms can be completed in a single day.
How often should I re-stain my deck?
In Edmonton's climate, most decks need re-staining every 2–3 years for semi-transparent stains and every 3–5 years for solid stains. Heavy sun exposure, foot traffic, and our harsh winters accelerate wear. A quick test: if water no longer beads on the surface, it's time to re-stain. Regular maintenance extends the life of your deck and prevents costly wood replacement down the road. Check out our deck and fence staining service for details on our process.
Cabinet Painting
Questions about painting kitchen cabinets, costs, timelines, and products.
How much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets in Edmonton?
Kitchen cabinet painting in Edmonton typically costs $3,000 to $8,000, depending on kitchen size, door count, cabinet condition, and paint system. Sprayed lacquer finishes cost more but deliver a smoother, more durable result. Read the full cost breakdown.
How long does it take to paint kitchen cabinets?
A typical Edmonton kitchen cabinet painting project takes 5 to 10 business days from start to finish, including disassembly, prep, priming, spraying, curing, and reinstallation. See the day-by-day timeline.
Can you use my kitchen while the cabinets are being painted?
Yes, with some adjustments. We remove doors and drawers for off-site or dedicated-area spraying, but leave the cabinet boxes in place so you can still access shelves and countertops throughout the project. Learn what to expect.
What type of paint do you use on cabinets?
We use professional cabinet-grade paints designed specifically for high-use surfaces: Benjamin Moore Advance, Sherwin-Williams ProClassic, and industrial cabinet coatings applied via HVLP spray for a factory-smooth finish. See the full product guide.
Is it worth painting cabinets instead of replacing them?
If your cabinets are structurally sound, professional painting delivers a like-new look at one-third to one-fifth the cost of full replacement. Most Edmonton homeowners save $10,000 to $30,000. Read the full comparison.
Cabinet Refacing
Questions about cabinet refacing costs, timelines, door styles, and upgrade options.
What is the difference between cabinet refacing, refinishing, and buying new cabinets?
Cabinet refacing replaces your doors, drawer fronts, hinges, and handles while keeping your existing cabinet boxes. Refinishing strips and re-coats existing surfaces. New cabinets tear everything out and start from scratch. See the full comparison with Edmonton pricing.
How much does kitchen cabinet refacing cost in Edmonton?
Full kitchen cabinet refacing in Edmonton typically ranges from $6,000 to $15,000, depending on the number of cabinets, door material, and hardware selection. Read the full cost breakdown.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
Most kitchen cabinet refacing projects are completed in 3 to 5 days. Compare that to a full kitchen renovation which can take 6 to 12 weeks. Your kitchen stays functional throughout. See the project timeline.
What door styles are available for cabinet refacing?
We offer a full range of cabinet door styles including shaker, flat panel, raised panel, and modern slab designs. Doors are available in solid wood, MDF, and thermofoil. Explore all door style options.
Can I change my cabinet layout or add features during refacing?
Yes. While refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes in place, we can add soft-close hinges on every door, upgrade all drawer slides to full-extension soft-close, add pull-out shelves, and install crown moulding or light rails. See all upgrade options.
Industrial Painting
Questions about industrial facility painting, coatings, safety, and scheduling.
How much does industrial painting cost in Edmonton?
Industrial painting costs in Edmonton vary significantly based on facility size, surface condition, coating system, and access requirements. Small warehouses start around $15,000 to $30,000. Large facilities can run $50,000 to $200,000 or more. Read the full pricing guide.
Can you paint our facility while we continue operations?
Yes. We specialize in minimal-downtime scheduling for operational industrial facilities. Our phased approach allows us to work section by section while your operations continue. Learn about our phased approach.
What types of industrial coatings do you apply?
We apply a full range of high-performance industrial coatings including epoxy floor and wall systems, polyurethane topcoats, anti-corrosion primers, heat-resistant coatings, and chemical-resistant finishes. See all coating types.
What safety certifications does your industrial painting crew hold?
Our crew holds Painter and Decorator Certification, WHMIS, Fall Protection, Confined Space Entry, Lead Safety (RRP), and WCB coverage. All required for industrial painting environments in Alberta. See the full certification list.
How long does it take to paint an industrial facility in Edmonton?
Timeline depends on facility size, surface condition, and the coating system specified. A small warehouse (5,000 to 10,000 sq ft) typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Large facilities can take 4 to 8 weeks. See the full timeline guide.
Office Painting
Questions about painting offices, medical clinics, and commercial spaces in Edmonton.
Can you paint our office without disrupting business operations?
Absolutely. We offer after-hours, evening, and weekend scheduling specifically for occupied offices. We also do phased painting, completing one floor or section at a time to minimize disruption. Learn about our scheduling options.
How much does office painting cost in Edmonton?
Office painting costs in Edmonton depend on square footage, surface condition, and scheduling requirements. A single private office runs $500 to $1,200. A full floor or suite runs $3,000 to $15,000 or more. Read the full pricing guide.
Do you use low-VOC paint for offices?
Yes. For occupied offices, especially medical clinics, dental offices, and spaces where staff or patients are present, we use low-VOC and zero-VOC products from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. See which products we recommend.
What colours work best for professional offices?
Colour psychology matters in professional environments. Cool blues and greens promote calm and focus (ideal for medical and counselling offices). Warm neutrals convey professionalism (great for law and accounting firms). Bold accent walls create energy in creative agencies. See recommendations by office type.
Will you protect our office equipment and furniture during painting?
Yes. We carefully cover and protect all desks, computers, monitors, filing cabinets, and flooring with plastic sheeting and drop cloths. Server rooms and sensitive equipment get extra attention and isolation. Read our full protection protocol.
Stain & Lacquer
Questions about interior wood staining, lacquer finishing, railings, staircases, and trim.
How much does it cost to stain a staircase railing in Edmonton?
Staircase railing staining in Edmonton typically costs $800 to $2,500, depending on the number of spindles, the type of wood, and whether the existing finish needs to be stripped first. A simple clear coat refresh on bare wood costs less than a full dark-to-light colour conversion. Read the full cost breakdown.
What is the difference between stain and lacquer?
Stain penetrates the wood to add colour, while lacquer is a clear protective topcoat that seals and hardens the surface. Most projects require both: stain for the colour you want, then two to three coats of lacquer for durability and sheen. Read the full explanation.
Can you change the colour of already-stained wood?
Yes. Going darker is straightforward. Going lighter (dark oak to natural or white) requires stripping the old finish down to bare wood first. We handle both directions regularly on railings, trim, and doors throughout Edmonton homes. Read about the process.
What products do you use for interior wood staining?
We use professional-grade stains from Minwax, General Finishes, and Varathane, paired with M.L. Campbell and Sherwin-Williams lacquers. Product selection depends on wood species, desired colour, and durability requirements. See the full product guide.
How long does a stain and lacquer project take?
A single railing takes 1 to 2 days. A full staircase with spindles runs 2 to 4 days. Whole-home woodwork (railings, trim, doors) can take 1 to 2 weeks. Each coat of lacquer needs proper dry time between applications. Read the full timeline.
Drywall & Surface Repairs
Questions about patching, texture matching, water damage, and plaster repair.
How much do drywall repairs cost in Edmonton?
Small patches run $150 to $300. Medium repairs (larger holes, multiple patches) cost $300 to $800. Extensive water damage or full-wall repairs can run $800 to $2,000 or more. We include texture matching and priming in every repair quote. Read the full cost breakdown.
Can you match my existing wall texture after a drywall repair?
Yes. We match orange peel, knockdown, stipple, smooth, and custom textures so repairs blend invisibly with the surrounding wall. Texture matching is included in every drywall repair we do. Read about our texture matching process.
Do you repair water-damaged drywall?
Yes, after the source of the leak has been fixed by a plumber or roofer. We remove damaged sections, check for mould, replace drywall, tape, mud, texture match, and paint. Edmonton's freeze-thaw cycles make burst pipes a common cause. Read about the full process.
Can you repair plaster walls in older Edmonton homes?
Yes. We repair cracked, crumbling, and damaged plaster in character homes throughout Glenora, Highlands, Old Strathcona, and other established Edmonton neighbourhoods. We can repair the original plaster or overlay with new drywall. Read about plaster repair options.
Do I need to paint after drywall repairs?
Yes, always. Bare compound absorbs differently than the surrounding painted surface, creating visible "flashing." Proper primer followed by topcoat ensures the repair disappears completely. We include priming and painting in all repair quotes. Read why painting is essential.
Epoxy Flooring
Questions about garage floor epoxy, metallic finishes, cure times, and maintenance.
How long does epoxy flooring last?
A professionally installed epoxy floor lasts 15 to 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Lifespan depends on concrete prep quality, coating thickness, traffic level, and whether a polyaspartic topcoat is applied. Edmonton's road salt and freeze-thaw cycles make proper installation critical. Read the full durability guide.
Can you install metallic epoxy flooring?
Yes. Metallic epoxy creates stunning, one-of-a-kind flowing patterns using metallic pigments. Every floor is unique. Popular for garages, basements, and entertainment spaces. Read about metallic epoxy options.
What about moisture issues in my concrete?
Moisture is the number one enemy of epoxy adhesion. We test every slab before installation using calcium chloride or relative humidity probes. If moisture levels are too high, we apply a moisture barrier system first. Edmonton basements are especially prone to ground moisture. Read about moisture testing.
How long does epoxy flooring take to cure?
Light foot traffic is safe after 24 hours. Full cure takes 72 hours. Vehicle traffic should wait 5 to 7 days. Polyaspartic systems cure faster, often allowing same-day return to service. Edmonton's cooler garage temperatures in winter can extend cure times. Read the full cure timeline.
How do I maintain my epoxy floor?
Sweep regularly and mop with a mild cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, vinegar, and ammonia-based products. In Edmonton garages, rinse road salt promptly during winter and use entry mats. Inspect annually for chips that can be touched up. Read the full maintenance guide.
Deck & Fence Staining
Questions about deck and fence staining, timing, products, and maintenance in Edmonton.
When is the best time to stain a deck or fence in Edmonton?
May through September, when temperatures consistently stay between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius with no rain in the 48-hour forecast. Edmonton's short staining season means early booking is essential. Read the seasonal guide.
How often should I re-stain my deck or fence in Edmonton?
Decks every 2 to 3 years, fences every 3 to 5 years. Edmonton's harsh winters (UV, snow, freeze-thaw) accelerate wear compared to milder climates. The water bead test helps you check: if water soaks into the wood instead of beading, it is time to re-stain. Read the full maintenance schedule.
Should I stain or paint my deck and fence?
Stain for a natural wood look and easier maintenance. Stain penetrates the wood and will not peel. Paint sits on the surface and can chip or peel over time, especially on horizontal deck boards. For cedar and pressure-treated wood, stain is almost always the better choice. Read the full comparison.
What is the difference between transparent, semi-transparent, and solid stain?
Transparent shows all wood grain but offers the least UV protection (1 to 2 year life). Semi-transparent shows grain with added colour and protection (2 to 4 years). Solid hides grain completely with maximum protection (4 to 6 years) but can peel. We recommend semi-transparent for most Edmonton decks. Read the full stain type guide.
Can you stain new wood right away?
It depends on the wood type. Pressure-treated lumber needs 3 to 6 months to dry before staining. Cedar can be stained sooner, usually 2 to 4 weeks after installation. Edmonton's dry climate helps wood cure faster than coastal areas. Read the timing guide.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Questions about removing popcorn and stipple ceilings, asbestos testing, and finish options.
How long does popcorn ceiling removal take?
One to two days for an average room, three to five days for a whole house. The process includes wetting, scraping, skim coating, sanding, priming, and painting. Painted-over popcorn takes longer due to extra wetting and scraping. Read the full timeline.
How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost in Edmonton?
$3 to $6 per square foot for standard removal to a smooth finish. An average room runs $500 to $1,200. A full house costs $3,000 to $8,000 depending on square footage, ceiling height, and whether the popcorn was previously painted over. Read the full cost breakdown.
Does my popcorn ceiling contain asbestos?
Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos in the ceiling texture. The only way to confirm is lab testing, which costs $30 to $50 per sample. If asbestos is present, certified abatement is required before removal. iPaint coordinates with accredited Edmonton abatement teams. Read about asbestos testing.
Can you apply knockdown texture instead of smooth?
Yes. Knockdown is a popular alternative that hides minor imperfections and adds visual interest. We also offer orange peel, skip trowel, and other modern textures. A perfectly smooth finish requires a Level 5 skim coat, which takes more labour. Read about texture options.
Is popcorn ceiling removal messy? How do you protect my home?
Removal is inherently messy, but we protect everything. Furniture is moved or covered in plastic, floors are covered with rosin paper and drop cloths, walls are masked, and HVAC vents are sealed. We clean up daily and leave your home cleaner than we found it. Read about our protection process.
Colour Consultation
Questions about choosing paint colours, consultations, and colour trends in Edmonton.
Is the colour consultation really free?
Yes. A professional colour consultation is included with every iPaint painting project at no extra charge. We help with wall colours, trim, ceilings, accent walls, and sheen selection. We bring large sample boards so you can see colours in your actual lighting. Read about what is included.
How do I choose the right paint colour for a north-facing room in Edmonton?
North-facing rooms receive cool, blue-toned light. Avoid cool greys and blues, which will look even colder. Warm whites, warm greys, soft yellows, and warm greiges work best. Edmonton's long winters mean less natural light overall, making warm tones especially important. Read the full guide.
What are the most popular paint colours in Edmonton for 2026?
Warm whites (Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace, Sherwin-Williams Alabaster), warm greiges (Revere Pewter, Agreeable Gray), deep greens, and rich navy accent walls. Edmonton homeowners are favouring warm, inviting tones and nature-inspired palettes. See the full colour trend guide.
Can you help me choose colours that work with my existing flooring and countertops?
Yes, that is exactly what the colour consultation is for. We match paint colours to your fixed elements (floors, countertops, cabinets, furniture) by identifying undertones and creating a coordinated palette. We bring fan decks and sample boards to your home. Read about the process.
Should I choose paint colours before or after I get my estimate?
Get your estimate first. Standard paint colours all cost the same, so colour choice does not affect pricing. Having the estimate in hand lets you focus on colour selection without worrying about budget. iPaint includes a free colour consultation with every project. Read the full answer.
Cabinet Making
Questions about custom cabinet design, materials, timelines, and pricing.
How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in Edmonton?
Custom kitchen cabinets in Edmonton range from $15,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on kitchen size, materials, and features. This includes design, fabrication, delivery, and professional installation. Custom cabinets cost more than big-box alternatives but fit your exact space perfectly. Read the full cost breakdown.
How long does it take to build and install custom cabinets?
6 to 12 weeks from design approval to installation. This includes measurement and design (1 week), shop drawings and approval (1 week), fabrication (4 to 8 weeks), and delivery with installation (2 to 3 days). Read the full timeline.
What materials do you use for custom cabinets?
Cabinet boxes are built with 3/4-inch cabinet-grade plywood (not particle board). Doors come in solid maple, oak, cherry, or MDF for painted finishes. Hardware includes Blum soft-close hinges and Tandem full-extension drawer slides. Read the full materials guide.
Can you build cabinets for non-standard or awkward spaces?
Yes, and that is the whole point of going custom. Angled walls, sloped ceilings, under-stair storage, oddly shaped kitchens in older Edmonton homes. Every piece is measured and built to fit your exact space with zero wasted room. Read about custom solutions.
What kind of finish do you apply to custom cabinets?
We offer painted finishes (sprayed latex or conversion varnish for a factory-smooth result), stained finishes (oil or water-based stain with lacquer topcoat), and natural clear coats. For kitchen cabinets, conversion varnish delivers the hardest, most durable finish available. Read about finish options.
General Contracting
Questions about commercial renovations, permits, timelines, and working during business hours.
How long does a commercial renovation take in Edmonton?
A small office refresh takes 1 to 2 weeks. A mid-size renovation runs 4 to 8 weeks. A full commercial buildout can take 8 to 16 weeks. Timelines depend on permit approvals, scope, and whether after-hours work is required. Read the full timeline guide.
How much does a commercial renovation cost in Edmonton?
$50 to $200 or more per square foot depending on scope. An office refresh (paint, flooring, lighting) runs $50 to $80 per square foot. Medical or dental buildouts run $150 to $250 per square foot due to specialized mechanical and electrical requirements. Read the full cost breakdown.
