What building types does iPaint Painting work on in Oliver?

iPaint Painting works on every building type found in Oliver, which has the most diverse housing and commercial stock of any neighbourhood in Edmonton. That includes 1960s and 1970s concrete high-rise towers, 1990s wood-frame condominiums, 2010s infill townhouses, heritage homes along Victoria Avenue, and commercial properties on Jasper Avenue and 124 Street. Each building era requires different preparation techniques and product selections, and iPaint Painting's 15 years of experience across all of them ensures proper results backed by our 5-year written warranty.

1960s-1970s Concrete Towers

Oliver's skyline is defined by mid-century concrete apartment towers, many built between 1962 and 1978. These buildings typically feature plaster-over-concrete walls, popcorn or stipple ceilings, and smaller room layouts with 8-foot ceilings. Painting these units requires careful wall preparation: filling hairline cracks with flexible filler, skim-coating uneven plaster, and priming with a high-adhesion bonding primer like Benjamin Moore Fresh Start. Popcorn ceiling removal (common in this era) adds $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot. iPaint Painting completes approximately 40 concrete tower units per year across Oliver alone.

1990s Wood-Frame Condominiums

The 1990s brought a wave of 3-to-4 storey wood-frame condo buildings to Oliver, particularly along 116 Street and near the Grandin LRT station. These buildings have drywall interiors with standard latex paint, making repaints more straightforward. The main challenge is drywall nail pops and joint cracking caused by wood-frame settling over 25 to 30 years. iPaint Painting addresses these with drywall compound, sanding, and spot priming before applying two coats of premium interior paint.

2010s Infill Townhouses

Modern infill development has transformed Oliver's residential side streets. These townhouses feature 9-foot ceilings, open-concept layouts, and builder-grade flat paint that scuffs and marks easily. Most homeowners contact iPaint Painting within 2 to 5 years of moving in to upgrade from builder-grade to premium Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Sherwin-Williams Emerald, both of which offer superior washability and a richer finish. A typical 1,600 sq ft Oliver townhouse repaint runs $5,000 to $8,500.

Heritage Homes and Commercial Properties

Victoria Avenue and the streets south of Jasper Avenue contain heritage-era homes dating to 1910 through 1940, featuring original wood trim, plaster walls, and character details that require careful masking and brush work. iPaint Painting uses period-appropriate colour palettes and premium exterior coatings rated for Edmonton's minus 30 to plus 30 temperature swing.

For commercial properties on Jasper Avenue and 124 Street, we apply durable, washable coatings with scuff resistance rated above 5,000 scrub cycles, and we schedule work around business hours to avoid disrupting operations.
