Premium Products Only
We don't cut corners with cheap paint. Every interior project uses products from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or Cloverdale — selected specifically for the surface, room, and traffic level.

The Products Behind Our Results
We only use professional-grade interior paints from the brands trusted by certified painters across Canada. The product makes the difference — and we never compromise.
Benjamin Moore
The gold standard in interior paint. We use Benjamin Moore for homeowners who want the richest colour depth, smoothest application, and longest-lasting durability. Perfect for Highlands homes where dry winter air and temperature swings demand a product that holds up.
Sherwin-Williams
Trusted by professional painters for its exceptional coverage and washability. Sherwin-Williams interior lines deliver consistent colour, excellent hide, and outstanding durability — ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, hallways, and family rooms.
Cloverdale
A trusted Western Canadian brand that delivers professional-grade performance at a great value. Cloverdale's interior lines offer excellent adhesion and durability — especially well-suited for Alberta's unique climate conditions and the dry indoor air Highlands homeowners know well.
During your free colour consultation, we'll recommend the best product line for each room based on surface type, traffic level, desired sheen, and your budget. We'll also explain the differences so you can make an informed choice.

Why Highlands Homes Need Professional Interior Painting
Highlands is located in Edmonton, Alberta — directly east of Edmonton and home to over 72,000 residents. Unlike a typical city, Highlands operates as an urban service area within Edmonton, Canada's largest specialized municipality. Its housing stock spans five distinct construction eras, and each one presents unique interior painting challenges that generic contractors often miss.
1970s Foundations: Mills Haven, Brentwood & Village on the Lake
Mills Haven was one of Highlands's earliest residential developments, featuring bungalows and split-level homes built along streets branching off Sherwood Drive near Mills Haven Elementary School. These 1970s-era homes typically have textured drywall ceilings, wood-stained trim, and original latex paint that has yellowed badly under decades of fluorescent lighting. Brentwood, situated north of Baseline Road near Brentwood Elementary, shares the same era and the same challenges — heavy prep work is essential, including skim-coating over orange-peel textures and testing for lead-based primers used before 1978. Our Lead Safety (RRP) certification means we handle these older homes safely and in full compliance with Health Canada guidelines.
1980s Growth: Nottingham, Westboro & Woodbridge Farms
The 1980s brought two-storey builds and larger split-levels to Nottingham — a family-oriented neighbourhood near Nottingham School and Broadmoor Lake Park. Westboro and Woodbridge Farms, developed along the corridor between Sherwood Drive and Clover Bar Road, feature higher ceilings and open stairwells that require scaffolding and extended-reach equipment. Homes from this era often have multiple layers of paint — sometimes four or five coats over 40 years — creating adhesion issues that demand thorough sanding and bonding primer before any topcoat. Many Woodbridge Farms homes sit near Heritage Hills Golf Course, and homeowners preparing to sell in this established market frequently invest in whole-home repaints to maximize resale value.
1990s Premium: Broadmoor Estates & Heritage Hills
Broadmoor Estates features executive homes built in the 1990s with 3,000+ square-foot floor plans, vaulted ceilings, and formal dining rooms with crown moulding and chair rails. Located near Broadmoor Lake and the Edmonton Library, this neighbourhood demands precision painting with premium products — Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Sherwin-Williams Emerald — to match the calibre of the homes. Heritage Hills, set along Heritage Drive south of Baseline Road, introduced open-concept main floors to Highlands. Painting open-concept homes requires careful colour flow planning so that living rooms, kitchens, and hallways transition seamlessly rather than clash at every archway. If you're also considering updating your kitchen, our cabinet painting service pairs naturally with a whole-home interior repaint.
What's Included & Highlands Pricing

2000s Expansion: Lakeland Ridge, Clover Bar Ranch & Foxboro
Lakeland Ridge, developed between 2005 and 2015 south of Wye Road, is known for newer construction homes with 9-foot ceilings, open-concept layouts, and builder-grade flat paint that scuffs and marks within 3-5 years. Clover Bar Ranch, nestled east of Clover Bar Road near the North Saskatchewan River valley, features estate-style properties on larger lots. Foxboro, located along the eastern edge of Highlands near Brentwood Boulevard, has a mix of single-family homes and townhouse developments. All three neighbourhoods share a common problem: builders use the cheapest flat latex paint possible, and Alberta's dry winter air combined with forced-air heating accelerates wear. We typically recommend upgrading to an eggshell or satin sheen — more washable and significantly more durable in high-traffic areas.
2010s–Present: Emerald Hills & Summerside Estates
Emerald Hills, Highlands's newest major development, features modern two-storey homes with soaring foyer ceilings, open-riser staircases, and expansive great rooms that require colour flow planning across 2,500+ square feet of visible interior. Located south of Wye Road near Emerald Hills Leisure Centre, these homes look impressive but the builder paint rarely holds up past the 3-year mark. Summerside Estates, situated near Festival Place — Highlands's premier performing arts centre along Festival Lane — presents similar challenges with quick-scuffing flat paint on high-traffic surfaces. For homeowners in these newer communities, a professional repaint with Sherwin-Williams Duration or Benjamin Moore Aura transforms a tired-looking interior into one that looks and feels like the day you moved in. Need the exterior done too? Our exterior painting team can handle both projects back-to-back for maximum efficiency.

Interior Painting FAQs — Highlands
Straight answers to the questions Highlands homeowners ask most about interior painting costs, preparation, products, and timelines.
How much does interior painting cost in Highlands?
Interior painting in Highlands ranges from $3,500 for a modern infill to $15,000+ for a full heritage restoration on Ada Boulevard. Character homes with original plaster walls, fir trim, and 8 to 10 rooms typically cost $5,000 to $10,000. Mid-century ranches in Virginia Park and Beverly Heights run $3,500 to $6,000. Every estimate includes full surface preparation, premium products, and a 5-year written workmanship warranty. No hidden fees.
Do Highlands heritage homes need special paint preparation?
Yes. Highlands homes built between 1912 and 1940 commonly have plaster walls rather than drywall, original fir and cedar trim with intricate profiles, and lead-based paint beneath accumulated layers. Our team holds Lead Safety (RRP) certification and follows Health Canada protocols. Plaster walls need assessment for cracks and delamination. Original trim requires hand-sanding to preserve period details. Some homes along Ada Boulevard carry Historic Resource designation, which may include specific colour or material requirements. We research each home's status before preparing our estimate.
What paint colours work best for Highlands character homes?
Highlands character homes look best with colours that complement their architectural period. Craftsman homes (the most common style) pair well with warm, earthy tones: sage green, slate blue, warm grey, and cream for walls, with crisp white or warm ivory on trim. Tudor Revival homes suit deeper, richer colours. Benjamin Moore's Historical Collection includes period-appropriate palettes. During your free colour consultation, we consider your home's natural light (north-facing Ada Boulevard homes get very different light than south-facing streets), original architectural details, and the way rooms connect visually.
How do you handle plaster walls when painting in Highlands?
Plaster walls in Highlands homes require different preparation than drywall. We assess every wall for cracks, delamination (plaster pulling away from the lath), and moisture damage. Hairline cracks are filled with elastomeric filler. Larger cracks may need re-taping or skim-coating. Areas where plaster has delaminated get re-anchored with plaster washers before finishing. Surfaces are primed with bonding primer to ensure proper adhesion. The result is smooth, solid walls that hold paint beautifully for years. This preparation is essential and included in every Highlands estimate.
How long does interior painting take in a Highlands home?
A standard character home in Highlands takes 5 to 8 days due to the detailed preparation required for plaster walls and original woodwork. Modern infills take 3 to 5 days. Mid-century ranches in Virginia Park take 3 to 5 days. Full heritage restoration projects on Ada Boulevard with Historic Resource considerations can take 10 to 14 days.
