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.

Choosing the right colour is one of the hardest parts of any interior painting project.

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 Old Strathcona 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 Old Strathcona 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 Old Strathcona Homes Need Professional Interior Painting
Old Strathcona is located in Edmonton, Alberta — directly east of Edmonton and home to over 72,000 residents. Unlike a typical city, Old Strathcona 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 Old Strathcona'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 Old Strathcona. 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.

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 Old Strathcona 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, Old Strathcona'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 — Old Strathcona'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 — Old Strathcona
Straight answers to the questions Old Strathcona homeowners ask most about interior painting costs, preparation, products, and timelines.
How much does interior painting cost in Old Strathcona?
Interior painting in Old Strathcona ranges from $3,000 for a modern infill to $15,000 for a full heritage restoration. Character homes along 83 Avenue and 84 Avenue with plaster walls, original fir trim, and multiple rooms typically cost $4,000 to $8,000. Modern infills and skinny houses with 3 storeys run $3,000 to $6,000. Bungalows in Ritchie, Bonnie Doon, and King Edward Park fall between $3,000 and $5,500. Every estimate includes full surface preparation, premium products, and a 5-year written workmanship warranty.
Do Old Strathcona heritage homes require special painting preparation?
Yes. Homes built before 1960 in Old Strathcona commonly have plaster walls (not drywall), original wood trim with multiple layers of accumulated paint, and lead-based primers beneath the surface layers. Our team holds Lead Safety (RRP) certification and follows Health Canada protocols for safe handling. Plaster walls need assessment for cracks, delamination, and moisture damage before any painting begins. Original fir and cedar trim requires hand-sanding to remove rough edges without destroying the period profiles. This preparation work is included in our estimate, never charged as an add-on.
What paint products work best for Old Strathcona's character homes?
Character homes in Old Strathcona benefit from premium products that provide rich colour depth and smooth application on older surfaces. We recommend Benjamin Moore Aura for main living spaces (exceptional coverage over patched plaster), Sherwin-Williams Emerald for high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens, and Benjamin Moore Advance for trim and millwork (self-levelling formula creates a factory-smooth finish on detailed profiles). For heritage restoration projects, we can source historically accurate colours through Benjamin Moore's Historical Collection.
How do you handle painting modern infills in Old Strathcona?
Modern infills on narrow 25-foot lots in Old Strathcona feature 3-storey open stairwells, tall feature walls, and open-concept main floors that require careful colour flow planning. The narrow floor plates mean every room is visible from the stairwell, so colour transitions need to be intentional. We use commercial-grade extension equipment to safely reach high walls and stairwell ceilings without damaging new drywall. Builder-grade flat paint is always replaced with eggshell or satin for better washability and durability.
How long does interior painting take in an Old Strathcona home?
A standard 3-bedroom bungalow in Ritchie or King Edward Park takes 3 to 5 days. Character homes near Whyte Avenue with plaster walls and original trim take 5 to 8 days due to the extensive preparation required. Modern infills with 3 storeys take 4 to 6 days. Heritage restoration projects with lead-safe protocols can take 7 to 12 days depending on scope. Our shop at 9821 33 Ave NW is just 10 minutes south via Gateway Boulevard. Call 780-938-9555 to schedule your free consultation.
