Kanata interior painting, by the numbers

Numbers first. Here is every line you'd pay for a Kanata interior, so you can set a budget before anyone visits. There's no home visit: you describe the job, see the price, then send three guided phone photos. Nothing is charged when you submit.

The data: what Kanata homes look like

Stat (2021 census, ward data)	Kanata North ward area	Kanata South ward area
Built 2001–2021	about 59%	—
Built 1961–1980	—	about 22%
Built in the 1980s	—	about 25%
In buildings of 5+ storeys	about 11%	—

Across both wards, about 38% of homes are row houses and about 47% are single-detached. Kanata North includes Kanata Lakes, Morgan's Grant, Marchwood and South March. Kanata South includes Bridlewood, Glen Cairn, Katimavik-Hazeldean and Trailwest.

What that means for your budget: in the north, most jobs are newer townhome hallways and suites. In the south, older paint and trim come up more often.

Line items, explained

Optional lines (small / medium / large)

• Dark-to-light colour change: $95 / $125 / $155. The $85 premium paint upgrade removes this line.

Three sample budgets

1. Kanata North townhome traffic route: front hall, stairway, upper hall and kids' rooms. Describe each level's hallway as its own room; hallways usually price as small. Add an $80 accent wall in a kid's room if you want a second colour. Open stairwells taller than one storey aren't in the standard service, so send a clear photo and we'll tell you before you book.
2. Kanata South living plus dining: living room large ($1,270), then the dining room as a second room ($905). Trim adds $360 + $300. Covering a dark 1990s colour adds the colour-change line unless you take premium paint.
3. Kanata North suite: open living area as large, bedrooms as medium. Ceilings are optional. Contractor and elevator rules come from your own building management, not from us. See condo painting.

Risk check: houses from 1960 to 1990

Health Canada says indoor paint from those years may hold smaller amounts of lead and advises against sanding or heat-gunning it. Read Health Canada's page and put your build year in your description.

Price lock, in three facts

• Once we've checked your photos, your price is locked.
• If the photos missed something, you see the new price before you book and can walk away at no cost.
• Nothing is charged when you submit; the deposit is taken once you accept the written contract. We confirm your start date and how long your job takes when you book.
