Interior painting in Stittsville
Stittsville has the newest homes of any Ottawa area we've profiled. About 34% of homes in the ward area were built from 2016 to 2021, and about 60% since 2006. So a Stittsville repaint is rarely a repair job. It's the first time anyone has chosen the colours.
What Stittsville homes are like
From the 2021 census for the Stittsville ward area:
- About 67% single-detached, plus about 23% row houses.
- About 84% owner-occupied, and only about 6% condos.
- About 2% of homes predate 1960.
The village itself is much older: Stittsville was founded in 1854 in the former Goulbourn Township. And building continues around it; Ottawa's west end accounted for 40% of the city's new-home sales in August 2026.
The first repaint in a new house
Builder paint. New homes are usually finished in one flat builder white that marks easily. Two coats of quality paint are included in every room price.
Nail pops and settling. New framing dries and shifts in the first years, which can push out drywall screws and open hairline gaps at corners. Filling ordinary nail holes and minor dents (up to about a dozen per room) is included. If there's more, a flat minor-prep line ($80 / $105 / $130) appears before you send anything.
Open-concept main floors. Large rooms (living room or open main area) are $1,270 lived-in. A darker accent wall is an $80 add-on.
Picking colours for a new house
Walls-only prices include four stock whites. Adding the ceiling opens our full curated palette, and the $85-per-room premium paint upgrade opens any colour, including a custom match. If you're not sure yet, write "decide later" in your quote; colours are confirmed before the crew is scheduled.

Three rooms in one order: three small lived-in rooms start at $2,125 before HST (the first at $795, then two at $665), and larger rooms follow the same first-room, next-room pattern.
Referred by a friend? Book through their referral link and you get $100 off your first job of $500 or more before HST. Your friend gets $125 as a credit or by e-transfer, paid 7 days after your job is completed and paid in full. It's one offer per job, so it can't be combined with FIRST10 or another code.
Once we've checked your photos, your price is locked. After you book, it never goes up unless you ask for more work or the crew finds hidden damage, and then you can say no and keep the original scope at the original price.

Questions from Stittsville homeowners
Is there a travel charge for Stittsville?
No. K2S is on our standard-price list.
My house is two years old. Does it need prep?
Usually only light prep. Washing, light scuff-sanding and filling ordinary nail holes and nail pops are in every room price.
Can I go from builder white to a dark colour?
Yes. Adding the ceiling opens the full curated palette, and the $85 premium paint upgrade opens any colour.
Is there a discount for painting the whole main floor?
Each room after the first is priced lower because setup is already paid for: small $665, medium $905, large $1,140 when lived-in.
