If you get more than one quote for your project, you will realize that every painting company charges either less or more for the “same” painting services.

Some painting companies have higher expenses than others; for example, some rent an office with a commercial warehouse, while others use their garage as a warehouse.

Some pay their painters the bare minimum, while others pay their painters a good wage.

Some painting companies are a one-man shop, while others have multiple staff members.

Some painters use good-quality tools and paint, while others use cheap paint and tools.

Some painters lease new vans/trucks, while others use regular transportation.

Some painters rush a job, while others take their time.

At the end of the day, for you (the client), it comes down to quality, time, and price.

Is the painting going to be done beautifully or subpar?

Is the painting going to happen tomorrow or sometime next month?

Is the price in your budget or not?

It’s a spectrum. Where does Green Time Painting & Design fall on this spectrum?

We charge a bit above the average painting company in Ottawa for the following reasons:

First and foremost, we pay our painters a good wage. Painting is hard on the body, and we believe in compensating our painters with a good wage to incentivize them to do the job properly and to be able to provide for themselves and their families. There are some painting companies in Ottawa that still pay their painters the same wages as 10 years ago, how can a painter be happy to paint your home when the price of everything around them has doubled but their wage has stayed the same?

We use good-quality tools. By using good-quality tools, the final finish will look and feel nice. If your painter uses cheap tools, the final finish will show brush marks and heavy roller textures, which do not look or feel nice.

We use good-quality paint like Benjamin Moore UltraSpec for painting projects like income properties and to freshen up properties before listing. But when it comes to painting houses that will be lived in for 7+ years and require durable walls, we prefer to use the better quality paint like Benjamin Moore Regal. The paint we use is ultimately up to you, the client. If you want to save some money, you can use the standard quality of paint, BUT it’s normally better to use the better quality paint because it covers better than the standard paint, which might end up taking fewer coats and ultimately costing you less in time and materials (which ends up costing you less). As the old saying goes, “Cheap is Expensive.”

Overall, we try our best to work within our clients’ budget. If you are looking for the absolute cheapest price, we are likely not the company for you. But if you are looking for a painting company in Ottawa with honest painters, good quality workmanship, and fast responsiveness, we might be a good fit for you.
