QUALITY PAINT
I choose to use the premier products from Benjamin Moore. Their products offer durability, excellent coverage, and low to zero VOCS. I will recommend the appropriate paint for your needs.
LOW VOC PRODUCTS
Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are unstable compounds. When they enter the air, they react with other elements to produce ozone. This is known to cause air pollution and health issues. At Walls Revived, I use only superior paint products low in VOCs.

Common FAQs

Considerations when Comparing Painting Quotes
When comparing painting quotes, it's best to consider the following:
- Detailed scope of work - areas to be painted or excluded
- How many coats of paint required to achieve the desired colour
- Which paint product is included (I separately list the paint products and quantities. I offer the paint at my discounted contractor pricing)
- I also offer the option to upgrade the paint product and I list the benefits of each product
- What's included in Standard Preparation. Mine includes repairing wall dents/gouges and filling holes up to 1/2" diameter, Pole sanding of walls, Removal/reinstallation of electrical plates, furniture poly (if required), and tarping of work area
- Accredited Business - My WCB, Insurance, and Journeyman Certificate #s are listed
-
I bought a new house, but don't have it yet. Can I get a quote?
Yes! I can quote from photos - If the realtor listing or virtual walk-through is still available, that is ideal.
I don't give quotes solely from square-footage. There are too many factors to consider.
-
Do you require a Deposit?
No, I invoice the total amount upon project completion.
-
Who does the work?
Me! It's the only way I can ensure quality control. If you have a particularly large project, I may bring in some help, but I'll let you know in advance.
-
Do you fix dents and gouges?
Yes. My goal is to make your walls look like new. I can even repair larger holes and replace drywall.
-
Will you help select colours?
Yes. Colour consult is included with estimate approval. I also have a great selection of popular Benjamin Moore neutral colours on large panels. Check out my panel list HERE
-
Do we have to stay/leave while you paint?
A lot of my clients work during the day and leave me with a key or door-code. While it is preferable that no one is home, it is not necessary that you vacate. Some clients schedule vacation getaways and come back to a refreshed home!
-
How do I pay you?
When you receive the invoice, it will list the payment options. I accept e-transfer (preferred), cheque, credit card (with a small fee), and cash.
-
What hours do you work?
I typically start at 8:30 am, but can be flexible to suit your schedule. I end my day around 5 pm, but I may stay a bit later to finish off a section. I also work weekends when required.
-
Are you Insured?
Yes! I have both WCB coverage and Liability Insurance.
-
Why do you use BENJAMIN MOORE paints?
Benjamin Moore is known for its High Quality Durable paint.
For walls, I quote using the REGAL line, but I give options to upgrade/change to SCUFF-X or AURA. If you're on a budget, I will suggest the contractor line (which is still comparable to other company's premium products)
I love to support local - Benjamin Moore stores are individually and locally owned... compared to large corporate or box stores.
-
Does the paint smell or have VOCs?
There is a slight odor with any paint. I only use quality products from Bejamin Moore, which have zero to minimal VOCs. I open windows when weather permits. I recommend you turn on your Central Ventilation System.
-
When can I re-hang my pictures?
I would recommned waiting 48 hours before re-hanging items that touch the wall.
-
New Flooring ~ Before or After painting?
In general, painting should happen AFTER new floors. (*the exception would be ceiling work)
Reason #1 - Installers can accidentally damage walls and trims as they remove old flooring or install new. Best results are achieved with continous painting rather than "touch-ups"
Reason #2 - Often baseboards are removed and reinstalled and left "as-is". I will caulk the tops, fill holes and repaint the baseboards.
Reason #3 - There could also be wall repair needed if the baseboads are lowered to accomodate a thiner flooring option. Ex. Vinyl flooring is not as thick as carpet and therefore the baseboards would be lowered when reinstalled.
