Painters in Old Strathcona, Edmonton

Old Strathcona is the historic heart of the south side, centred on Whyte Avenue's shops, theatres and the farmers' market.
Painting for homes in Old Strathcona
Homes include heritage houses from the early 1900s, walk-ups and newer condos near the avenue.
Older homes may have lead paint under newer layers, since it was common before the 1960s, so scraping and sanding need proper containment. Plaster walls also need different prep than drywall.
Homes on the valley edge get more wind and sun on their exposed sides, so paint and stain there fade and peel faster.
Detached garages along the lane often have the most weathered siding and doors on the property, and make a good small exterior job.
Basement suites need a quick, durable repaint between tenants, ideally in a neutral, washable finish.
