Painting in Forest Heights
Painting for Forest Heights' 1960s to 80s two-storeys, sidesplits and townhouses in west Kitchener, between Fischer-Hallman, Highland and Westmount.
Forest Heights sits on the west side of Kitchener, west of Westmount Road and north of Highland Road, and it was built in waves from the mid-1960s through the 1980s: sidesplits and bungalows first, then larger two-storeys and townhouse blocks as the neighbourhood filled toward Fischer-Hallman. The painting work reflects that. The earlier houses have popcorn or stipple ceilings, panelled rec rooms and oil-painted trim, while the 1980s two-storeys have drywall that has been repainted several times, oak kitchens that paint up well, and taller stairwells that need proper access. Bathrooms in these houses are a frequent call: peeling paint and mildew shadows over a fan that never moved enough air, which get washed, primed and repainted with a moisture-resistant finish while the fan problem is pointed out. Outside, aluminum siding and trim from the 1970s has chalked and paints well once washed, and wood fascia and garage-door trim has weathered on the south and west faces that take the afternoon sun. Forest Heights has a lot of long-held homes changing hands, so pre-listing neutral repaints and move-in repaints in the new owners' colours are both common, and the townhouse complexes bring exterior trim and door work on a regular cycle. The neighbourhood is inside Kitchener, so there is no travel charge.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more to work outside Kitchener?
Not for Waterloo, Breslau or the neighbouring communities. Travel inside the Region is built into the quote from the start rather than added afterwards, so the number you agree to is the number.
Does the age of the neighbourhood really change the price?
Yes, and more than the size of the house does. Plaster in a century home downtown takes more filling and sanding than drywall in Doon South, old oil trim needs a bonding primer, and popcorn ceilings in a 1970s sidesplit take more paint and more time than a flat ceiling. The site visit is what turns those differences into a number.
