Your home’s exterior is its first defense against the intense Ottawa sun, snow, and seasonal changes. But when the paint starts to fade, chip, and peel, it not only diminishes your curb appeal, it leaves your home vulnerable. A high-quality exterior paint job is one of the most important investments you can make, but the process can feel daunting. At Flying Colours Ottawa Painters, we specialize in delivering a durable, beautiful exterior finish using a process that is clear, professional, and stress-free from start to finish.
We believe in being transparent about cost. While the final price depends on the size of your home, the condition of the siding, and the amount of prep work required, here are realistic starting price ranges for typical exterior painting projects in our area.
| Home Style | Price Range | What It Typically Includes |
|---|---|---|
|
Ranch-Style Home (1,200 sq ft) |
$8,000 - $12,000 | Siding, trim, and soffits for a standard single-story home. |
|
Average Two-Story (2,500 sq ft) |
$12,000 - $20,000 | Full exterior repaint on a typical two-story layout. |
|
Large or Complex Home (4,500+ sq ft) |
$20,000 - $40,000+ | Larger homes, often with complex architectural details or extensive prep needs. |
A lasting exterior paint job is 80% preparation.
Our process is designed to ensure your new paint looks beautiful and protects your home for years to come.
We carefully mask all windows, doors, and fixtures, and cover your landscaping to protect them from paint. We apply a high-quality primer to any bare wood or repaired areas to ensure a uniform and durable final coat.
An average-sized home typically takes 3-5 days, depending heavily on the weather and the amount of prep work required. We will provide a detailed project timeline before we begin.
The ideal season is from late spring to early fall (typically May through October) when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and there is low humidity. We monitor the weather closely to ensure we only paint in optimal conditions.
A professionally applied paint job using high-quality materials should last 10-120 years in Ottawa. The longevity depends on the quality of the prep work, the type of paint used, and the amount of direct sun exposure your home receives.
We use premium, 100% acrylic latex paints from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. These paints are specifically formulated to withstand the UV radiation, temperature swings, and moisture of the Ottawa climate, providing excellent color retention and durability.
No. Since we are working entirely on the outside of your home, there is no need for you to be there. As long as we have access to the exterior and any gates or fenced areas are unlocked, our team can complete the full project without disrupting your day. The only exception being when we need to paint your doors, we will need to open them. We are fully insured, and we treat every property with the same care and respect we would want for our own homes. You will receive daily updates so you can see exactly where we are in the process…from anywhere.
