Interior painting

We had two rooms repainted, with some tricky areas. Gareth and Liam completed all the work within a day, and the results are great. Booking and billing were easy and straightforward, and communications were timely. I would hire English Painter again, thanks!

Condo painting

My condo needed a paint update. The walls hadn’t been painted since the year 2000 and the colour on the walls was probably popular sometime in the 1980’s! I found English Painters online and was very impressed with the information and the reviews already entered.
The communication between the office (Carol) to the start of the project was quick, efficient and very helpful. I had a lot of questions about the project – the type of paint to use, how to deal with issues afterwards – and the whole team – Carol, Liam and Gareth provided all the information I needed.
The actual execution was wonderful. Gareth and Liam have a passion for their work and it shows. From the initial wall prepping to the actual painting, they were consistently organized, detail oriented, clean and professional.
The result was beautiful and I’m very pleased. I would recommend their services highly!

Home Exterior Painting

Beautiful results! Our old bungalow was overdue for exterior painting. I was AMAZED by the transformation, within just a few days! The English Painter helped select the best colours to refresh and modernize the house. Precision and care was used to paint the "tricky" areas that required expertise and attention to detail. The results were flawless and beyond my expectations. The English Painter was reliable, on-time, trustworthy, and cheerfully answered all my questions. Overall a superb experience. Highly recommended!

Painted exterior of house.

From meeting Gareth for the estimate to completion of work, it's been a pleasure working with him and staff.

He completed the job above and beyond my expectations.

Arrive on time as advise, completed quickly and very clean. I will have him back to do a interior job in the future.

Painting of exterior home

Gareth & Liam did an AWESOME! Job painting the exterior of our two storey home. (Stucco and window trims)
Their attention to detail was exceptional, regardless of any unforeseen challenges. (Organized, clean and professional)

In addition, Carol was great at keeping us informed of the status of the timelines and any necessary requirements.

We are extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend English Painter to anyone who wants quality work

Exterior painting of two story tudor

Gareth and son Liam painted the entire exterior of our two story tudor home. A challenging job with extensive preparation, primer and two full coats over the course of eight days with a fantastic result. They paid great attention to all aspects of the job. On time, spotless cleanup at the end of each day, solid advice, and a real pleasure to do business with. There is obvious care and pride taken in their work. I would not hesitate to recommend the English Painter.

Perfect job

The English Painter painted recently the exterior of our house in Cedarvale.
Gareth and Liam did a fantastic job bringing out the beauty of our house by painting meticulously the many architectural details.
Gareth and Liam showed up singing and always in good spirits in their van every morning. This reflected in their work, you can see that they love what they are doing.
I wouldn‘t hesitate a moment to recommend them and we hope to work with them in future again.

Exterior Porch and Bay Window painting

Gareth and Liam painted my bay window, fascia and stained the porch to match. They were lovely to work with from start to finish. Gareth had lots of great insights and suggestions when he came to quote and they were fast, tidy and did a fantastic job. They touched up my screens where the paint had chipped and went above and beyond. The house looks great.

Bedroom, Office, Hallway Updates

Our experience with The English Painter was 100% positive. We knew right away that we had chosen the perfect company for us, so we hired them without hesitation or shopping around. We tend to be 'hard-to-please' with very high expectations. No previous contractors have ever left us as satisfied as The English Painter has. Gareth, Liam and Carol gave 110% from start to finish. Without question they totally deserve all the accolades they get.

Carol immediately impressed us by replying the same day of our reach, despite the fact that they were tightly booked with dozens of jobs on the horizon. Shortly after sending a few site photos, we received a very fair and reasonable quotation, with no change following an on-site visit by Gareth later that week. Scheduling was so smooth, they fit us in quickly and were extremely flexible when we had to split the project into two visits due to another contractor's delay. They finished exactly when they said they would, plus they were extremely patient with us throughout both jobs. We never once felt that they compromised any of the critical prep work or rushed our projects. Their communications skills are amazing and they are totally attuned to their clients needs.

Many rooms in our East York bungalow were sorely in need of this re-do. The bedrooms, den and hallways had not been dealt with for over 25 years. This company rescued us, it was truly like we won the lottery! The plaster badly needed repair, some of the corners were molding, there were huge cracks in the ceiling and all areas were in rough shape. None of the deterioration was a problem for these fellows. They gave as much attention to detail and pride in their craft to our closets, as with the main walls. Daily cleanup was spotless, they always left behind an immaculate workspace and great care was taken with protecting all our antiques and the hardwood. Consistently they went the extra mile, taking down light fixtures, ceiling fans and removing all accessories like doorknobs, etc. Gareth took extra time to offer us great advice and inspiration for additional tasks we needed to do. He even volunteered to come back and do touch up if needed whenever our delayed side door arrives.

Gareth and his son Liam provided us with good old-fashioned customer service, superior quality and 1st class workmanship. We hope to hire them again for our family room renovation. They are truly top-notch professionals and you could not be disappointed if you hire The English Painter. A solid family business that operates at the highest level who will always maximize your dollars spent. We can not thank them enough for the super results.

Great quality paint and wood finishing

Gareth and LIam from English Painter did a fantastic job on our front hall, stairs and upstairs landing. They fixed cracks in the walls and ceiling of our quirky old house, sanded, conditioned, stained and varnished tired wood trim, stair treads and bannister posts to make them look good as new (even managing to match exactly our wood floor stain) then they painted the trim, walls and ceilings up the stairway. Honestly, we feel like we have a new house. They cleaned up, worked around us - and everyone in our house including two dogs were home - and were a delight to welcome into our home. We'd recommend them highly. In fact, we've already booked for them to come back to do the rest of the house.
