Painters in Sunnyside, Calgary
Directly across the Peace Bridge from downtown, Sunnyside pairs one of Calgary's best locations with some of its most charming streets. Early-1900s workers' cottages and character homes sit shoulder to shoulder with contemporary infills and low-rise condo buildings, all within the walkable Kensington district it shares with neighbouring Hillhurst. The Bow River pathway traces the community's southern edge, McHugh Bluff rises behind it to the north, and the Sunnyside C-Train station puts downtown one stop away. That century-old housing stock defines much of our painting work here: lath-and-plaster walls that need cracks properly repaired and primed before repainting, small-footprint rooms where clean masking keeps the job tidy, and original trim brought back with smooth enamel. Flood-era renovations mean many Sunnyside main floors have been rebuilt and repainted within the past decade, and owners now want colour updates and feature walls rather than full restorations. Condo and rental repaints round things out — low-VOC paint for occupied suites, board-coordinated scheduling, and quick, clean turnover work between tenants near the station.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you paint the older cottages and character homes in Sunnyside?
Yes — Sunnyside's early-1900s cottages are regular projects for us. We repair and prime original plaster walls, work neatly in smaller rooms, and enamel heritage trim so it looks crisp without losing its character.
How much does painting cost in Sunnyside?
A single room runs $450–$1,100, and full interiors typically land between $2,800 and $6,500 depending on size and plaster prep. Cabinet refinishing starts around $2,900. Every project gets a fixed written quote first.
Can you work with our condo board near the Sunnyside station?
Yes — we coordinate access, approved work hours, and insurance paperwork with your board or property manager before starting, and we use low-VOC paint so occupied suites stay comfortable throughout the repaint.
Our main floor was renovated after flooding — can you update the colours?
Definitely. Many Sunnyside homes had main floors rebuilt after 2013, and we regularly repaint those spaces in current palettes — walls, feature walls, and trim. The newer surfaces those renovations left behind take fresh colour beautifully with minimal prep.
