About New Brunswick Painting

A fresh coat of paint is one of the most transformative and cost-effective improvements you can make to any property. Whether it is refreshing tired interior walls, protecting exterior siding from New Brunswick's demanding Maritime weather, refinishing kitchen cabinets, or staining a deck, painting touches nearly every part of a home or business. In NB, older homes in Saint John, Fredericton, and Moncton may have multiple layers of paint built up over decades, sometimes including lead-based coatings that require careful handling and proper removal procedures.

Choosing the right painter matters. Professional painting involves far more than rolling colour on a wall -- proper surface preparation, filling cracks and holes, sanding, priming, caulking, masking, and applying the right number of coats with the correct products for each surface are what separate a lasting professional finish from a DIY job that peels within a year. Exterior painting in NB is especially demanding: Maritime winters with freeze-thaw cycles, spring moisture, summer UV exposure, and salt air near the coast all take a toll on paint and coatings. Selecting products rated for Canadian climates and applying them under the right weather conditions is essential.

Painting Services We Cover

From initial colour consultation through final touch-ups, find the right professional for every phase of your painting project:

Interior Painting

Complete interior painting including walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and accent features. Professional interior painting in NB involves surface preparation, patching holes and cracks, priming stains or bare surfaces, cutting in clean edges, and applying two coats of quality interior paint. Proper prep work is the difference between a finish that lasts 3 years and one that lasts 10.

Expect $3-$6 per square foot for standard interior painting. A typical NB home interior (3-4 bedrooms) runs $3,000-$8,000 depending on condition of walls, number of colours, and trim work included.

Exterior Painting

Full exterior painting and staining for homes and buildings. NB's harsh Maritime climate -- freeze-thaw cycles, heavy spring rainfall, summer UV, and coastal salt air -- demands quality exterior products and proper application. Professional exterior painters handle pressure washing, scraping loose paint, sanding, priming bare wood, caulking gaps, and applying coatings in suitable weather conditions.

Exterior painting for a standard NB home runs $4,000-$10,000+ depending on size, number of storeys, siding type, and surface condition. Multi-storey homes requiring scaffolding cost more.

Cabinet Painting & Refinishing

Kitchen and bathroom cabinet painting is one of the most popular home updates in New Brunswick. Professional cabinet painting involves removing doors and hardware, thorough cleaning and degreasing, sanding, priming with bonding primer, and applying multiple coats of durable cabinet-grade paint or lacquer. The result is a factory-like finish at a fraction of the cost of new cabinets.

Cabinet painting typically costs $3,000-$7,000 for a standard kitchen, depending on the number of doors, drawer fronts, and whether the cabinet boxes are included.

Deck & Fence Staining

Deck staining and fence finishing protect wood from NB's demanding weather conditions. Professional deck staining includes power washing to remove dirt and old finish, sanding rough areas, applying wood brightener, and coating with quality exterior stain or sealant. NB's freeze-thaw cycles and wet Maritime springs make annual or biennial deck maintenance essential.

Deck staining runs $2-$5 per square foot depending on condition and product. A typical 200 sq ft deck costs $400-$1,000. Fence staining is priced similarly per linear foot.

Commercial Painting

Interior and exterior painting for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, and institutional buildings across New Brunswick. Commercial painting often requires work during off-hours, specialized coatings for high-traffic areas, and coordination with business operations to minimize disruption. Low-VOC and zero-VOC paints are standard for occupied commercial spaces.

Commercial painting is typically priced per square foot or by project scope. Rates vary widely based on ceiling heights, surface types, access requirements, and scheduling constraints.

Specialty Coatings & Finishes

Specialty painting services including epoxy floor coatings for garages and basements, textured finishes, faux finishes, wallpaper installation and removal, popcorn ceiling removal, and lead paint abatement for older NB homes. These services require specialized training, equipment, and products beyond standard residential painting.

Specialty coating costs vary significantly by type. Garage floor epoxy runs $3-$12 per square foot. Wallpaper removal costs $2-$4 per square foot. Lead paint removal requires certified professionals and costs $8-$15 per square foot due to safety requirements.
