FAQs
Pricing & Estimates
How much does interior painting cost in Winnipeg?
Interior painting in Winnipeg typically ranges from $2.50–$4.50 per square foot, depending on ceiling height, wall condition, prep work, and number of coats. Prairie Ridge Painting provides detailed, written estimates after an in-home assessment so pricing is accurate and transparent.
What factors affect the price of a paint job?
The cost of a paint job depends on surface condition, required prep, paint quality, number of coats, accessibility, and whether trim, doors, or ceilings are included. Older homes in Winnipeg often require additional prep, which can impact pricing.
Is paint included in your estimates?
Yes. All Prairie Ridge Painting estimates include premium professional-grade paint, primers, materials, and labour. We don’t cut corners with bargain paint or surprise add-ons after the job starts.
Do you offer free painting estimates in Winnipeg?
Yes. We offer free, no-obligation painting estimates throughout Winnipeg and surrounding areas. Estimates are thorough, written, and reviewed with you so expectations are clear before work begins.
Process & What to Expect
How long does it take to paint a house interior?
Most interior painting projects take 1–4 days, depending on the size of the home, number of rooms, and prep required. We provide a clear schedule before starting so you know exactly what to expect.
What prep work is included before painting?
Our prep includes protecting floors and furniture, repairing minor drywall damage, sanding, caulking, priming where needed, and proper surface preparation. Prep is non-negotiable — it’s how you get a clean, long-lasting finish.
Do painters move furniture?
Yes. We move and protect furniture as needed and return everything once the job is complete. Larger items may need to be cleared in advance, which we’ll discuss during the estimate.
Do you clean up after the job?
Absolutely. We leave your home clean and ready to use — no paint splatter, no dust, no mess. Cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought.
Trust, Quality & Guarantees
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Prairie Ridge Painting is fully insured and operates professionally in Winnipeg. Your home, property, and peace of mind are protected from start to finish.
Do you guarantee your painting work?
We stand behind our workmanship. If something isn’t right, we fix it. Simple as that. Our goal is long-term clients, not one-off jobs.
What paint brands do you use?
We use premium professional paint brands - mainly Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore chosen for durability, coverage, and finish quality — not whatever happens to be cheapest that week. Brand and finish options are discussed during your estimate.
Will the paint smell linger?
Low-VOC paints are standard on interior projects, which significantly reduces odour. Most homes are comfortable to occupy the same day or within 24 hours.
Logistics & Living in the Space
Do I need to be home during the painting?
No. Many clients choose to be away while we work. As long as access is arranged, we can complete the job and lock up securely when finished.
Can you paint while we’re living in the house?
Yes. We regularly paint occupied homes and work in stages to minimize disruption. We’ll coordinate the schedule around your daily routine.
Do you paint during winter in Winnipeg?
Yes — interior painting is done year-round. Exterior painting is seasonal and weather-dependent, typically scheduled between late spring and early fall.
Exterior Painting
How much does exterior house painting cost in Winnipeg?
Exterior painting costs vary widely based on siding type, home size, prep needs, and height. Most Winnipeg exterior projects range from $5,000–$15,000+. An on-site assessment is required for accurate pricing.
What siding types do you paint?
We paint stucco, Hardie board, wood siding, aluminum, and previously painted brick. Each surface requires specific prep and products to ensure long-term performance. Raw brick can be stained.
How long does exterior paint last in Manitoba’s climate?
With proper prep and quality paint, exterior finishes typically last 8–12 years in Winnipeg’s climate. Poor prep is the #1 reason paint fails early — which is why we don’t skip it.
