If you’re considering getting your condo in Toronto painted, chances are you’ve wondered about the timeline of the painting project. At Encore Painting, a common question we receive is “how long does it take to paint a condo in Toronto?”
Some of the reasons why people want to know the answer to this question are:
-
They want to know if their painting contractor is charging a fair price for their time
-
They want to know how long painters will be occupying their home (especially during the current pandemic when social distancing and stay-at-home orders are set in place)
-
They want to know if the home painting project is being done properly, thoroughly and is not rushed
When it comes to knowing how long it takes to paint a condo in Toronto, our answer is typically that it depends. Here, at Encore Painting, most of our residential condo painting projects generally take one day. That is, if the existing walls don’t require too much prep and if the condo itself is under 1000 sq. ft. In short, how long it will take a painting contractor to paint a condo in Toronto will depend on a few factors – and, we’ve listed them below.
Condo Size: Obviously, the larger the condo, the longer the painting job will take.
Crew size: More hands on deck will allow for a faster turnaround time of your Toronto condo painting project. While we would never recommend crowding a condo with a large painting crew, we always ensure there are enough bodies on-site to complete the condo painting project effectively and on-time.
Prep work: Prep work and the amount needed is a large consideration when it comes to knowing the time length of painting a condo. Are there holes or dents in walls, pinholes, scuffs, etc.? Assuming there is no major drywall repair work to be done, we typically estimate about 30 minutes of basic nail hole filling and mud work for a normal (800 sq. ft.) sized condo.
Cutting-in & trimming: Cutting in the ceiling involves painting where the ceiling and wall meets with a brush to create a sharp clean line. This is another step that greatly depends on your skill and experience level to estimate a proper time. With over 10 years of experience, the time it takes our painting experts to cut in the ceiling of an average (420 sq. ft. room) room is roughly 30 minutes for the first coat and 20 for the second.
Touch-ups: The final step to residential condo painting is the touch-up. The time can vary, and we typically say about one hour to put the condo 100% back together.
