Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive when it comes to our full range of painting services.
For any further inquiries, reach us at (778) 889-5376.
What kind of paint do you use and why?
In most of the painting projects we will use water based paints because the water based paints are eco-friendly, non-toxic and you can expect shorter turn around time. On Sept 9, 2010 the Canada federal government has placed regulations that prohibit the manufacturing and distribution of the oil based paints except primers and stains due to environmental reasons.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, our company is fully licensed, insured and bonded. We carry a 3 million dollar liability insurance and are fully covered with WCB.
How long does a paint job normally take?
Every paint job is unique. A standard paint job will take a few days, but to know a more precise time frame, we suggest setting up a consultation with our painting contractors.
How many coats of paint are included in the quote?
Usually 2 coats of paint are included in the quote. If we think we need more than 2 coats of paint because of the colour selection, we will adjust the quote and let you know before we start the project.
How long does a new paint job typically last?
Our top-quality paint jobs will typically last you for 10 years. Still, if you want to maintain their pristine condition, we recommend scheduling paint touch-ups every 3 to 5 years.

How can I get a painting estimate?

I have an older home that might have lead paint. How will it impact my painting project?
Rest assured, we are certified to paint over lead paint. Our team will make sure to take all the necessary safety precautions and follow specific procedures to get the job done right.
If a paint says it’s a paint and primer all-in-one, does that mean primer is mixed in with the paint?
Even if it says that it’s a paint and primer all-in-one, there technically isn’t any primer in the mix. These are simply thicker paints with more coverage per coat.
Would you need to prime an area before painting it with another coat of latex paint?
Generally, you would not need to prime an already painted wall, but at Mayda Painting Inc., we make sure your walls are clean before adding a new layer.
What are the different kinds of paint finishes, and how do I select them for each room?
The different kinds of paint finishes include eggshell, matte, semi-gloss, and satin. Our painting contractors will be happy to let you know which is best for each room of the house.
How do I prepare for your visit?
We will handle the preparation work so that you don’t need to worry about anything.
Will there be a big disruption to my home while you are painting there?
As professional painters, we do our best to keep out of your way. We will try to accommodate you by working at the least disruptive times. One way or another, we promise to keep the disruptions to a minimum as much as we can.
