2. How long does a typical interior painting project take?

The timeline for an interior painting project depends on the size and complexity of the job. A single room can typically be completed in 1-2 days, while a full-home repaint may take 1-2 weeks.

Key factors affecting the timeline include:

• Surface preparation requirements (patching, sanding, priming)

• Number of coats needed for full coverage

• Drying times between coats

• Custom finishes such as lacquer, stains, or specialty coatings

We provide a detailed project timeline before starting and work efficiently to minimize disruption while maintaining our high standards.

3. How do you protect my home during painting?

We take every precaution to ensure your home remains clean and undisturbed. Our process includes:

• Covering floors, furniture, and fixtures with drop cloths and plastic sheeting

• Using painter’s tape to protect baseboards, windows, and adjacent surfaces

• Setting up ventilation and containment areas for spray applications to prevent dust and overspray

• Daily cleanup and organization to maintain a tidy workspace

Your home is treated with utmost care and professionalism throughout the project.

4. Do I need to move my furniture before painting begins?

We recommend moving small, fragile, and valuable items before we arrive. For larger furniture, we request that it be placed in the center of the room, and we will protect it with plastic sheeting. If needed, our team can assist with furniture moving as part of our service.

5. What type of paint do you use?

We use premium, low-VOC paints from trusted brands like Benjamin Moore and Dulux, ensuring durability, washability, and eco-friendly performance.

For specialized projects, we apply:

• Industrial-grade coatings for high-traffic areas

• Weather-resistant exterior paints designed for Canmore’s climate

• High-performance lacquer and stains for cabinetry, millwork, and wood refinishing

If you have a specific brand or product preference, we are happy to accommodate your request.

6. Is cabinet painting a cost-effective alternative to replacing my kitchen cabinets?

Absolutely! Cabinet refinishing is a smart, budget-friendly way to transform your kitchen without the high costs and long wait times of cabinet replacement.

Our spray application process delivers a flawless, factory-quality finish with smooth, even coverage and superior adhesion. Unlike DIY methods or brush applications, our professional refinishing:

• Uses high-performance coatings that resist moisture, stains, and daily wear

• Costs significantly less than replacing cabinets

• Provides a customized finish in any color or sheen of your choice

• Extends the lifespan of your existing cabinetry while modernizing the look of your kitchen

7. How do I choose the right colors for my home?

We offer professional color consultations to help you select the perfect shade for your space. Our experts consider:

• Lighting conditions (natural and artificial light)

• Existing décor and furnishings

• Current trends vs. timeless colors

• Desired ambiance (warm, cool, neutral, or bold tones)

We can also provide sample applications to ensure you’re confident in your choice before the full project begins.

8. How long does exterior paint last in Canmore’s climate?

Canmore’s extreme weather conditions—snow, rain, intense UV rays, and rapid temperature shifts—pose unique challenges to exterior painting. At Final Coat Painting Inc., we take every precaution to ensure your home’s exterior paint withstands the elements for as long as possible.

With proper surface preparation, premium materials, and expert application, a high-quality exterior paint job in Canmore can last 5-10 years, depending on exposure and maintenance.

Our weather-resistant coatings include:

• Elastomeric paints for flexibility in temperature changes

• UV-resistant finishes to prevent fading

• Moisture-resistant primers and sealants to protect against rain and snow

We power wash, sand, prime, and seal all surfaces before painting, ensuring your home is protected for years to come.
