Orleans
Professional Painters in Orleans, Ottawa
Orleans has two sides for a painter: established 1970s and 1980s neighbourhoods closer to the river, and newer subdivisions that are still growing.
Painting in Orleans
Your Orleans painting contractor
Orleans started as a small francophone village near the Ottawa River and grew into one of the city's biggest suburbs, split between what were Gloucester and Cumberland before amalgamation. Large-scale building began in the 1970s, in neighbourhoods like Convent Glen and Queenswood Heights, and it hasn't let up since. Avalon and the areas around Trim Road are much newer. Place d'Orléans, Petrie Island and the river pathways are local landmarks, and the community keeps a strong French-language presence.
That spread of ages means Orleans homes rarely need the same thing. A 1980s two-storey may need its textured ceilings dealt with and years of scuffed trim brought back. A house built in the last decade usually needs its builder paint replaced. Either way, you're dealing with a family-owned, licensed and insured crew, a written proposal and structured payment stages.

What Orleans Homes Need, Old and New
Homes from Orleans' first big building wave often have popcorn or stipple ceilings, original trim and baseboards, and kitchens that were last updated a long time ago. Nothing gets scraped until a certified inspector has tested any texture from before 1980 for asbestos. If it's positive, licensed abatement happens first. After that, our popcorn ceiling removal gives you a smooth skimmed finish or a knockdown texture, ready for fresh paint.
In the newer parts of Orleans, the typical house has flat builder-grade paint, an open main floor and, after a few winters, some nail pops and settling cracks. Exteriors across the community deal with the same Ottawa weather, and fascia, soffits, garage doors and trim on the sunniest sides usually peel first. Faded aluminum siding on older houses can often be repainted rather than replaced. A colour consultation is part of every exterior job, which helps if you're thinking about moving away from the original siding colour.
Services in Orleans
What we do for Orleans homes
All of our painting services are available in Orleans. These are the ones we are asked about most here.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Common in 1970s and 1980s Orleans homes. Ceilings from before 1980 are tested for asbestos by a certified inspector, then finished smooth or with a knockdown texture once they're cleared.
Interior Painting
Scuffed trim, dated wall colours and flat builder paint all get the same careful prep. We fix cracks, holes and nail pops, then paint with premium low-VOC products on interior walls.
Exterior Painting
Siding, trim, fascia, soffits, doors and garage doors, with paint applied within the temperature window each product needs. Every item is written into the quote, so nothing extra turns up on the bill.
New Construction Painting
For homes going up in the newest phases of Orleans. We fit around the builder's schedule and the other trades, prime fresh drywall properly and give you one crew for inside and out.

View ProjectWe're selling our Orleans home. Is painting worth doing first?
Fresh, neutral paint is one of the simpler updates before listing a home, and it helps rooms photograph well. Focus on scuffed walls, dated colours and any patched areas. Most residential projects take 1 to 5 days, so it can usually fit ahead of listing photos if you book early enough.
Our Orleans house was built in the early 1980s. Does the popcorn ceiling need asbestos testing?
Our testing policy applies to ceilings from before 1980. For a house finished in the early 1980s, it's worth confirming when the ceiling texture actually went in, since some homes were finished or renovated at different times than their build date suggests. If you're unsure, raise it on your Project Discovery Call.
Can you paint aluminum siding on an older Orleans house?
Often, yes. Faded or chalky aluminum siding can be cleaned, prepped and painted with a product suited to metal, which refreshes the house without replacing the siding. We'll check its condition first and include it with the trim, fascia and soffits in your exterior quote, along with a colour consultation.
