I asked for a quote last May looking for an interior paint job of the whole house to be done in Feb 2023. It was also a lovely surprise to see that my final invoice was not very different from the quoted price given 9 months earlier! The representatives (estimator, project coordinator & painters) of the company were all very professional and helpful. The painters cleaned up each night and left their work materials in a tidy out of the way pile. This project was completed while I still worked from home and I only needed to vacate the area once while my office was being painted. This is a company I would strongly recommend for anyone to consider should they need a professional paint job done.

We used Hardings for our kitchen ceiling (knockdown) 2 years ago as well as some more recent interior painting. Beverley (painting estimator) was so friendly and great to deal with! Our interior painting jobs were completed by Mike and Lazlo. They were both professional, polite, always arrived on time, kept their work spaces tidy and completed excellent and efficient work. We are so pleased (again) with Hardings and would highly recommend them!

We had Rony and his team out painting our commercial office and we are thoroughly impressed and pleased with the job they did. Everyone we dealt with from quote to scheduling to painting to final invoice was great and very responsive. We don’t have any complaints and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing painting done. We had one wall go from dark green to white and they did an amazing job covering it!

Harding's was hired to paint the interior of our condo complex and to do a few ceiling repairs. The painters did a great job and were always pleasant. The ceiling repairs turned out very well. George Henegar the project manager was easy to get along with and always checking on the project. His customer service was excellent. The interior of Building 2000 at Homestead Village looks great. Thank you!

We are so pleased with the Trim painting of our home. The meeting for the quote was friendly, professional and informative. The quote was reasonable, we got 3 quotes; and they were worth every penny. Booking the job was easy, George was very responsive. Our painter (Mike) was excellent. He did such a good job. He was on time, friendly, professional, and worked hard. I think the most important t hing for me was, they are professionals - not students! (No offense students, but I want someone who does this for a living, not just the summer). It looks so good, we are so happy with the end result. I highly recommend Harding’s for your painting needs!

Hardings painted main floor, one upstairs bedroom and bath, and basement including theater room. Beverley, the estimator, was punctual, professional and friendly, and provided good advice. The painting team came while the house was vacant and completed the job. There was one oversight where a closet organizer unit was re-installed when it was not supposed to be, but they came back and fixed the issue. Jonathan, the project manager, was professional and did a virtual walk through with me. Very satisfied with the end result. Will definitely use again in the future. Highly recommend this company for interior house painting.

Found Harding's via Google and decided to go with them. They were incredibly helpful, professional, and responsive every step of the way including after the job itself had started and finished.

Tips & Tricks – Ensuring you get a quality Paint Job from your Calgary Painter

1. Ditch the DiY

Painting is something that’s more subjective than objective, a good paint job involves a lot of artistry—besides product knowledge and great prep work, you need a painter who seriously knows what they are doing.

2. Prep can take a long time

At least 30% of a good-quality paint job will be prep time. That’s where less-qualified painters lower their bids. That’s where problems come with paint getting on things it shouldn’t be.

The differences between a rushed paint job and one done properly are enormous: paint on the walls and everything else; uncleaned walls leading to a splotchy paint job; your favorite couch ruined by a misguided spatter. It’s easy to not put a dropcloth down. All that stuff takes time.

Keep an eye out for the painters that skimp on prep—the best way to find detail-oriented contractors is to ask previous customers for a reference.

3. Make sure your home is ready to paint

Don’t leave all the prep work to the painters. Things will go much smoother if you make sure your home is truly painter-ready.

For interior jobs, make sure you’ve cleaned all of the awkward spots, including behind the toilet, and picked up any knickknacks that might get in the way (e.g., soap containers, loofahs, and kitchen organizers).

For exterior jobs, the Master Painters Institute recommends trimming bushes and shrubs away from the house, leaving at least 18 inches of clearance. Making sure your gutters and downspouts are in “tiptop condition” can also speed up the painting process.

4. Ask for touch-ups right away

After the paint job is finished, ask for a walk-through. Most painters should offer this regardless.

Pick it apart. We want to get it all done while we’re there. Don’t be afraid to have a list of touch-ups.

Look at your house from a different angle, perspective and in different lighting but keep in mind that Master Painters Institute dictates that imperfections should be criticized from 4′ – straight on in normal lighting. Regardless, a good painter will work through imperfections of the paint job with you.

5. Compare the particulars of the bid

It’s tough to over-emphasize the importance of hiring painters who provide detailed bids before painting your house. Deciding between two or three contractors is hard enough; it’s more so if you’re relying on pure guesswork. A bid that is scribbled down on a napkin, isn’t a bid at all.

Look at the material costs. You don’t need to go with the painter who buys the most expensive caulk but don’t go with the cheapest, either. Since painting is an art, materials are it’s medium—and cheap paint shows. I use quality products from Sherwin Williams.

People sometimes confuse price with value. If you have to repaint your house twice as often because of cost-cutting methods taken to provide a lower price than you would have with a fairly priced good job, that’s not really a great value.
