Painting homes and businesses in St. Catharines
St. Catharines covers a lot of ground. Downtown, Yates Street and Old Glenridge have many century homes with tall baseboards, detailed casings and plaster walls. The north end, around Lakeport and Grantham, is mostly 1950s to 1970s bungalows and back-splits. Merritton has a mix of older workers' cottages and newer infill. Port Dalhousie, by the lake, has both heritage cottages and newer townhomes.
With Brock University and Niagara College nearby, there are many student rentals and multi-unit houses. Landlords need durable, quick turnovers. Homeowners in established neighbourhoods are often updating dated oak trim, wood panelling or dark kitchen cabinets.
Local Know-How
What we see in St. Catharines homes
Century homes
We protect original woodwork. We repair and prime plaster properly instead of just rolling over cracks.
Oak trim & cabinets
Painting dated oak trim or kitchen cabinets white or a modern colour is one of the most popular updates in St. Catharines. It needs deglossing, a bonding primer and a hard-wearing enamel to last.
Student & multi-unit rentals
Scuff-resistant finishes, consistent colours across units, and scheduling around the end of the school year.
