Findlay Creek
Findlay Creek is one of Ottawa's newer communities. Painting here usually means replacing builder paint and cleaning up the small cracks a new house develops as it settles.
Painting in Findlay Creek
Findlay Creek has grown from open land into a full community in a relatively short time. Most of it was built from the early 2000s onward, and new phases have kept coming. The streets are lined with detached homes, semis and townhouses, many with attached garages and open main floors. It sits in Ottawa's south end, a short drive from the airport and the shopping along Bank Street, with parks and pathways woven between the newer streets.
Newer homes don't need the heavy prep that older houses do, but they have their own issues. Drywall compound can shrink as it cures, framing settles through the first year, and builder paint rarely holds up to daily life. We fix the small stuff before painting and use professional-grade products chosen for durability. Estimates are free and every proposal is in writing. Fill in the estimate request form and we'll call to go over your project.

Local homes
The first year or two in a new house is when the building shows its seams. Lumber dries and shifts, and you'll see nail pops in the ceiling, hairline cracks at corners and above doors, and joints that start to show through the paint. It often makes sense to let most of that settling happen before a full repaint. When we do paint, those repairs come first, and we use the correct primer where new or patched drywall needs sealing.
Then there are the builder finishes. Walls are often flat and one colour throughout, and kitchens and vanities may come in a stock finish you didn't love when you signed. Cabinet painting changes the kitchen without replacing it, and a full interior repaint lets you pick sheens that handle kids, pets and busy hallways. If you're building now, our new construction painting service takes care of the paint before you move in.
Services in Findlay Creek
All of our painting services are available in Findlay Creek. These are the ones we are asked about most here.
For builders, contractors and homeowners in Findlay Creek's newer phases. We coordinate with other trades, seal new drywall properly and keep an eye on humidity in a vacant house before paint goes on.
Swapping flat builder paint for a washable finish, repairing nail pops and hairline cracks, and painting walls, ceilings, trim and doors, with premium low-VOC paint on the walls.
Stock builder cabinets and vanities can be cleaned, degreased, sanded, primed and painted in a colour and sheen you choose, with no change to the layout or the countertops.
Newer decks and fences still need a finish to protect them from UV, snowmelt and freeze-thaw cycles. We assess the wood and recommend the cleaning, staining or sealing that suits its condition.

View ProjectIt's often worth living through the first year. That's when framing settles and nail pops and hairline cracks appear. Painting after most of that movement has happened means the repairs we make beforehand are more likely to stay put. If you'd rather not wait, that's fine too; we'll repair what has appeared and paint over it properly.
Yes. We fit into the build timeline and coordinate with the other trades on site, whether we're hired by the builder, a contractor or you as the homeowner. You get one crew and one point of contact for interior and exterior painting, and we allow for drywall compound drying and humidity in a vacant house.
Yes. Many new homes are painted one builder colour from top to bottom. We'll help you plan colours room by room, taking into account the light, the size of each space and how the open areas connect, then paint walls, trim and doors in the finishes you choose.
