Oakville has two faces. Near the lake, Old Oakville and Bronte have heritage homes close to their harbours, and Morrison and Eastlake have large houses on mature lots. North of the QEW, Glen Abbey, River Oaks, Clearview and Joshua Creek are mostly family homes built from the 1980s on, with newer communities still going up north of Dundas. As painters in Oakville, we paint homes of every age and size.
Typical projects include exterior work on heritage wood siding and trim, high ceilings and foyers in large homes, detailed millwork and built-ins, kitchen cabinets and basements.

Homes in Oakville and what they need
Heritage homes in Old Oakville often have wood siding, detailed trim and older windows that need careful prep and the right exterior products. Larger homes have high ceilings, wainscoting, built-in shelving and millwork that is painted by hand. Homes near the lake see more wind and moisture, so exterior work needs good timing.

- Wood siding near the lake should have every bare spot primed and be repainted before it starts to peel.
- Built-ins and millwork take time to sand and paint by hand. Ask for them as separate lines in your quote.
