Our expertise
Four specialties, one way of working: the right way
House, condo, office or storefront: every project gets the same meticulous prep, the same premium products and the same eye for detail, right down to the last cut-in line.
Our specialty
Wrought iron, restored to its former pride
Spiral staircases, ornate balconies, railings and fire escapes: wrought iron is Montréal's signature. We strip it back to sound metal, redo the welds, protect it against rust and give it a finish that lasts, with first-rate products and a crew trained every three months.

- Balconies & railings
- Fire escapes
- Handrails & fences

Stripping & welding
Rust and old paint removed down to sound metal, weak sections repaired or replaced.

Rust treatment
Rust-inhibiting primer applied to clean, dry metal, right into the scrollwork.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a painting project cost in Montreal?
Every project has its own price, and that's normal: it depends on the area, the condition of the surfaces, the number of colours, ceilings and trim, access and how much prep is needed. A single room costs less than a full condo or a store with tight hours. Our quote spells out the scope before work begins: no surprises along the way.
Is the quote free?
Yes, completely free and with no obligation. An experienced professional estimator visits your property, examines the surfaces, takes measurements and gives you a clear, detailed quote, not a number pulled out of thin air. Make your request 24/7 through our assistant: guaranteed reply within 24 hours.
How long does it take to paint a room or a condo?
A simple room is often finished in a day, depending on prep and drying time. A full condo usually takes a few days, especially with repairs, common-area protection, ceilings, or working in stages while you're living there.
Do you move or protect furniture?
Yes. We move light furniture where possible, group the rest in the centre of the room and protect floors, furniture, counters and walkways before we start. Ideally, put fragile, personal or high-value items away before we arrive.
Do you work in condos with building rules?
Yes. We're used to condos with permitted hours, elevators, shared hallways, parking, protection requirements and management rules. We plan the job to limit noise, dust and disruption for neighbours.
Do you do commercial painting outside business hours?
Yes. For offices, stores and professional spaces we can schedule evenings, early mornings, weekends or zone-by-zone work to reduce the impact on customers, staff and daily operations.
