Painting
Trim, Door & Millwork Spraying.
Trim that looks like it came out of a factory, not out of a brush.
On the job
Real work from Durham Region homes and job sites.
Brushed trim always carries brush marks. Sprayed trim does not. On new millwork or a full repaint, spraying is what separates a good job from an obviously repainted one.
We mask the room properly, spray with fine-finish tips, and use hardening enamels that resist scuffing.
What's included
- Full masking of walls, floors and hardware
- Filling nail holes, caulking joints and sanding between coats
- Bonding primer on oil-painted or varnished trim
- Waterborne alkyd or urethane enamel finish coats
- Doors sprayed on and off the hinge as appropriate
- Hardware removal and reinstall
The details
Painting stained trim white
Old varnished trim must be degreased, scuff-sanded and sealed with a bonding or shellac primer. Skipping that step is why so many DIY trim repaints peel at the edges within a year.
Sheen and durability
Semi-gloss is the traditional choice; a satin waterborne alkyd is currently the best balance of hardness, flow and modern look.
Common questions
Can you spray trim without spraying the walls?
Yes. Full masking makes it entirely separable, and we often spray trim first then cut walls to it.
