Why us

Why Calgary homeowners choose First Impressions Painting

  • Prep done properly

    Patching, sanding, caulking and priming before any finish coat goes on. It's the part you don't see, and the reason the finish lasts.

  • Clean, protected job site

    Floors and furniture covered, edges masked, and the space tidied at the end of every day. You can live in your home while we work.

  • Clear written estimates

    Scope, colours, coats and timeline in writing before we start. No surprises halfway through the job.

  • Owner on the job

    Frank is your point of contact from the estimate to the final walkthrough. You always know who to call.

Yes. Frank will come out, look at the job and give you a written estimate at no cost and with no obligation. For smaller jobs we can often quote from a few clear photos sent by text.

Prep is most of the job. We protect floors and furniture, fill holes and cracks, sand patches smooth, caulk gaps in trim, clean greasy or dusty surfaces, and spot-prime repairs or stains so they do not show through. Then we paint.

Please clear small items, breakables and anything off the walls. We handle the heavy stuff: furniture is moved to the centre of the room or out of the way, covered, and put back when we are done.

Roughly late May to mid-September, depending on the year. Most exterior paints need the air and the surface to stay above a minimum temperature, often around 10°C, while the paint sets, and Calgary nights can drop fast. We plan around that.

Yes, First Impressions Painting is fully insured. If you need proof of insurance for your condo board or property manager, just ask.
