Your home
How the age and type of home changes the job
Calgary’s housing ranges from early twentieth-century inner-city houses to new suburban builds. Each era brings its own painting questions.
| Home | Common painting questions |
|---|---|
| Older inner-city homes | Common painting questionsMany layers of old paint, plaster walls, wood trim and siding. Homes built before 1960 probably contain lead paint, so prep needs to be lead safe. |
| Homes from the 1960s to 1980s | Common painting questionsTextured or popcorn ceilings that should be tested before being disturbed, exterior paint that may contain lead, and dated trim and cabinets. |
| Homes from the 1990s and 2000s | Common painting questionsBuilder-grade flat paint that marks easily, oak cabinets and trim, stucco exteriors that are now due for attention. |
| Newer builds and infills | Common painting questionsFresh drywall settling in its first years, open-plan layouts with long continuous walls, basement developments. |
| Condos and townhouses | Common painting questionsBuilding rules, elevators and parking, and limits on what owners can paint outside their unit. |
Local conditions
Painting for Calgary’s climate
The city’s dry air, strong sun, chinook temperature swings and summer hail all affect exterior finishes. They are why the sunny sides of a house wear first, why the exterior season is short, and why flexible, well-bonded coatings matter.
