The Ontario approach

Exterior Painting & Siding, done the way it should be in Hornby.

Exterior painting in Ontario isn't like painting a bedroom wall. The surface is asked to handle -25°C cold snaps, 40°C heat spikes, driving rain, UV, and road salt, all in the same year. We specify paint systems tested specifically for this climate cycle, because a cheap latex finish that lasts five years in California will fail in under two here.

Most of what we do in the first day on site isn't painting at all, it's preparation. Pressure washing to remove mildew, scraping loose paint, sanding feather-edges flush, filling cracks, priming bare timber, replacing any spongy siding boards. Only then does the first coat go on. This is the part most budget contractors skip, and why most budget paint jobs look tired after two winters.

We paint detached homes, semis, townhomes, commercial storefronts and multi-unit properties. For heritage homes in Hornby, we use breathable mineral paints that allow moisture to escape rather than trap it, extending the life of the underlying timber or stucco. For modern builds, premium acrylics from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams or Dulux, in any colour you can match.

Why Safeway Contracts Ltd for this

What makes our exterior painting & siding work last.

10-year paint lifespan

Premium paint systems give a realistic 8 to 12 years on siding, 5 to 8 on trim, not the 2 to 3 years you get from big-box-store products.

Proper surface prep

Wash, scrape, sand, fill, prime. 80% of the final result comes from this stage. We never skip it.

Siding repair in scope

Damaged cedar, vinyl or fibre-cement boards replaced before any paint goes on, at no surprise cost.

Heritage-safe methods

Pre-1950s homes get mineral or breathable paints, lead-paint abatement protocols on request.

Colour consult included

Free on-site colour matching in natural light with physical samples from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams and Dulux.

How long will the paint last?
Our typical system gives 8 to 12 years on siding and 5 to 8 years on trim, depending on exposure. We use premium paints rated for Ontario winters.
Can you paint in winter?
Exterior painting needs surface temperatures above 5°C for most systems, so we schedule projects from April through October. We book winter slots now.
Do you repair rotten siding?
Yes. We replace damaged cedar, vinyl, aluminium and engineered wood siding before any paint goes on.
What colours and finishes do you offer?
The full Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams and Dulux exterior libraries are available, plus custom colour matching. Typical finishes are flat or satin on siding, semi-gloss on trim, and high-gloss on doors.
Can you handle heritage or older homes?
Yes. We use breathable mineral or elastomeric paints on pre-1950s homes rather than modern acrylics that can trap moisture. We are comfortable with lead-paint abatement protocols for older substrates.
Will you paint in rain or high humidity?
No. Most exterior paints need 50% RH or lower and no rain for 4 hours after application. We watch the forecast and pause when conditions demand it, a project delayed by a day looks better than one that peels in 18 months.
How many coats do you apply?
Always two top-coats on top of a primer. Single-coat "paint-and-primer-in-one" products are fine for indoor touch-ups but give half the lifespan of a proper three-coat system outside.
