Interior Wall Painting

Interior painting is one of the most effective ways to transform your home, and we focus on delivering results that feel fresh, modern, and long-lasting. Whether you’re updating a single room or repainting your entire home, we provide a streamlined, professional experience from start to finish.

​​​​

Our process begins with a detailed walkthrough where we assess the condition of your walls, ceilings, and trim. We identify areas that need repair, sanding, or priming to ensure the final result is smooth and consistent.

​​​

Preparation is a major part of what we do. We protect your furniture and flooring, repair imperfections, and create a clean surface that allows the paint to adhere properly. This attention to detail ensures a higher-quality finish and better durability over time.

Drywall Repair

When we take on any painting project in the city of Ottawa, we always start with the surface—and that’s where our drywall repair service makes a major difference. A flawless paint job depends on properly prepared walls at a fair cost, and we handle everything from minor damage to full panel replacements.

​

For smaller issues like filling holes in wall surfaces, we use professional-grade compounds and a proven layering technique to ensure the repair blends seamlessly. We often apply drywall repair tape to reinforce cracks and prevent them from reopening over time. For larger damage, we install a wall repair patch and feather it out carefully so it becomes completely invisible once painted.

​

In more serious cases, we assess when to replace drywall entirely. Water damage, mold, or structural weakness can’t always be patched effectively, and replacing sections ensures a longer-lasting result. When that’s required, we know exactly how to cut the drywall cleanly and install new pieces so they align perfectly with the existing wall.

Caulking and Sealing​

Caulking and sealing are essential for both appearance and protection. Before painting, we carefully inspect areas where gaps or cracks may exist, especially around windows, doors, and trim.

​

We use high-quality painters caulk to fill gaps and create clean, seamless lines. For exterior work, we focus on window caulking exterior applications using durable exterior window caulk that can withstand weather and temperature changes.

​

Proper sealing helps prevent moisture intrusion, drafts, and long-term damage while also improving the final appearance of painted surfaces. It ensures that paint lines look sharp and professional.

​

By addressing these details before painting, we enhance both the durability and overall finish of the project.

​

​

Priming

Stain-blocking, colour coverage, and adhesion - these are all the primary functions of primer. When used properly, it prevents future issues like peeling paint or streaky finishes. Letts Paint ensures primer use to surfaces that have never been painted, and especially to darker colours when trying to create a lighter finish.

​

​

Trim and Baseboard Painting

At $1.15 to $2.00 per square foot, trim and baseboards may seem like small details, but they have a major impact on the overall look of a room. As a small painting company, we treat these elements with precision and care because clean, crisp lines can elevate even the simplest space.

​

Our process starts with thorough preparation. We clean all surfaces to remove dust and buildup, then sand to create a smooth base for paint adhesion. Any dents, nail holes, or imperfections are filled and sanded again to ensure a flawless finish. Proper prep is what separates a quick paint job from a professional one that lasts.

​

We also take the time to carefully mask surrounding areas, protecting your floors and walls while ensuring sharp edges. When applying paint, we use high-quality products designed specifically for trim—these finishes are more durable and resistant to scuffs, which is essential for high-traffic areas like baseboards.

Finish Coat Application

For a small painting company, the application of the final topcoats is usually the stage where all of the earlier preparation work starts to pay off. By this point, surfaces have already been cleaned, patched, sanded, caulked, and primed. The focus now shifts toward achieving an even finish, proper coverage, and a professional appearance that will hold up over time.

​

Before opening any paint cans, painters will often do a final walkthrough of the workspace. Floors are checked for dust and debris, masking tape is inspected, and lighting conditions are reviewed carefully. Letts Paint relies heavily on attention to detail and word-of-mouth reputation, so this last inspection can make a significant difference in the finished result.

​

The first topcoat is generally applied methodically from top to bottom. Ceilings are usually completed before walls, and walls before trim, to minimize drips and maintain clean lines. Professional painters work in manageable sections and keep a “wet edge” to prevent lap marks or uneven flashing. During this stage, drying conditions are monitored closely, since temperature, humidity, and airflow can all affect how the paint levels and cures.

​

Once the initial topcoat dries, the crew will often inspect the surface again under different lighting angles. Minor imperfections such as lint, rough patches, or missed areas may be lightly sanded or touched up before the final coat goes on. This intermediate inspection is particularly important with darker colours, satin finishes, and high-visibility areas where imperfections tend to stand out more clearly.

​

The final topcoat is typically applied with extra care and slower pacing. At this stage, painters are focused on achieving full colour depth, clean cut lines, and a consistent finish across the entire surface. Letts Paint takes pride in these finishing details because they are the parts homeowners notice most immediately when the project is complete.
