What to Expect From Professional House Painting Services in Edmonton

When homeowners search for a reliable house painter Edmonton , they are not just looking for someone to apply paint. They are looking for a team that understands preparation, durability, and how to deliver a finish that holds up in Edmonton Alberta’s demanding climate.

At Walls Revived , we approach every painting project in Edmonton with one goal: deliver high-quality interior and exterior painting that performs long after the job is complete. From residential painting to commercial painting, our process is built on experience, precision, and proven systems.

House Painting Services in Edmonton That Are Built to Last

Not all house painting services are created equal. True house painting services in Edmonton require more than just brushes and rollers. They require planning, proper materials, and an understanding of how surfaces react over time.

As a company based in Edmonton , we see firsthand how temperature swings, moisture, and seasonal changes impact paint performance. That is why our painting services in Edmonton are built around preparation first. Before any paint is applied, we assess the surface, repair imperfections, and ensure conditions are right for adhesion.

This is the difference between a short term paint job and a professional painting result that lasts.

Interior Painting Services That Transform Your Edmonton Home

Interior painting is where detail matters most. A clean, consistent finish inside your Edmonton home depends on preparation, technique, and product selection.

Our interior painting services focus on:

Wall and ceiling preparation
Smooth, even application
Protecting furniture and flooring
Delivering a flawless interior painting job

Whether it is a full interior house painting update or targeted improvements, we treat every interior paint application as a precision task.

For homeowners looking for interior painting in Edmonton , the goal is simple: create a space that feels finished, clean, and professionally executed.

Exterior Painting That Protects Your Home in Edmonton

Exterior painting is not just about curb appeal. It is about protecting your exterior house surfaces from weather, moisture, and UV exposure.

As experienced exterior painting specialists , we select coatings designed for durability and follow strict application standards. Exterior painting services require careful timing, especially in the Edmonton area where conditions can change quickly.

Our exterior painting approach includes:

Surface cleaning and preparation
Repairing damaged areas
Applying coatings suited for Alberta conditions
Ensuring long term adhesion and performance

This ensures your exterior house maintains its appearance and protection across seasons.

Residential and Commercial Painting Done Right

At Walls Revived, we specialize in residential and commercial painting for properties across Edmonton and surrounding areas. Whether working on a local house or a commercial space, the standards remain the same.

Residential painting focuses on comfort, precision, and minimizing disruption. Commercial painting requires efficiency, coordination, and maintaining business operations during the process.

As a commercial painting company , we understand how to balance quality with timelines. Our team of professional painters handles both residential and commercial properties with the same level of care and attention.

The Painting Process We Follow on Every Project

Every successful painting project starts with a defined process. Without structure, results become inconsistent.

Our painting process includes:

Initial consultation and painting estimate
Surface preparation and repairs
Priming and base coating
Final coats and inspection

We approach every project with consistency because that is what ensures repeatable results.

When homeowners are hiring painters in Edmonton , understanding the process helps set expectations and ensures confidence in the outcome.

Why Experience Matters When Hiring Painters in Edmonton

Experience is one of the most overlooked factors when choosing a local painter . Over time, painters have experience identifying surface issues, selecting the right materials, and adapting to different environments.

At Walls Revived, our experienced Edmonton painters bring that knowledge into every project. Working across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert has allowed us to refine our approach to different types of homes and surfaces.

This is what allows our painting specialists to deliver consistent results across the greater Edmonton area.

Cabinet Painting and Specialty Services

Not every painting project involves walls or exteriors. Cabinet painting is one of the most detailed services we offer.

Our cabinet painting process involves:

Removing hardware
Cleaning and prepping surfaces
Applying durable coatings designed for high use
Reassembling with precision

This level of detail is what defines professional painting services and ensures a high end finish.

What Sets Walls Revived Apart From Other Painting Companies

There are many painting companies in Edmonton , but not all operate with the same standards.

What separates Walls Revived:

Structured preparation process
Skilled painters who focus on detail

How to Choose Paint Colors for Your Home

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 21:08:31 GMT

How to Choose Paint Colors for Your Home In Edmonton

Hey, welcome back to the channel. I'm here again with Leann Ebert from Walls Revived . She is a painter and really a design specialist, a color specialist, in fact. And today we're going to be talking all about color, how to select color for your paint job that you need in your house.

So, let's jump in. Let's talk about paint colors because that's usually something that's challenging for homeowners to do, choosing the right paint color in the room because things really change what the color looks like depending on the lighting or lack of lighting, whether there's natural light or different types of light fixturing.

Understanding Paint Color Challenges in Edmonton Homes

For sure. What is your process for helping people to select colors? Where do you start?

Okay. In general, we look for the neutral of the home. If someone wants a color home like blues or whatever, that's fine. That's a totally different issue topic and they can just pick a color. But in general, you want a neutral that encompasses the main areas of the home. It’s very overwhelming. There are thousands of colors to choose from.

In neutrals, there are undertones. What do you mean by that?

Well, the “50 shades of gray.” Let’s go with grays. There are blue grays, green grays, beiges, pink beiges, orange beiges. There are all those undertones. If you have a bunch of colors lined up, they might all look the same, but if you put them beside each other, you can tell which is orange or green.

When selecting a paint color for someone's home, you really have to work with the current fixtures that they have in the house, like countertops, tiles, carpets, all those things that aren’t being changed out. Let’s say you have a blue gray carpet. You can’t really pick a pink beige wall color.

You can. It’s just not going to look good.

And we want to avoid that. It’ll look off and you don’t know why. That’s exactly right.

Matching Paint Colors with Existing Finishes

Some people like blue gray walls, but then they have yellow trims. It doesn’t look good. In that case, you have to change your trims if you love blue gray walls, and that’s a huge undertaking.

For people in Edmonton, St. Albert, and the surrounding areas, when helping clients choose colors, most people start with those little sample strips from paint stores. They hold them up and say, “I think I like that color.”

A lot of people have the misconception that if it's on the same strip, it all coordinates or is just varying degrees of each other. For example, on one strip you might have a green gray, a lighter green gray, then a purple violet gray, and then a blue cool tone.

When I visit someone’s home, I ask if they’ve been looking at colors already. Most have. I get an idea of what they’re thinking, mostly for lightness. Many say, “Please help me. I don’t know where to start. I just want it lighter or brighter.”

When I visit, I bring large color panels of about 50 of Benjamin Moore’s most popular neutral colors. It’s so much better than a tiny strip. You can move these around the room, which you need to do because paint color changes in every room, on every wall, under different lighting.

I’ve heard designers say lighting doesn’t matter. It does. It totally does. The lighting changes how the paint looks, but it also matters what undertone is behind the main color.

The Role of Lighting and Undertones

There are different saturations of colors too. When people say they want white walls, I ask if they really want a piece of white paper on their wall. Most people actually want an off-white.

From the feedback I’m getting, people are getting tired of white walls. There was a trend where people went all gray. Gray is neutral, but it can feel cold depending on the undertone.

It was probably a blue gray or a violet gray. It felt cold and sad. That led to warming things up into “greige,” a mix of gray and beige. That’s still popular, but now we’re moving even warmer into beiges and warmer whites.

Just because you see a paint color in a show home doesn’t mean it will work in your home. I’ve seen it many times. A builder painted walls white, but the trim was yellow beige, making the trim look dirty.

So I picked colors that complemented the trim because changing trim in a large home is incredibly expensive.

When to Hire a Professional Painter in Edmonton

What you’re saying is you have an eye for what works with furnishings, trims, countertops, cabinets, and all those elements. Who should reach out for this service?

Usually, people who buy a new home and want to put their personal stamp on it, or when something feels off. Over the years, people paint with colors they like, but it might not work with the finishes.

Also, people who want to refresh their space. Maybe they still have gray walls and want to liven things up. We’re moving into warmer tones again.

For many homeowners, wall color should act as the backdrop, not the feature, unless you're doing a feature wall. It should support the space.

When it’s done well, it blends into the background and creates a feeling of serenity. You walk into a space and it feels cohesive and well thought out.

That’s why working with a professional painter in Edmonton can make a big difference.

When you go to a hotel or resort, you can sense the design. Everything flows together because there was a cohesive plan.

If you want guidance, you can even start with inspiration from Pinterest or artwork you love and build your color palette from there.

All right, Leann. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and information on how to select paint colors for your home, for your room. How do people get a hold of you?

You can reach out through the website wallsrevived.com or call 780-232-5540.

All right, awesome. Thanks so much. Hey, you guys, we will catch you on the next video, but don’t forget to like, subscribe, share this content with a friend, and when we have some new stuff or if you have any suggestions for content from Leann, we’d be happy to get that into the program. Thanks so much. We’ll see you next time.

Why Your Wallpaper is Peeling

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 21:51:40 GMT

Wallpaper Installation Edmonton | Why Your Wallpaper is Peeling (And How to Fix It)

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Walls Revived YouTube channel . I'm here with Leanne Ebert. She's the owner and operator of Walls Revived in Edmonton, Alberta, and she is a paint and wall covering specialist. What is the other thing? You are a color specialist as well, right?

That's right.

Nice. So, color specialist in Edmonton, Alberta. And today we're going to be talking everything about the dos and don'ts of wall coverings . Think your walls are ready for wallpaper? Most homeowners discover the hard way that skipping one crucial prep step can mean peeling corners within weeks.

With over 17 years in the painting and decorating industry, Leanne Ebert has seen it all, from DIY disasters to professional transformations. In this conversation, we're pulling back the curtain on what really works when it comes to wall coverings, from peel and stick to traditional wallpaper, so you can avoid the costly mistakes and create a finish that actually lasts.

I've got an interesting statistic here. So, wallpaper accounted for 39.32% of all wall coverings in the market in 2024, with peel and stick options driving a 6.78% growth rate in residential applications as DIY adoption continues to surge. This is from a Mordor Intelligence wall covering market report.

I've got a quote here from Joa Studholme, color curator for Farrow & Ball: "Wallpaper is taking the design world by storm. There is no greater transformative element in our arsenal than wallpaper, which will reflect our unique personalities." I think that's true. I'm seeing a resurgence of wallpaper and, you know, like my son, he's a fan of the 1920s era stuff, right? And all of that Art Deco style of wallpaper, wall coverings, and design. He really loves that stuff. And I'm seeing kind of a resurgence of that coming in, yes, with the big, you know, tropical prints and, you know, black and gold and deep rich colors, right? And I think it looks great. I think it looks cool.

Regarding wallpaper and, you know, styling, like what are you seeing as far as designs, styles, textures, and colors coming back?

Oh, yeah. It is growing. There's so many, so many options that you can choose from online mostly. I've seen a huge growth in murals. So, you can even actually take like your favorite photo and companies will print it and you can have it on your wall. So many options. It's actually quite overwhelming if you don't know where to start.

All right, that probably leads me to my first questions. What are some of the big questions that homeowners have concerning wallpaper?

The first one is, "Is this a thing?" And I'm like, "Oh, yeah. No, definitely it is." And they just want to know the process. They're like, "Can you help me pick it out?" I can. I do just refer them to certain websites that they should go off of, based on like, I've used those products and I'm comfortable with them. I can also give direction with that, but they're all just, you know, "What's next? How do I do this? How much does it cost?" Of course, right? And, "Is it temporary?" And that's where the peel and stick comes into play or, you know, "Is it going to be a huge mess?" And, you know, just all these questions that they don't know, right?

Yeah. Well, that is a, you know, question and concern—like how hard is it to get off? Is it like removing tile from a wall where it's basically destroyed afterwards?

It can be. Grasscloth? Oh, yeah. Pain in the butt.

Okay, good to know. So before you jump into wallpaper, you know, if you're in the Edmonton area and surrounding communities, talk to Leanne from Walls Revived, and she can give you clear direction on what to do, what kind of wallpaper to select, and what the process looks like. The next question we've got here is: walk us through what proper wall preparation looks like. What are most people missing when they try to DIY their wallpaper installation?

Okay. So first off, if your house is freshly painted, you do need to wait 30 days for the paint to cure, or else you might have issues behind the wallpaper, like extra bubbling, off-gassing, all that kind of stuff. The other thing is you need to have a flat, smooth surface. So even like a couple, like screw holes, you'll see them through the wallpaper.

Oh wow.

So yeah, it has to be a smooth surface. Clean, not dirty, and wiped down. Like, that's essentially the basics of wall prep for wallpaper.

Okay. So, if people don't take the time to properly get the wall smooth, then they'll have issues.

That's right.

Side question. So, let's say they just had the thing drywalled, right? And they didn't paint it yet. Can you put wall coverings on that? Can you put wallpaper on that?

It needs to be primed at the very least.

Okay.

The Secret to Long-Lasting Wallpaper: Proper Preparation

Primed and sanded so that it's smooth because, like, drywall primer—getting into painting—it will create like a "tooth" almost. It's kind of rough, so you’ve got to sand it down. So yeah, you can do that. But normally, new home builds, I do tell them you’ve got to wait.

Yeah. So you have to at least prime it and then you're good to go.

And here's the other thing too. If you choose a dark pattern wallpaper, you should technically paint your wall black behind it or a dark color just in case seams open, but we'll get into that too because there's products that I recommend using that avoid, you know, seam openings and stuff.

For sure. So, you specialize in peel and stick wallpaper installation. So, what makes this different from traditional wallpaper and when would you actually recommend one over the other?

Okay. So, peel and stick is growing in popularity and for good reason. It's ease of removal. Like when you get tired of, you know, the pattern and whatnot, you can technically grab it from a corner and lift it off. I have come across ones that are super sticky. That might not be the best outcome, but I prefer peel and stick because of the seams, right? Because it's essentially a gigantic sticker.

Yeah, of course.

Right. And traditional wallpapers, especially the pre-pasted ones, the ones where you roll it through some water and whatnot, those tend to shrink. And then when they shrink, that's when you see seams, right? Or you know, just after a while, like the seams open up. With a gigantic sticker, if it happens to, like, bubble or whatever, you just tell your client to use a credit card or whatever and just smooth it out. It's much better that way. It's a little bit more pricey upfront for the material, but I do charge less to install it because there's a lot less mess. There's no adhesives that I'm using.

And I have noticed that these companies, like, they are offering peel and stick options as well. The one downfall is that there is like—there's no texture on it. So traditional wallpapers, you can get like real high texture and some glossiness and, you know, fancy...

Yeah. Yeah. Textures, patterns.

Exactly. Right. So they are lacking in that. But there are some companies that are really coming along and getting some good graphics and whatnot. So, the other question was: prefer one over the other? You know, if a client falls in love with a certain pattern or a design and it only comes in one or the other, like, that's kind of like the way to go. No, but I just—I kind of move people towards the peel and stick. It's just you won't have the headaches when you're, you know, tired of the pattern, right?

Yeah. Easier to take off.

That's right.

Yeah. Gotcha. Okay. That's great. So, next question I've got here. Let's talk about Edmonton specifically, and you work in, you know, some really nice homes in Edmonton, right? How do our temperature swings and dry winter climate affect wall covering choices and installation? What should local homeowners be thinking about?

So, wallpaper should be acclimatized when you first purchase it. Meaning that, like, you should once it arrives in your house, you should have it in your house and hopefully that specific area for about 48 hours, okay? Because it has to acclimatize to the environment. But you're talking about, you know, our cold weather and our warm weather shifting. There's a chance that seams might open, right? So, all the more reason to probably use peel and stick, right? It’s a little bit more flexible as well because it's like a vinyl kind of product or whatever. So...

So it has some give in it.

It does have some give.

Nice.

So, I'd recommend that again.

Perfect. Great. Good answer. All right. So, what are the most common mistakes you see when people attempt to install wallpaper themselves? And which ones are the hardest to fix after the fact?

Okay, it's usually the lack of planning with the wallpaper, especially if there's a pattern. Like, that's just getting into the nitpicky, but I have seen where they just don't match up the pattern from the different strips. And I'll just give an example. Lately, I went into a doctor's office and they had wallpaper on the walls. And of course, I have to go look. I'm curious, right? And I'm like, "Oh, where are the seams?" And I'm looking. I'm like, "Oh, there it is." Because they didn't even bother. Like, yes, it was a hectic pattern, but like, they didn't even bother trying to match it up and I'm like, "What the heck?" So that to me is just laziness as well. But, and like the second part of the question, how do you fix that? I don't think you really can.

Yeah.

You just got to live with what you did.

Live with your consequences.

That's right.

You papered the wall. You have to live with it.

Peel and Stick vs. Traditional Wallpaper: Which is Right for You?

That's right. I mean, unless it's peel and stick. Go back to this. You could probably lift it up and reposition, but then, you know, where is this misalignment? Is it in the middle of the...

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, honestly, the trick or the key to wallpaper is you have to get that first strip perfect. It has to be perfectly lined up. You have to have a laser level or, you know, like some sort of level. I actually draw on the wall. You have to, like, perfectly... it takes a lot of time. Like, I spend at least an hour or more planning out the whole project.

Yeah, that first strip is crucial to get perfect. Because walls are always straight, right?

Oh, yeah. No, they are never straight.

Okay. Well, that brings me to a question that we talked about earlier regarding ordering quantities, right? Yes, specifically because, you know, these patterns—if they're large patterns and, you know, you got to line them up—people often make mistakes ordering. So let's talk about that.

Yes, that is one of the biggest mistakes. I have clients that reach out and they're just like, "Oh yeah, I ordered some wallpaper and I thought I was going to have time to do it. I just haven't got around to it. Can you do it for me?" And I'm like, "Sure. How much did you order?" Like, I have to get details from them and I always get them to send me, like, a picture of the wallpaper label so I can see what I'm dealing with and, "Please send me dimensions of the room and whatnot." And oh, I'd say more than half the time they don't order enough because they don't know. It's not their fault.

Especially on the websites, they're asking for square footage and you can't do that because it doesn't apply unless it's just, you know, like a wall, just blank. Then that can, you know... but because there's different patterns, you have to line up the patterns and then you're wasting this up here, right? So, there's definitely product waste when it comes to wallpaper with patterns and you have to consider that.

As a little cheat—so, usually, and this is traditional wallpaper, not the peel and stick. Peel and stick is usually like one roll is one strip. So, just consider that. Usually, the traditional wallpapers, you can get three strips out of one roll and a standard strip is about 18 inches wide. So, this is just a quick little cheat sheet, but like, I always ask, "You know, please send me that label so that I know," and I can even help them with ordering, right? They haven't ordered yet.

So, yeah, if you haven't ordered your wallpaper yet, maybe think about ordering extra, just in case.

Exactly. Yeah.

Because it may not turn out to be extra, it may just be enough.

That's right. Yeah. Okay. And check with the return policies because sometimes you can't. But and then the worst-case scenario is that I start a job—well, usually I don't start unless I know the quantities are, you know, good—but there's batch numbers on wallpaper. So if you're like, "Oh, I'll just order more," the coloring might not be the same, right? So it's... yeah. A little finicky.

Yeah. Put that one behind the door.

Exactly. There you go.

Hide it somewhere. Okay, thank you for that. So can you break down the timeline someone should expect for a wallpaper project? I'm talking about painting, wait time, prep work, installation. What does realistic planning look like?

Navigating Edmonton’s Climate: Protecting Your Wall Coverings

Okay, so typically someone reaches out to me, they're just like, "Hey, I want to wallpaper this wall in my bedroom. You know, what are the steps?" So, I direct them to—like, yes, there's still places you can physically go and select your wallpaper and I can, you know, refer them out. But I usually say, "You know, check out these websites. You know, do you have a feeling, like a mood you want to create? Like, do you want to do landscape? Do you like damask or whatever?" Like, you know, get an idea and be prepared. It is overwhelming. There's so, so many choices. But generally, people kind of have an idea of what they want. So then they go and they order and nowadays it's really quick. Like, you can probably order and get your wallpaper within a week or two.

Okay.

So it's just a matter of scheduling into my schedule. But yeah, it's very straightforward once they figure out the pattern and then, you know, I take the room dimensions, I can give them a quote, and then we just go from there.

Okay. It's easy. So start to finish, how long you reckon?

On average, three weeks start to finish. And that's me, you know, finishing and putting you in my schedule.

All right, sounds good. Perfect. Now, let's talk about when someone should absolutely not use wall coverings. Are there walls or situations where you'd say just paint it instead?

Yeah. I mean, if it's highly, highly textured walls like—like stucco. You know, not only will you probably see the stucco behind the wallpaper, it's going to be hard to stick to it. Also, like, high humidity areas like maybe your bathroom, especially if you like taking long steamy showers. Don't really recommend putting wallpaper in your bathroom with that.

So, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Right. Texture. Yeah. Not so good.

That's right.

Yeah. Good. Outside. Don't put wall coverings outside.

There you go.

Avoiding the Biggest Ordering and Installation Mistakes

All right. Talking about textured walls. Textured walls are pretty common in older Edmonton homes. What are the options when somebody wants wallpaper, but their walls aren't smooth?

Yes. So, there is an option. You can have a liner on those walls. So, like, I can backtrack to the last question, but like, it is possible to put wallpaper over like a textured stucco kind of thing. I'm not really sure if it's going to be a super desired result or super smooth, but if they absolutely want wallpaper, we can make it happen. The other options—like, you can paint a mural. You know, I know people that do it. I could probably do it myself. I am an artist when I'm not painting. But or there's other options like if you want something on your wall like to liven it up, like we can do a faux finish, like we do lime wash. There's other things that we can do.

Mhm.

So...

Yeah. So rather than, you know, getting stuck on getting wallpaper, you can... there's other options. So and you have to talk to somebody who is experienced in it. Not your everyday painter is going to have the the right tools or the skills or knowledge to do these things. You have to talk to somebody like Leanne from Walls Revived because she knows and she's done it before. And so Leanne's not just a painter. She is more of a designer and brings those qualities to the project. Right.

Okay. Let's talk about wallpaper choices. There's so much wallpaper available online now from budget to premium. Yes. How do you help clients navigate quality differences and what should people actually be looking for?

I have installed some cheaper wallpapers and I can tell it's almost like tissue paper—or not tissue, like wrapping paper.

Okay.

We try and avoid those. So, but I know quality is improving. So years and years ago when someone was like, "Oh, I bought this off of—I can't even remember some sort of website—" that I was like, "I don't know, not Amazon, but like..." I'm like, "Okay, we'll see." And sure enough, then... or just an indication like, "Oh, this roll only cost me $30." And I'm like, "Oh, boy." You know, it's just—it's probably just like, it's not going to look good in the end. Quality does matter for sure. So, I do direct my clients to like a couple websites that I'm familiar with and that they have really good quality products. And yeah, like if people want my opinion on something that they're interested in getting, I will definitely let them know.

Okay, perfect. Yeah. No, that's great. Now, looking ahead, where do you see wall covering trends going, especially for Edmonton homeowners who want something that feels current but won't look dated in 5 years?

I mean, wallpaper is here to stay and I foresee it sticking around for a long, long time. And just, you know, people choose the wallpaper pattern because they love it. And, you know, you do grow tired of it. So, you know, when they get tired, they'll just remove it and replace it with something else. Hence the peel and stick.

Yeah. All right. Well, thank you so much, Leanne, for sharing all that valuable information about wallpaper for wall coverings for Edmonton homeowners. And how can they get in touch with you?

Oh, easy. You can go onto my website, wallsrevived.com. You can reach out to me by phone number: 780-232-5540. If I don't answer right away, please send me a text message because I'm usually out there installing wallpaper or painting walls.

There you go. There you have it, folks. Thanks so much for joining us and we'll see you in the next video.

An Edmonton Painter You Can Trust for Residential Projects

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 17:25:29 GMT

Edmonton Painter You Can Trust for Residential and Commercial Projects

Choosing the right Edmonton painter is not about finding the lowest quote or the fastest turnaround. It is about hiring a team that understands preparation, materials, and execution at a professional level. In the greater Edmonton area, where temperature swings and seasonal exposure affect every surface, painting must be done correctly or it will fail prematurely.

At Walls Revived , we approach every painting project with the same mindset: preparation determines performance. Our role as an Edmonton painter is to protect surfaces, enhance spaces, and deliver finishes that hold up over time for both residential and commercial clients.

Professional Painter in Edmonton Focused on Long Term Performance

Being a professional painter in Edmonton means working to established standards, not relying on shortcuts. At Walls Revived, we have Red Seal certified painter and decorators that follow technical guidelines, which define proper surface preparation, coating systems, and application methods.

These standards guide how we approach every job. When surfaces are prepared correctly and coatings are applied as specified, paint adheres properly, resists wear, and performs consistently through Edmonton’s seasonal temperature changes. This is the foundation of quality painting and the difference between a finish that lasts and one that fails.

Interior and Exterior Painting Services Built for Edmonton Conditions

Inside or outside home painting services require very different approaches, and we plan for both accordingly.

For interior paint, our focus is on clean transitions, consistent coverage, and finishes that complement lighting and layout. Interior painting services include wall and ceiling painting, careful protection of the home’s interior, and precise application techniques. Painting the interior is not just visual. It impacts how a space feels and functions day to day.

Exterior house painting is about protection as much as appearance. Exterior painting services must withstand moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuation. We select coatings designed for Alberta conditions and follow manufacturer specifications closely. Industry leaders like Benjamin Moore emphasize climate appropriate coatings for durability and colour retention, which is critical for exterior house painting in Edmonton.

Residential Painting Services Designed Around Real Homes

Residential painting services should never feel disruptive or rushed. When we work inside an Edmonton home, our goal is to deliver a flawless finish while respecting how the space is used.

Our residential painters plan each painting project to minimize disruption and protect surfaces throughout the process. From interior house repaints to full interior and exterior residential painting, we approach residential projects with structure and consistency.

As residential painting experts, we understand that homeowners want clarity, cleanliness, and results they can trust. That is what residential painting services in Edmonton should deliver.

Commercial Painting for Professional Environments

Commercial painting demands coordination, efficiency, and accountability. Painting a commercial space requires painters who understand scheduling constraints, safety standards, and the importance of maintaining operations.

Our commercial interior and exterior painting services support offices, retail locations, and other commercial spaces across Edmonton. We plan work to reduce downtime and ensure finishes align with the professional image businesses want to present.

Commercial painting is not just about coverage. It is about precision, durability, and execution under real world conditions.

Experience That Shows in the Finish

Experience matters in Edmonton painting. Over time, you learn how surfaces behave, where failures occur, and how to prevent them. At Walls Revived, our experience allows us to identify issues before they become problems.

Working across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and surrounding areas has taught us how to adapt techniques to different substrates, building styles, and exposure conditions. That experience is reflected in the consistency of our results and the longevity of our finishes.

Attention to Detail at Every Stage

Attention to detail is not a slogan. It's a process. We focus heavily on preparation, surface repair, priming, and final inspection because those steps determine whether a finish looks flawless and performs properly.

From residential and commercial projects to detailed interior or exterior work, our painters bring discipline to every stage. This commitment to detail is what defines expert painting and separates quality painting from short term solutions.

A Transparent Look at How a Painting Contractor Works

We believe homeowners and business owners should understand what goes into a professional paint job. That transparency builds trust and leads to better decisions.

To show how preparation, application, and finishing are handled in real projects, we regularly share walkthroughs, explanations, and completed work examples. You can see our painting experience, expert interior techniques, and project outcomes by visiting the Walls Revived YouTube channel .

Why DIY Paint Jobs Never Look Right | Professional Painter vs DIY in Edmonton

Welcome back to the Walls Revived YouTube channel. I’m Trevor, and I’m here with Leanne, who is the owner and operator of Walls Revived out of Edmonton, Alberta. And you are a painting company. Tell us a little bit about that.

For sure. I’ve been painting. I first dabbled in it back in 2007, and then I incorporated back in 2011. And I’ve been, if you add it all up, over 15 years experience. I mostly focus on residential repaints for clients, homeowners just looking to refresh their spaces.

Okay. And now, one thing that I learned about you is that you actually have your Red Seal in painting . So tell us a little bit about that. What’s involved in that process?

Yeah, so I had to—I apprenticed under NAIT program, and it actually was a full-time program. And I wanted to know more about my industry because anyone can really just pick up a paintbrush and paint, but to know the basics and how to prep properly, you get that title, journeyman painter and decorator, cuz they also teach us how to install wallpaper, how to do faux finishings, wood staining, the basics, and even more, you know, deep dives into painting. And then, so I got my red and blue seal journeyman painter certificates. The red seal means I can paint all across Canada, and then the blue seal means I have a business background, which I do. I took business management at NAIT as well.

Nice.

Yeah.

So, you’re more than just a painter, someone with a brush and a roller and going to town on someone’s home.

That’s right.

You actually know what you’re doing.

Yes.

And you’ve got the experience to back it up.

Correct.

Professional Residential Painting in Edmonton: Meet Walls Revived

Awesome. So today, let’s talk about common mistakes that homeowners make with their painting. So where do you want to start with that?

Oh, I have—oh my god. So the biggest thing that I find is that homeowners just rush into the project. They just want to, you know, get the paint on the wall. So they’re missing the most important step, which is prepping. And that’s, you know, sanding the walls, preparing the surface, the walls or the trims properly. So if you have holes or whatnot, filling it and then sanding it actually, because I’ve come across so many times where they just paint over the patches. And you know, like the end goal is to have just smooth walls to bring it back to like as if the builder, you know, just signed off on the house and here’s your new house.

So that’s the main thing. The other one is they go to the dollar store and they buy materials like the applicators.

Okay.

And so they cheap out on all that stuff, or they cheap out on the paint. And the paint does make a big difference. So that’s that first part. The other part is just they don’t have the skills to do it. So, you know, I’ll see paint smudges on the ceiling or big drips, or, you know, it’s just the application of a painting by homeowners is—I can tell.

You can tell. You can see when it happens, right?

That’s right. But I can fix it though.

So—

Well, that’s good. That’s good. It can be fixed.

It can be fixed. Now, homeowners, when they want to jump into doing a project, so they’re not taking the time to fill holes, do proper prep work, clean the walls if they need cleaning, sand them. And it’s been a long time, right, since, you know, oil-based paints have been used. But, I mean, you probably come across it somewhere.

Of course.

Why Proper Paint Prep Matters More Than the Paint Itself

So applying your latex acrylic over oil-based—do they do that mistake sometimes? And what happens in that case?

Yes. Yes, I do see that. And essentially, you can almost peel off the paint because it doesn’t adhere properly. So yeah, that’s just another instance. It’s rare nowadays because usually people have slapped on a coat of paint since, what, 60s and 70s when oil was definitely used a lot more.

Yeah, it’s, you know, a huge misconception. The paint stores sell is like primer and paint in one. It doesn’t actually really exist, right? Like the good quality paints, it already automatically—like the primer—primer is actually a cheap product, so you don’t really want primer in your paint. But it just means that it’ll adhere to the wall more so.

And yeah. Well, what should people be looking for?

You do want quality for sure. Something that levels out. So, you know, if you’re a DIYer, it will assist you in achieving that smooth finish. Something that doesn’t dry too fast, cuz, you know, DIYers, they hesitate or they reroll an area. And I don’t know, there’s so many application errors that I see all the time, right? So, you know what, it does matter, the quality of paint. So spend that extra $10 more on a gallon, and then you can get, you know, it’s more workability, and the end result will be better for you.

Okay. What are some other errors that you see homeowners make when they’re approaching painting?

Oh my—oh, I know. The use of tape.

Okay.

Common DIY Painting Mistakes Homeowners Make (And How to Avoid Them)

Yeah. So I always—like, I use tape every now and then, but only when I need to get that, you know, crisp line. But I’ve seen people overuse tape. Like, they tape everything, and then they rely on it too much. Or they cheap out on the tape. And that’s another one, because if it’s cheap tape, you’ll get that bleed through. So when you pull it off, either you’re pulling off the first layer of paint underneath it, or else you get those little—we call it bleed through. So you get that little, you know, rough edge kind of thing.

Oh yeah.

Or yeah. It’s just—that’s a huge one for me. And it takes a lot of time to, like, tape everything in your house.

Yeah, it sure does.

Yeah, takes a while.

So let’s say you’re coming into someone’s home. How do you approach it differently than a homeowner would? Like, we’re trying to give people the reason why they should bring in a professional painter like yourself, right?

When you hire a professional painter, you get that professional result. And by that, I mean even walls, even application. Even just simply painting the baseboards makes a huge difference, and a lot of homeowners overlook that. I’ll go into their houses and we discuss the scope. I’m like, “All right, take me around. Give me a walkthrough. What do you want done?”

And I will often point out things that they haven’t seen, or, you know, like we want it to look clean and professional and not like if they didn’t—they would just do it themselves or they would get a family member to paint it, right? But, you know, I will point out certain things that they might not have seen—ceiling stains or, like I was saying, their baseboards or trim. People often are like, “Well, I don’t know if my trim needs painting.” And I’ll be like, well, I often find that, you know, you refresh the walls and they look, you know, spectacular, and then all of a sudden your eye gets drawn to your dirty baseboards.

Right.

So it’s just that. Or else, yeah, people could do it themselves. I used to have this motto: anyone can paint, but not everyone should, right?

It’s, you know—and the scary fact is, like, anyone can just go to the hardware store, buy some tools, call themselves a professional painter.

And you know—

Yeah. Yeah. You don’t know what kind of result you’re going to get, right?

No. Exactly. Exactly. Especially with the prep work, right? Because the prep work is a big part of the project. If you don’t do that right, everything after it looks awful.

That’s right.

Yeah.

Red Seal Certified Painter in Edmonton: What That Really Means for Your Home

All right. Cool. Is there anything else you’d like to share about painting and, you know, problems that homeowners run into when doing a painting project?

I find that, like, a huge complaint that I get from homeowners hiring me is a lot of them—they’re either senior and they’re like, “I used to paint, but I can’t do it anymore physically. It’s too taxing on myself.” The other one is they start the project and they get distracted, and it takes them forever to finish.

So when you hire a professional, like, we’re in and out, right? We want to try and make this less, you know, obtrusive. And it’s just—we want to get the job done, get it done right and fast, so that you can get back to your life and, you know, normal living and stuff.

So yeah, I think they underestimate how long it’s going to take them. And then where do they start? Where they, like—they have to, like, simply just getting a ladder and all the tools. And it’s a huge process. And in the end, we just want to save people time, right? Like, that’s, you know, a huge benefit in hiring a professional.

Yeah, I think that’s it right there. Like, what is your time worth?

That’s right.

Why Hiring a Professional Painter Saves Time, Money, and Stress

Like, what is your time worth? Like, do you want to spend a day and a half or two days prepping, sanding, painting to get a lackluster result, or do you want to get a professional who knows what they’re doing? They’re in and they’re out. And you can do anything else.

You can, you know, do other parts of the house, clean the house, go about your errands, go to work.

That’s right.

Watch a movie.

Watch a movie, yeah, while the painter’s going away and doing it.

So that’s really good. So, you know, I think saving people’s time is a big reason why they should hire a professional.

100%. And you know, it’s not that, you know, taxing or that much of a budget constraint because, you know, once you look at the amount of time you have to spend—not only in prepping and sanding and painting—but then there’s the cleanup and disposal and all of that. Like, who wants to do that, right?

Exactly.

Yeah.
