Our History

What started as one person with a paintbrush in 1982 has become one of North America’s most trusted painting companies. For more than 25 years, Elite Trade Painting has been the go-to choice for quality painting across Canada. We’ve built something special by focusing on what matters most: doing great work for great people.

From Vancouver to Halifax, we’ve grown by sticking to our values. We believe in treating every home and business like it’s our own. We use the latest tools and proven methods, but our real strength comes from caring about the details that make your project perfect.

Our approach is simple: keep things clear, follow our tried-and-true process, and always deliver exceptional results. That’s how we’ve built lasting relationships with thousands of happy customers.

Here in Calgary, we’re not just your painters. We’re your neighbours. Our local team understands what makes this city special, from the stunning mountain views to the unique character of each neighbourhood. From Kensington to Mount Pleasant or anywhere across our beautiful city, we bring that same personal touch and community pride to every project. Ready to see the difference local expertise makes?

Our Promise to You

At Elite Trade Painting Calgary, we make painting simple.

As experienced professional painters, we know you want everything to go smoothly. Clear processes make our system work; we’re proud to be professional, show up on time, keep you informed, and start and finish when we say we will.

When it comes to painting, we follow four basic rules:
  • Everything that should be painted is painted
  • Anything that should not be painted remains untouched
  • All lines are straight, and all surfaces are smooth
  • At the end of the job, we leave a clean site and a high-quality finish
And when you work with us, we promise to:
  • Provide clear, easy-to-understand, and accurate estimates
  • Provide references, insurance, and guarantee information with every quote
  • Have knowledgeable estimators to answer questions and provide advice
  • Always maintain clear and open communication throughout the job process
  • Deliver on-time service with timely quotes and on-time starts and completions
  • Organize jobs to minimize the disturbance to our clients’ daily routines
  • Take pride in keeping our job sites clean
  • Invoice our clients in a timely and easy-to-understand way

We follow these rules and procedures—every time— because we know our success isn’t just about paint. It’s built on professionalism, reliability, and service. From the moment our teams arrive at a property to quote until the final brush stroke is complete, we maintain the highest standards of quality and professionalism.

The Bottom Line? We’ve Got This.

From the first conversation to the final inspection, we do exactly what we promise. Quality work. Fair and honest pricing. Clear communication. Respect for your property. No mess, no stress, and nothing less than our very best. That’s why they call us Elite.
