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?

We Do the Job with Pride
We own every aspect of our work. We show up dressed as professionals, treat customer property with respect, and maintain our tools and equipment to the highest standards. Our reputation is built on each job we complete, and we sign our name to our work with pride.

We bring intensity and enthusiasm to every job—but always return home safely at the end of the day. We celebrate our successes, protect our well-being, and actively improve our communities through service—because our purpose extends beyond painting. We’re here to make a difference while taking care of ourselves and each other.
