Had an amazing experience with Elite painting. Alexis and Nico went above and beyond to make our painting dreams come true. Chris was amazing to work with as well and coordinated everything perfectly. Will be using them again!

We are extremely happy with the work Lucas and his team did painting our garage and applying epoxy to the floor. Lucas's communication and flexibility with scheduling was greatly appreciated and Harman's quality of work was excellent from start to finish. The garage looks fantastic, and the epoxy floor has completely transformed the garage. We are very happy and would highly recommend Elite Trade Painting.

These guys are pros! Recently had the windows replaced on our home. I hired Elite Trade Painting to do the staining. It was a really tricky/fussy process because we had a combination of new unstained Fir along with our old fir finishing that now had tons of nail holes to patch in our previously stained finishing. Melissa, Skye and Jeff did such a great job, really paying attention to detail. They were so good to work with and when small issues came up they were quickly and professionally addressed. Highly recommend!

Recently had a room painted by Elite Trade Painting, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Their team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the entire project. The finished room looks fantastic, and they left the space clean and tidy. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for painting services!

We highly recommend the team at Elite. We had Febin and Piyush do the exterior of our home. They painted both the brick and siding. We then had Gurpreet do the front door. Curtis was the fellow that handled the communication. These folks were all on time, professional, courteous and very neat. They treated our home and us with complete respect. They said they wanted us to be completely satisfied and meant it. We had a few quotes to choose from but felt comfortable with Elite from first contact. The neighbours love the new look as well. Thanks team.

The management team at Elite was extremely accommodating and understanding of the additional requirements we had for the project. The crew who painted our home was respectful, professional, and took great care to leave our property clean and tidy at the end of each day. The quality of the painting exceeded our expectations, and the finished result looks fantastic. Our project manager, Curtis, was highly professional and responded to all of our questions promptly and thoroughly throughout the process. Elite clearly shares our commitment to high standards and quality workmanship. They ensured every aspect of the job was completed to an exceptional standard, and we are very pleased with the outcome. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

They were able to book me in last minute and did a fantastic job. Finished my ceiling in one day, were very quick, careful with our furniture, and left the job site spotless. Would definitely recommend them. The project coordinator was a great communicator and was quick to get me a quote, thanks Carson!
