Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we do both! At Elite, our experienced team has the expertise to paint all kinds of residential and commercial properties throughout the Halifax area. From historic homes that require delicate restoration to contemporary businesses that need durable, low-maintenance finishes, we do it all. Elite Trade Painting is also a locally owned and operated company. We’re not just Halifax painters—we’re your neighbours, and we live, work, and play right here in beautiful Halifax, NS.

Our professional painters combine premium materials specifically formulated for Halifax’s coastal environment with application techniques developed for life in the area. That’s why we never rush the preparation phase, which is crucial in a climate like ours. We also conduct regular quality checks on every project, ensuring that every brushstroke meets our elite standards for appearance and durability.

Mike Benteau serves Halifax South, Downtown, Central Halifax, North Halifax, Dartmouth, Burnside, Cole Harbour, Forest Hills, Porters Lake and Fall River. Shawn Donaldson serves Bedford, Bedford West, Rockingham, Clayton Park, Fairview, Fairmont, Armdale, Herring Cove, Sambro, Lower Sackville, Middle Sackville, Timberlea, Beechville, and Lakeside. Elite Trade Painting Halifax has deep roots in the places where you live and work. We’re not just painting contractors—we’re neighbours who understand Halifax and the surrounding area.

Halifax’s maritime climate can create challenges for scheduling painting. Our ideal outside painting conditions typically run from mid-May through late October, although the months of July through September offer the most reliable weather. We recommend booking outside projects 3-4 weeks in advance during summer months and 2-3 weeks during spring and fall. For interior projects, winter bookings can be more flexible, but obviously, we can paint indoors year-round. Incidentally, during the humid summer months, we carefully monitor conditions to ensure we’re painting properly.

We use specialized equipment designed for Halifax’s unique coastal environment. For exterior house painting, our house painters utilize maritime-grade sprayers that deliver consistent coverage despite our region’s humidity. We also use advanced scaffolding systems that allow safe access to all areas of your home. Our Halifax painters select equipment based on your specific project needs—from precision brushes for trim work to high-volume sprayers for larger surfaces. This investment in proper tools allows us to maintain high standards throughout the painting job, ensuring the highest quality work for your house painting project.

We provide comprehensive quotes for projects of any size, from a single room to the whole interior or exterior of your space. When you submit a quote request, our Halifax painters will arrange a convenient time to assess your entire space. We’ll discuss your vision, budget, and timeline while evaluating the specific needs of each room. Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a proposal outlining any necessary prep, primer requirements, and colour recommendations. Our transparent pricing ensures there are no surprises, making the whole process a great experience from start to finish.

For both interior and exterior house painting, we proudly feature Dulux and Sherwin Williams paints among our premium offerings. These paints provide exceptional performance in Halifax’s environment, helping to resist moisture penetration, mold growth, and UV damage. Our professional Halifax painters may also work with Benjamin Moore, allowing us to match the ideal finish to your specific project requirements. We’ll discuss the advantages of each product, helping you select the ones that will deliver the best finish while staying within your budget. No matter which brand you choose, we’ll apply it with the expertise and attention that define our professional services.

Creating a positive experience for our customers is as important to us as delivering exceptional results. Our process begins with clear communication during the quote request phase, where we take time to understand your vision and address any concerns. Once your project begins, our professional Halifax painters maintain a tidy workspace, protecting your belongings and minimizing disruption to your daily routine. We assign a knowledgeable project manager who will keep you informed throughout the process and promptly address any questions. This commitment to customer care extends beyond the work itself—we understand that having painters in your home is a significant matter, and we treat your property with the utmost respect at every stage, ensuring a stunning end result.
