Our Elite Process
Looking for a quote? When you choose Elite Trade Painting, you’re selecting a team that delivers elite service and results. Every project begins with a detailed quote that outlines your needs, our recommendations, and a breakdown of costs—no hidden fees, no surprises.
Once we receive your quote request, we’ll call to discuss your project and schedule an on-site visit. Our estimator will walk your space, listen to your needs and create a custom quote that covers everything from preparation to paint selection.
Our commitment to excellence goes further than a thorough estimate. Here’s how we transform your space with premium craftsmanship and attention to detail.
1. Quote
Our estimating system has all the information you need: project scope, references, picture galleries, insurance info, and recommended premium paints and products. Your quote is accessible anytime, anywhere, through our client portal.
2. Scheduling
When you say yes to Elite—by email, text, or through our online system—we confirm start date options that fit your timeline. We’ll discuss colour selections and create a plan for your project. Once approved, we’ll schedule our team to transform your space—without the stress and hassle of other painting companies.
3. Painting
When our team arrives, they bring more than just paint—they bring elite professionalism and craftsmanship. Our painters will prepare your space, apply premium products with precision and work efficiently to complete your project on time and to our high standards. No cutting corners, no rushing—just elite results.
4. Clean Up
Upon completion we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets our elite standards. We clean the site completely and remove all equipment and materials. Your space isn’t just beautifully painted—it’s spotless and ready to enjoy. And for your peace of mind, we protect the quality of your project with our 2-year guarantee.

Your detailed quote will cover all areas, including surface preparation, minor maintenance, finish application, pricing, and other important details. No surprises—ever.
You’ll get a high-quality paint job from experienced professionals. Our knowledgeable, skilled painters bring elite craftsmanship to every project—big or small.
We inspect thoroughly to ensure perfection. We don’t request payment until the job is to your expectations.
Only top-quality paints and materials will cover your property. We use premium products with a proven track record in the industry.
All Elite Trade Painting franchises have full liability insurance and worker’s compensation coverage. Your property is protected throughout the process.
Your painting job is guaranteed for two years. Less than 1% of our jobs require guarantee work—that’s the Elite difference. However, if your job needs service, we’ll do it promptly and thoroughly. We stand behind our guarantee.
The terms may vary slightly by franchise location. Please check your local franchise website or contact them directly for details.

Elite Trade Painting’s inspection process starts from the beginning to the end. Our painters and managers constantly check their work to ensure it meets Elite standards. At project completion, we follow our three-step inspection process:
Step 1
Painters inspect their work and do touch-ups before the manager’s inspection.
Step 2
The final inspection involves you and the project manager walking through the site together. Any issues noted during this inspection are addressed immediately, and the project is only complete when you’re 100% satisfied.
Step 3
The project manager inspects the project and identifies any deficiencies for immediate correction.
