Normally we like to change the oil based paint to latex for you because regulations in Canada are getting more strict in regards to oil based products. First, we can test at the time of the written quote to see if the product is oil based or water based (latex). This is done using a coloured cloth and acetone. By placing a small amount of acetone on a suitable tone of cloth, we wipe a small area on the wall. If the paint appears to come off on the cloth, then your walls are latex. If it does not it is likely oil based. So, if you wish at that time to switch over to latex. We recommend you have your walls primed before the finish coats with a Sherwin-Williams product called Oil based Multi Purpose Primer. This stuff is awesome! It dries within an hour and it is latex paintable with the colours of your choice. If you are going to white walls. We can do a single coat of low sheen white finish latex over the primer which would cost you around $1.50 per floor square foot for 8 foot ceilings. For two coats colour change would be $2.10 a square foot. We have to charge .10 more for the oil primer as it is just under $50 a gallon, contractor price. These prices of course include the primer, finish paint, minor patching, sanding, plus all materials and labour. Please give me a call or email if you have further questions. Deb.

As the house I purchased is over 50 years old, I am assuming it is. Is the pricing the same if there is oil based paint undernealth?

Also if you have the same colour for multiple units this helps as well, as we can give you a sq foot rate and keep your colour code on file so it's a matter of just getting access and doing the work without having to do onsite quoting and colour matching per unit. Please contact me to discuss this further. Email is fine if it works for you :) Hi Mike, we can offer multiple rental property painting, especially if it’s units that are in a complex, done at the same time.
