Condo Renovation Project
Midtown Toronto
Project Overview
Rod, a general contractor, was struggling to complete a tricky condominium renovation in midtown Toronto. The previous contractor had left some drywall and plastering that was incomplete, and there was still trim work required prior to painting. On top of that, there were some restrictive rules in the building — work could only take place between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Despite those restrictions, the Home Painters Toronto team was able to complete this project without a hitch. Rod’s client was extremely particular about quality, so it was crucial to enlist a crew that could manage the repairs and painting (all within the building guidelines). Home Painters Toronto came through. The team worked efficiently and professionally and in the end the condo had a nice clean, sharp finish.
Condo Painting
The Challenge
The biggest challenge was the incomplete and poorly done drywall work left by the previous contractor. The Home Painters Toronto team had to finish the drywall and tape, plaster, and sand to ensure it was completely smooth and ready for painting.
To make matters even more complicated, the team was restricted by the condo’s time constraints and completed the work within a small window, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The client had high expectations, and the team quickly coordinated to meet them while adhering to the rules and timelines.
The Result
Home Painters Toronto finished the job on schedule and in strict accordance with the condo’s regulations. The space was renovated with smooth, finished drywall, fresh paint, and lovely trim work.
Better than expected, the client was pleased with the speed and quality. Benjamin Moore’s Aura paint in OC-60 Icicles brightened the room, part of an open-concept feel the client sought.
Rod also liked the team’s holistic approach to the project, how well the tasks fit together, and how quickly the team completed them. He has since also referred Home Painters Toronto to others, agreeing that they are capable of delivering high-quality, timely work.
Scope of Work
To ensure efficiency and high-quality results, the team divided the project into the following steps:
Step 1: Drywall and Plaster Repairs
The Home Painters Toronto team completed the drywall and plaster repairs throughout the condo, including:
- Installation of drywall on specified walls.
- Taping, plastering, sanding, and priming to create smooth surfaces.
- Ensuring the drywall was ready for painting.
Step 2: Interior Painting
After preparing the surfaces, the team painted the entire condo, including:
- Walls: Painted with Benjamin Moore’s OC-60 Icicles, creating a fresh, light atmosphere.
- Trim & Doors: Painted with the same OC-60 Icicles, using a latex pearl finish for a polished look.
- Ceilings: Painted with Benjamin Moore’s Ultraspec latex flat in OC-60 Icicles for a smooth, cohesive finish.
Step 3: Trim & Carpentry Work
The team completed necessary carpentry work, including:
- Final trim installation and touch-ups.
- Ensuring all carpentry details matched the high-quality finish expected by the client.
