Homeowners in York Region say
Who you’re hiring
I’m Dylan.
Paint is chemistry, and what it bonds to decides whether a finish lasts two years or ten. That’s the half of this trade most people skip — and it’s why the company is named after prep rather than paint.
I’m obsessive about optimizing things. Most painting quotes still run on phone tag and a visit you have to be home for, so I put the pricing online instead: answer a few questions about your place and you have a real number in about a minute. The same instinct runs the job itself — the order of the prep, where the drop sheets land, what gets put back before I leave.
I stay small on purpose. Book me and I’m the one in your home, and mine is the number you call.

How it works
Step 1. Start in one tap
No address and no account to begin. Press Begin online quote and go straight to what we're painting — we ask where the job is with your contact details, just before your price.
Step 2. Start from the home closest to yours
A condo, a main floor, a bungalow, a whole house — tap it and the rooms are filled in for you. Not quite your place? Add or remove rooms until it is. Every room offers typical sizes to pick from, so you are never stopped by a measurement you do not have to hand.
Step 3. Answer one thing at a time
The builder asks a single question per screen, and every answer feeds the price you see at the end. No callback to wait for, no contact details until the step before your price, and nothing is booked until you say so.
Step 4. One price, no visit first
You get one price for the whole job, not a range — and no confirmation visit to sit through before we start.

How the pricing works
You get the quote on screen
The rates behind the estimate are the rates we charge. Nothing is padded to leave room for negotiation, and you do not have to sit through a sales visit to find out the number.
No visit needed before we start
Your price is built from the rooms and sizes in your quote — yours, or the typical size you picked for each room — so we do not need to come out and check it first. The price is locked and we arrive to paint, not to measure.
The price holds to what you entered
We hold your price as long as what we find when we arrive matches what you entered. If the job is materially different we re-quote it and tell you exactly what changed, before any work starts.

Questions people ask before they use it
Is this a real price, or just a ballpark?
It is a real price, built from the same rates we charge. You get one number for the whole job — priced at your own sizes, or at the typical size you pick for each room — and we hold it as long as what we find when we arrive matches what you entered.
Do I have to book anything to see the price?
No. We ask for your name, email, phone and the property address on the last step before the price, so the quote has somewhere to go. Nothing is scheduled until you send it to us, and you can download the quote as a PDF or email yourself a link that reopens it on any device.
Do you still come out before starting?
Not to check an online quote. The price is already locked to the rooms and sizes in it, so we arrive to paint rather than to measure, and we confirm it with you on the day the work starts. You can also just ask us to come out and quote it in person instead of building the quote yourself — some jobs are easier to talk through than to type in. There is no obligation and no charge for that visit.
