Ottawa has a deep bench of painting companies, from small owner-run crews to established outfits with decades on the job. To put this list together, we looked at each company's own website plus public review platforms like Google, Birdeye, HomeStars, and Houzz, checking who is actually operating in Ottawa right now and what their customers say about the work. Here are ten worth calling for a quote.
1. Hero Pro Painters
Area: Ottawa and surrounding regions · Specialty: Interior/exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, drywall repair · Rating: 4.9 on Google (166 reviews)
Hero Pro Painters runs out of 851 Industrial Ave and backs its work with a 3-year workmanship guarantee plus WSIB and liability coverage. Reviewers describe the crew as professional and thorough, with one customer saying an interior job left the space looking fresh and clean and exceeded expectations. With over a decade in business, they're a solid pick for homeowners who want a full-service outfit that also handles popcorn ceiling removal and deck or fence painting.
2. Oasis Painting
Area: Ottawa, Kanata, Kemptville, Orléans · Specialty: Interior, exterior, and specialty painting including staircases and cabinets · Rating: 5/5 on Google (50+ reviews)
Oasis Painting covers a wide service radius and takes on both residential and commercial jobs, along with less common requests like concrete and staircase painting. The company leans on a perfect Google rating and positions customer satisfaction as its top priority. They're a good fit for anyone outside the core Ottawa area who still wants a locally based crew.
3. All Pro Painters
Area: Ottawa, Nepean, Orleans, Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven · Specialty: Interior/exterior painting, brick and siding painting, kitchen cabinets
All Pro Painters, run by owner Borys with a team that includes Veronika handling customer service, gets consistent praise for showing up on time, bringing paint samples to the initial visit, and genuinely listening to what clients want. Reviewers also point to quick communication and flexible scheduling. The company offers free in-person estimates and asks for only 10% upfront, which suits homeowners wary of large deposits.
4. Classic Painting & Construction
Area: Ottawa and the Orléans area · Specialty: Interior/exterior painting, drywall and ceiling repair, kitchen cabinet painting · Since: roughly two decades in business
Based at 4338 Innes Rd, Classic Painting & Construction has picked up eight TrustedPros awards and says it has completed over 500 projects. The company also handles handyman work alongside painting, including stipple ceiling removal, and offers same-day estimates with $0-down financing. That combination of painting and light construction work makes them a practical call for anyone tackling a fuller renovation, not just a paint job.
5. Ottawa Painters
Area: Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans, Richmond, Barrhaven, Stittsville, Nepean, Gloucester, Greely, Manotick, Carp · Specialty: Residential and commercial painting, stipple removal, cabinet painting · Rating: 4.9 on Google
Ottawa Painters, based on Walkley Rd, covers one of the widest service areas on this list, reaching well into the surrounding rural communities. The company backs its work with a 2-year warranty and promotes a locked schedule and price once a quote is accepted, which cuts down on the mid-project surprises homeowners often worry about.
6. K&H Painting
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: Interior/exterior painting, full drywall installation and repair, deck staining · Rating: 5/5 on Birdeye (117 reviews) · Since: 2013
K&H Painting was started by two childhood friends and has built a strong review record on Birdeye and other platforms, with customers on TrustAnalytica calling out the team's responsiveness and tidy cleanup. They work exclusively with Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams paints. Their willingness to take on full drywall installs, not just patch repairs, sets them apart from painters who only do surface prep.
7. The Painter's Daughter
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: Interior and exterior residential painting, trim and ceiling work, colour consultation · Since: 2013
Founded by sisters Jenna and Elizabeth, third-generation painters who apprenticed under their father, The Painter's Daughter runs an all-female crew with over ten years in the trade. Reviews highlighted on the company's own site and on HomeStars praise their professionalism, cleanliness, and punctuality. They use Benjamin Moore paint and are a strong option for homeowners specifically seeking a woman-owned local business.
8. Green Time Painting & Design
Area: Ottawa, Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Orleans, Stittsville, Westboro, Glebe, Manotick, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Rockland · Specialty: Eco-friendly painting, limewash, Venetian plaster, microcement · Rating: 5/5 on Birdeye (70 reviews)
Green Time stands out for its low and zero-VOC paint focus and decorative finish work like limewash and Venetian plaster, services most standard painting companies don't offer. The company also plants a tree in the client's name for every room painted. They're best suited to homeowners who want a specialty finish or care specifically about non-toxic materials, rather than a straightforward wall repaint.
9. WOW 1 DAY PAINTING Ottawa
Area: Ottawa, Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Manotick, Nepean, Westboro, The Glebe, Centretown, Rockcliffe Park · Specialty: Interior and exterior painting completed in a single day · Rating: 4.7 on Birdeye (196 reviews)
True to the name, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING structures its jobs to finish within a single day using a larger crew, which appeals to homeowners who can't be without a room, or a whole house, for a week. Reviewers consistently mention punctuality, tidy cleanup, and fair, transparent pricing. Exterior work runs seasonally from May through October, while interior jobs are available year-round.
10. Roll Her Sleeves Painting
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: High-end residential painting, wallpapering, murals, Venetian plaster, faux finishes · Rating: 4.8 on Birdeye (54 reviews) · Since: 2009
Owner Carolyn Jane Borer combines a residential painting apprenticeship with scenic art training from Sheridan College, and it shows in the company's range: beyond standard interior and exterior work, they do murals, faux finishes, and liquid metal and faux concrete techniques more common in film and theatre set painting. For anyone after a decorative finish beyond a flat coat of colour, this is the most specialized option on the list.
