The Ridgeline way

  • Your estimator writes your quote

    Either Marcus or Jordan visits for the estimate, and the one who measures your job is the one who writes the quote.

  • No surprise charges

    If we come across soft wood or a crack that keeps returning, we stop and show you before the price changes at all.

  • Written down before we start

    Before any brush comes out, your quote spells out each surface, the prep, the coats and the product.

  • Updates every evening

    Every evening a photo arrives by text from your crew lead, showing progress and the plan for tomorrow.

From ballpark to blue tape

Here's how a Waterloo job runs, from a one-minute ballpark to the blue-tape walkthrough on the last day.

Site visit and itemised quote

Marcus or Jordan tours every room or every side of the house with you, takes measurements, notes repairs and talks through colours. We email your itemised quote within 24 hours.

Sign off and choose coloursYou approve

Accept the quote and lock in your colours before we begin, because switching midway adds a coat and a day. Take down pictures and mirrors, and we'll take care of moving the furniture.

Cover, prepare and paint

Canvas goes on the floors so stairs stay grippy, furniture moves to the centre under plastic, and the rest is taped and papered. We take cabinet doors to our booth. Your crew lead texts a photo every evening.

Final blue-tape walkYou approve

Our last day includes a room-by-room walk with you and blue tape. Mark whatever isn't right and we fix it before we go. We rehang doors and hardware, then vacuum.

One crew, one text thread

Texts come straight from your crew lead, not an office you have to chase. Call or text that same number whenever you like, and you'll always know who's coming tomorrow morning and when.

Our office and spray booth are both in Waterloo

    The Ridgeline crew painted every room in our 2,800 sq ft home in just 4 days. They moved all the furniture, protected everything, and left the house cleaner than they found it. The attention to detail on our crown moulding was incredible.

    I was terrified about painted cabinets chipping. Marcus showed me samples and explained the catalyzed lacquer process. Two years later, I'm still obsessed. The finish is harder than the original factory finish.

  • Rating

    We did the whole main floor — walls, trim, and kitchen cabinets. Ridgeline coordinated everything so we only had one crew in the house. The before-and-after is unreal. Our 1992 kitchen looks like it belongs in a new build.

    We spent 6 months getting quotes. Ridgeline wasn't the cheapest, but the off-site spray booth and 10-year warranty sold us. It's been 8 months and the cabinets look absolutely flawless. We'd pay double.

    Our cedar deck was grey and splintering. Ridgeline sanded, cleaned, and stained it with Arborcoat. It looks brand new and the colour is gorgeous. Great communication throughout.

  • Rating

    We got multiple quotes and Ridgeline's process — off-site spray booth, 10-year warranty — made the decision easy. The cabinets look like they came from a showroom. Couldn't be happier.

  • Rating

    We had the main floor and upstairs hall painted. The team was on time every day and left the place spotless. The colour consultation made choosing so much easier. Highly recommend.

    Our oak cabinets were so dated. Ridgeline painted them in their spray booth and the finish is like a brand-new kitchen. No brush marks, no chips. Exactly what we wanted.

What Waterloo homeowners ask us first

How quickly could you begin work on my Waterloo home?

Most jobs start within two weeks. Our shop is in Waterloo, so the bulk of our work is right here. May and June fill up fast for exteriors, so book those early. Cabinets fit in most easily from December to February, since the booth runs through the winter and we can often start inside a week.

Will my kitchen still be usable while the cabinets are being painted?

Yes. Doors and drawers come out of the house and are sprayed in our booth off Northfield Drive, so they stay out of your way. Only the cabinet boxes get sprayed in your kitchen, with the room masked floor to ceiling and an air scrubber on. Once the doors are rehung, normal light use is fine. Hold off on scrubbing for roughly three weeks while the finish cures.

Is it okay for us to live at home during interior painting?

Yes, you can live at home for the entire job. Most main floors take 4–7 days, depending on how much prep is needed. Furniture goes to the centre of each room under plastic, canvas covers the floors, and we leave the house cleaner than we found it each day. Please keep pets out of whichever rooms we're working in.

Will you fix the original trim in older Uptown houses?

Yes. Many Uptown homes still have original trim, and we repair it before painting. If something unexpected turns up, such as soft wood or a crack that keeps returning, we pause and show you before doing any work that would change the price.

How can I line up your quote against another painter's?

We email your written quote within 24 hours of the visit. It spells out every surface, the prep, the number of coats and the product, so you can set it beside any other quote and check it line by line. It's written by whoever measured your job: Marcus, or Jordan, our estimator.

How should I get ready before your crew arrives?

Choose your colours first, since switching one partway through means an extra coat and an extra day. Take down pictures, mirrors and breakables; we'll handle the furniture. For cabinet work, clear out the drawers and the shelves behind any doors we're removing. On exterior spray days, please move your cars off the driveway.

What happens if I spot something after you've gone?

On the final day we tour each room with you, blue tape in hand, and fix every spot you mark before leaving. You keep leftover paint labelled by room plus a small touch-up kit. Jordan calls a month later, and we're 10 minutes away. Warranties are written: 10 years on cabinets, 4 on interiors, 6 on exteriors, and they transfer if you sell.
