What we’d tell a friend
painting their Toronto place.

Real numbers, real colours, and the boring stuff that actually matters — written the way we’d say it to a neighbour over the fence, not the way a content team would write it.

Colour tools

Pick the colour before we show up.

We paint Sherwin-Williams across the board. Spend twenty minutes on their colour site first — try shades on a room photo and jot down the codes. Having them ready at quote time keeps things moving.

These are third-party tools maintained by their respective brands — just sharing what we use ourselves.
