From the owner

I run North Bay Painting Services the way I'd want a painter to work on my own home.

Paint is the most visible finish in your home, your cottage, or your business. When it's done right, nobody thinks about it. When it's done wrong, it's the first thing you see every single day. That's why I don't cut corners on prep.

My crew shows up when we say we will. We protect your floors and your furniture. We patch, sand, and prime properly before we pick up a brush, because shortcuts on prep are why paint fails. We walk every job with you before you pay a cent. And we back every project with a 1-year written warranty.

We're fully bonded, fully insured, and WSIB covered. We use Benjamin Moore and Dulux on every interior because good paint is cheaper than doing the job twice. If that sounds like the kind of painter you want on your place, let's talk.

Real reviews from real North Bay and Nipissing clients.

"Paul and his crew redid the whole exterior of our place on Lake Nipissing. Cedar looked dead. Now it looks brand new. They sent me photos every day while I was in Toronto."

"We got three quotes. Paul's wasn't the cheapest but his prep plan was twice as detailed. Two years later, zero peeling. The others would have failed by now."

Frequently asked

Answers before you call.

5 questions we get all the time. Still have one? Call (705) 482-1142.

How much does it cost to paint a house in North Bay?

Interior painting in North Bay typically ranges from $400 to $800 per room, or $5,000 to $15,000 for a whole-home repaint. Exterior painting ranges from $3,000 to $12,000+ depending on home size, height, siding condition, and number of storeys. Every estimate includes free on-site assessment, full prep, premium Benjamin Moore or Dulux products, and a 1-year written warranty.

Do you paint cottages for absentee owners?

Yes. We specialize in cottage work along Lake Nipissing, Trout Lake, Lake Nosbonsing, Callander Bay, and the Mattawa River. For absentee owners based in the GTA or elsewhere, we act as your single point of contact. We coordinate lockup and access, send daily photo updates, and handle the full project so the cottage is ready when you arrive.

What is the best time of year to paint in North Bay, Ontario?

Exterior painting in North Bay is best done between late May and mid-September, when overnight lows stay reliably above 10°C. Interior painting runs year-round. Fall and winter are actually the best time to book interior work: schedules are more flexible and we can often start within a week. Booking exterior jobs in winter locks in 2026 scheduling priority.

Is popcorn ceiling removal safe?

Popcorn ceilings installed before 1990 may contain asbestos. We always recommend testing a sample before any scraping begins. If the test comes back negative, removal is safe with standard containment, scoring, wetting, scraping, skim-coating, sanding, and repainting. If the test comes back positive, removal requires a licensed abatement contractor. We can coordinate that on your behalf.

Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

Yes. North Bay Painting Services is fully bonded, fully insured, and WSIB covered. We have been serving the Nipissing region since 2016. Every project is backed by a 1-year written warranty on workmanship. We carry current WSIB clearance certificates, which we can provide to commercial clients and property managers on request.
