Exterior Painting and Handyman Repairs
Danforth
Project Overview
Neil MacLeod, who lives on the Danforth area, contacted Home Painters Toronto because he saw rot in multiple areas outside of his house. He had a real concern about water damage continuing to get worse. With numerous surfaces peeling and rotting, he wanted both the repairs completed and a new paint finish that would modernize the appearance of the home.
Neil chose Home Painters Toronto for their reputation, responsiveness, and ability to manage both carpentry and painting. As experienced exterior painters, they were the right choice for this project.
Exterior Painting and Handyman
The Challenge
The project came with time pressure. Neil was concerned about ongoing leaks and needed quick action before further damage occurred. The wood rot was more widespread than initially expected, impacting the back windowsill and the garage door frame. Peeling paint and wear on multiple wood surfaces added to the complexity.
The team also had to carefully match new paint colours and ensure a clean, updated look despite existing damage. As expert painters in Toronto, Home Painters Toronto had the skills to navigate these challenges and provide lasting solutions.
The Result
Home Painters Toronto handled everything from carpentry to exterior painting in one smooth process. The team replaced rotted wood on the window sill and garage frame, completed all repairs quickly, and applied a new, modern colour scheme. Neil was especially happy with the speed and quality, pleased that his home was protected and refreshed in just a short amount of time.
