A paint job is 80% preparation and 20% paint. The crews that skip the prep are the reason so many Barrie homes have peeling window trim and flashing bedroom walls two years later. GDS Landscaping and General Contracting paints it properly: full prep, quality coatings, crisp lines — interior and exterior, across Barrie and Simcoe County.
What’s Included
- Interior painting — walls, ceilings, trim, and doors; bedrooms to full-house repaints, including occupied homes worked around your schedule
- Exterior painting — siding, brick, stucco, fascia, and soffits, with coatings rated for Ontario freeze-thaw
- Cabinet refinishing — sprayed factory-smooth kitchen and bathroom cabinets at a fraction of replacement cost
- Drywall repair before paint — cracks, nail pops, and patches fixed and skimmed so they don’t telegraph through the new coat
- Colour consultation — honest guidance on what works with your light, flooring, and fixed finishes
The Prep We Don’t Skip
Every interior job starts with protection — floors masked, furniture wrapped, hardware removed rather than painted around. Walls get filled, sanded, caulked, and primed where needed; glossy trim gets scuffed so the new coat bonds. Outside, we pressure-wash, scrape to sound wood, prime bare spots, and caulk the joints that let water in. Two finish coats minimum, always.
Barrie’s weather sets the exterior calendar: we paint exteriors from late spring through early fall, when temperatures and humidity let coatings cure properly. Book exterior work by early spring — summer slots go fast.
