  • Free on-site measure

    We see the walls before any number is final.

  • Fixed written price

    It changes only if you change the scope.

  • One contract, one contact

    You sign with TDNP. We run the crew, the schedule and the cleanup.

  • Warranty from 3 months

    Length and terms are written into your estimate.

We pick our projects carefully

A fixed price is only fair when the scope is clear and the job suits our crews. If it does, we measure for free and put the price in writing. If it doesn't, we'll say so on the first call.

The flashlight test

Hold a light flat against a wall and every seam shows. Level 4 is the standard finish for flat paint in most rooms. Level 5 adds a skim coat over the whole surface for glossy paint, big windows and long side-lit walls.

Most rooms don't need Level 5. We'll tell you which walls do.

Condos, by the building's rules

Send us your building's contractor rules before we book. The estimate covers what they ask for.

  • Hallways protected

    Runners, door covers and dust walls where needed.

  • Quiet hours kept

    Noisy work only in the hours the building allows.

  • Building paperwork

    Tell us early what the building asks for, so we can confirm what we can provide.

Questions

How do I get a price?

Call or request a callback. We give a rough range on the phone, then measure for free and send you a fixed written price.

Is there a minimum job?

Yes. Drywall jobs start at $1,500, painting jobs at $1,000 and a repair visit is $350. Every job needs a trip, setup, protection and cleanup, so very small jobs cost more per square foot.

Who does the work?

TDNP is the general contractor. You sign with us; we estimate, schedule and manage the job, and experienced drywall and paint crews we work with do the work. One person from TDNP is your contact from the first call to the final walkthrough.

What does the warranty cover?

Our workmanship, from 3 months depending on the project. The length and the terms are written into your estimate before you sign.

Do I need a Level 5 finish?

Usually not. Level 4 is the standard for flat or matte paint in most rooms. Level 5 is worth it under glossy paint, big windows or long walls lit from the side. We point out those walls when we measure.

Do you work in condos?

Yes. Send us your building's contractor rules before we book: elevator booking, work hours, floor protection and any paperwork they ask for. The estimate covers them. If the building needs a certificate from the contractor, tell us early so we can confirm what we can provide.

How long does a basement take?

It depends on size and what is already done. The basement suite on this page took about two weeks from bare studs to paint. Your estimate includes a realistic schedule.
