Exterior Painting improves the value of your home, impress your neighbours, and bring your vision to life.
No matter if you have just purchased your first home, have a Calgary heritage house, property with difficult-to-reach areas, or a larger home requiring extensive work, Earl’s Paintworks is committed to the same attention to detail and quality workmanship for residential exteriors that we provide for interior painting.
Our surface preparation is impeccable. We begin our meticulous exterior painting process by ensuring all areas to be painted are prepared by cleaning them and sanding or scraping loose or peeling paint. Minor cracks are filled and rotten wood is removed, if needed. A quality primer is chosen based on the type of existing paint. We aren’t like other painting companies that use low quality paint or expect you to provide it then charge a premium.
The application method (brush, roll, or spray) is chosen by our expert Calgary exterior painters based on the best result for each surface. We only perform exterior painting in Calgary once temperatures reach 10°C or higher 24 hours a day. We use quality products and apply all coatings in a professional manner to enhance the look of your home for years to come.

What our clients say
“Great experience working with Earl and his team. Earl came out personally for a quote, was on time and friendly. They were able to start the job quickly, and finished much quicker than expectations. Great quality work, fast, and came in slightly under the quote. Crew was polite and clean, and left my home just as it was before they came. Highly recommend, would not hesitate to call them again!”

Get protected against the elements
Calgary doesn’t have tame winters, storms, or snow. These elements can be quite harsh on your home, paint, and other components. That’s not including regular things like rain, wind, or hail either. High-quality exterior paint jobs act as a guard and outer shield for homes. They can also prevent moisture from seeping into the house, prevent mold or mildew damage, and stop insects.
The enemies of exterior paint in Calgary
Temperature Changes
The annual climate cycle in most northern regions like Calgary affects the lifespan of your exterior painting. The wild temperature fluctuations experienced during freezing climates is the test of an exterior painting job. At times when the temperature can drop to below freezing temperature and return to normal temperature in the morning is potentially damaging the paint integrity. The freeze-thaw cycle places unusual stress on the paint coating, and the paint can crack and peel off if the paint used is not flexible.
Moisture
Even some of the quality paints cannot withstand this enemy. Moisture appears in different forms which can later damage the exterior painting of your home. High humidity, rain downpour, frost and snow can end up destroying the paint. Blistering, peeling, and mottling are some of the most common effects of moisture on exterior walls.
Poor Preparation
All the money you spent on expensive and quality paints and the lesser painting contractors will be wasted if they missed one important step in the preparation step. Prep work is important to guarantee a durable and quality exterior painting finish. However, this is among the most common mistakes and failures most painters commit. Paint contractors cannot skip a step in the prep without facing the consequence. Cracking and wax bleeding are among the common indicators of poor preparation work. Cracking often appears when the previously applied paint is not properly scraped off the surface. This also occurs when the paint is applied on rough surfaces, and painters skipped sanding and priming.
Ultraviolet Rays
Ultraviolet sun rays often result in fading of the paint. The disadvantage of direct rays of the sun is that the ultraviolet rays their exterior wall painting receives can destroy the binder of the paint. When binders break down, a pigment will be released. Heavy UV rays also increased the speed of paint colour deterioration.
Improper Paint Application
Improper paint applications result in flaking. You can choose the best exterior paint colour, but still not get the best finish you desire if the paint application process fails. When not properly coated with paint, moisture can easily penetrate walls or woods which can result in flaking.
These are some of the most common enemies that a good exterior painting works face. If you want to avoid an accelerated deterioration of your exterior wall painting, consult the professional painting contractors at Earl’s Paintworks. We have a skilled team of painters who can apply the necessary precautions, preparations, and protections to achieve what your money’s worth.
calgary exterior painters: conquering the elements
We spend time and money transforming our house into a home. We spend our savings to achieve the beauty and comfort we desire in the very place we rest and keep our family safe. However, some factors are out of our hands. Some contaminants and elements are beyond our control. For one, we cannot control the weather. It is important that when hiring professional painting contractors, they understand the toll that these weather conditions take on your home exterior paint. Keeping this in mind helps them to make better decisions and become a more reliable resource for the clients.

I was incredibly impressed with Earl and his crew! I typically don’t hire contractors without a personal recommendation, but after getting three different quotes, Earl stood out. He took the time to understand exactly what I needed, offered a fair price, and confidently estimated the entire job would take just four days.In January 2025, Earl and his team repainted my entire four-bedroom home, and they delivered exactly as promised—completing the job in just four days. The team were professional, personable, and went above and beyond, even taking care of extra details that weren’t part of the original quote. Earl’s efficiency, attention to detail, and commitment to quality were evident from start to finish, including a thorough cleanup at the end.I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Earl again for future projects, and I now highly recommend him and his team to family and friends!
Earl and his team did a fantastic job of painting my whole house and it only took 2 days! He gave the sharpest quote and his team provided excellent and professional service. I would recommend his services to anyone.
We got Earl and his team to completely redo our main and upstairs level. Baseboards, window and door trims, as well as paint the entire house, kitchen and bathroom vanity’s. Him and his team showed up on time, completely masked the house in 3 days and completed the work in the time quoted. Very helpful with ideas and problem solving. Earl’s carpenter also came in to do the wood work around the house, also part of the quote with very competitive pricing (best price out of 3 quotes even with extra work added on). Will hire Earl for all my future inside and outside paint jobs. Thanks again guys, you did an incredible job.
Earl and his team were great to work with. They completed the job faster than I could have thought possible, while maintaining top quality. The finished product is exactly what I hoped for. I highly recommend them for any future job.
Earl and his crew did a great job painting the trim on our home. There were challenges in trying to reach the height in some very tight spaces, however Earl provided a solution that no-one else had identified that was efficient, effective and the job was done at a very fair price. We would highly recommend.
Earl did a great job painting our place. We were on a rush since we wanted to get the place painted and the ceiling updated (we wanted to go from a popcorn texture to flat) before moving in and he did a great job accommodating time to finalize the job within the required time with an excellent result. I recommend his services 100%.
Earl and his team did a phenomenal job painting our house. The team was professional, courteous, and completed the work in one day! Highly recommend Earl’s Paintworks for all of your painting needs!
We hired Earl and his crew to paint the baseboards & walls of our basement. He is very good at answering emails and texts. Also is punctual when meeting for quotes and doing the work. I specifically wanted our baseboards lacquered and NOT brush or roller painted. It cost more, but the results speak for themselves. The basement was left clean and the furniture well covered. Great work from this company. Would recommend
Recently Earl painted the exterior of our house. The structure was very challenging and needed an enormous amount of prep work. Earl and his crew showed up every day on time and went full tilt for 4 days to get all the prep and painting done. The paint was all brushed and rolled.They were very professional and it was obvious that they take pride in their work.I did have trouble deciding on the colours and after a couple of stressful months, I followed up with a colour consultant that Earl recommended. It was money well spent and we are very pleased with how it turned out.I would not hesitate to recommend Earl and his crew.
Earl and his team helped me dramatically improve the interior of a recently purchased 1960 Bungalow. They prepped and painted the main level completely (ceiling, walls, windows, door jams, etc.) and did some painting in basement as well. Easy to work with from the start to finish. Great job, on time, and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Earl’s Paintworks. I will most likely be using their services again soon!
Earl is the best in the business! We hired Earl to paint the exterior of our 106 year-old heritage home that was in disrepair. Our house is a craftsman bungalow that required highly detailed workmanship. Because of the uniqueness of the house, and its heritage value, we were nervous to hire the job out to just anyone. We met with a number of companies and Earl's Paintworks stood tall above the rest. We loved that Earl was an owner/operator and knew after talking to him that he'd take great care with our beloved home. We weren't wrong! Earl and Jeremy were meticulous - sanding every nook and cranny to ensure a perfect finish that would stand the test of time. We wanted a tri-colour scheme to show off the home's craftsmanship, which required a lot of taping, cutting, and intricate work. Our neighbours would stop by to compliment Earl and Jeremy - blown away by the precision and quality of their work. Both my fiancé and I were sad to see them leave. Earl and Jeremy had become fast friends, always making time to stop and visit with us (despite putting in long days of hard labour). Couldn't recommend them enough! If you are looking for a painter, do yourself a favour, and stop here.
We recently hired Earl's Paintworks to repaint the entire interior of a newly-purchased home and could not be more pleased with the quality of the work and exceptional service provided from start to finish. We were on a very tight timeline & Earl (the owner) and Jeremy showed up ready to work 30 minutes after we took possession of the house. They put in long hours to finish the job in only 8.5 days, despite the fact that it was a massive project (3 storey house with over 30 windows/doors to paint around and some 20ft ceilings). The care they took to cover our hardwood floors, carpeting and cabinetry was remarkable - not a drop of paint left anywhere it didn't belong.Earl was truly a pleasure to work with, responded to our questions in a timely & friendly fashion, and provided knowledgeable (and realistic) advice on different finishes and colour options. He even went above and beyond to point out some small repairs that needed to be addressed around the house which was helpful to us as new owners. We had 4 different companies quote on the job and chose Earl's Paintworks based on a gut feeling that Earl was the right choice. Very happy with our decision - so much so that we're hoping to have them back this summer to do the exterior of our house as well.We would recommend Earl's Paintworks to anyone without hesitation. If you're looking for a hardworking, locally-owned company to do an efficient, professional, super high quality job, this is it!
We wanted the interior and doors repainted in our home in preparation for selling. We obtained a couple of quotes from painters. We ended up choosing Earl due to our positive interactions with him.This is a small but very professional company. It was good to work with a smaller company where the person painting your home is the actual owner and therefore, someone who took full responsibility for the work. Earl was very helpful with colour suggestions. He was easy to communicate with via both emails, phone calls and text. Earl was a perfectionist. He finished our 2 level 2000 sq ft home in about 6 full days. He came a few weeks later to do the exterior doors (garage and entry) when the weather was warmer.I would not hesitate to recommend Earl's Paintworks.
