Modern, clean, and move‑in ready. Here is how a professional interior painting refresh elevated a downtown Toronto condo – step by step.
Project scope: Interior painting services throughout a one‑bedroom modern condo near Davenport Rd, Toronto. Walls, ceilings, doors, baseboards, and select accent areas. Low‑VOC Benjamin Moore paints for healthy indoor air.
At a Glance
- Location: Davenport Rd, Toronto
- Home type: Modern condo apartment
- Primary goal: Brighten and unify spaces, repair minor wear, and deliver a durable, washable finish
- Products: Benjamin Moore Regal Select (eggshell for walls), Benjamin Moore Ultra Flat (ceilings), Benjamin Moore Scuff‑X (satin/semi‑gloss for trim & doors)
The Process, Matched to the Photo Sequence
1) Protection and Prep
What we did:
- Laid full‑coverage protection on all flooring and balcony thresholds so there are no paint transfers
- Removed switch and outlet plates then labeled and stored hardware in baggies for easy re‑install
- Patched nail holes and minor dings, skim‑coated stress cracks, and sanded flush for a level surface
- Vacuumed dust and wiped walls so paint adheres properly
Why it matters: Great results start long before paint hits the wall. Clean, repaired surfaces help finishes lay down smoothly and last longer.
2) Ceilings First
What we did:
- Rolled ceilings with an ultra‑flat finish to hide light reflections and minor ceiling imperfections
- Cut crisp edges where ceilings meet walls to set our reference line for the rest of the room
Pro tip: Ceilings go first so any minor splatter lands on walls we will paint next.
3) Walls: Cut, Roll, Repeat
What we did:
- Applied two uniform coats of Benjamin Moore Regal Select eggshell for a soft, wipeable sheen
- Maintained a wet edge and rolled top‑to‑bottom to avoid lap marks in natural light
- Color matched throughout the condo so the living room, hallway, and bedroom read as one cohesive space
Result: Brighter, more open sightlines and consistent color from room to room.
4) Kitchen Detailing and High‑Touch Zones
What we did:
- Masked backsplash edges and cabinet gables to protect finishes
- Used smaller rollers for behind appliances and tight returns
- Selected a washable eggshell on walls near cooking areas for easy cleanups
Homeowner benefit: Real‑life durability where splashes and fingerprints happen most.
5) Bedroom Refresh and Light Control
What we did:
- Repaired wear behind the bed frame and at closet corners
- Painted walls to reflect natural light from the window without glare
- Checked color in morning and evening light so the tone stays consistent
Result: A calm, restful space with soft reflection and no roller tracking.
6) Trim and Doors: The Sharp Details
What you see in the sixth photo: Baseboards, door casings, and slab doors with a fresh satin or semi‑gloss sheen.
What we did:
- Lightly sanded and de‑glossed existing trim, then caulked seams for seamless lines
- Applied Benjamin Moore Scuff‑X on baseboards and doors for superior scuff resistance in hallways
- Reinstalled hardware and aligned striker plates so doors close cleanly
Why it matters: Crisp trim lines make new wall color pop and keep high‑traffic areas looking new longer.
7) Bathroom Touch‑Ups
What we did:
- Used a moisture‑tolerant bathroom paint on walls and ceilings
- Cut tight lines along tile and silicone edges without disturbing existing seals
Outcome: A fresh, bright bathroom that resists humidity and is easy to maintain.
8) Final Walkthrough and Clean‑Up
What we did:
- Peeled tape on a slightly damp edge for razor‑clean lines
- Reinstalled outlet covers and door hardware, vacuumed floors, removed coverings
- Touched up pinholes and performed a detailed light‑check from multiple angles
Result: A modern condo that looks brighter, larger, and professionally finished.
