Exterior Painting Services
Transform the outside of your property, from siding and trim to decks and fences.
Overview
Exterior Painting in Calgary and surrounding areas
Exterior painting is the most visible work we do, and the most dependent on preparation. Surfaces have to be clean, sound and dry before anything is applied, or the finish will not last.
Alongside siding, trim and doors, we stain decks and fences — the surfaces that take the hardest wear from Calgary winters and the most sun in summer.
We assess the property first, tell you what we find, and agree the scope with you before we start.
What's included
What we cover.
The surfaces and work most commonly included in a exterior painting project.
Surface assessment
We walk the property and identify what needs attention before painting begins.
Cleaning and preparation
Cleaning down surfaces, scraping back loose or failing paint and sanding where required.
Priming where appropriate
Bare, patched and problem surfaces are primed before the finish coats go on.
Siding and cladding
Repainting exterior wall surfaces in your chosen colour.
Trim, fascia and soffits
The detail work that frames the house and does the most for kerb appeal.
Doors and garage doors
Front doors, garage doors and other agreed exterior features.
Deck staining
Decks and stairs cleaned, prepared and stained, including railings where they are painted rather than stained.
Fence painting and staining
Fences scraped back, prepared and refinished in either stain or paint.
Cleanup
Masking, coverings and debris removed, and the site left tidy on completion.

FAQ
Common questions.
Something not covered here? Ask us when you request your estimate.
How much does exterior painting cost in Calgary?
Cost depends on the size of the property, the surfaces involved, access, and the condition of the existing finish. Project requirements vary. Contact Alpaca Painting for an assessment and a free estimate.
Do you stain decks and fences as well as painting houses?
Yes. Deck and fence work is part of what we do — cleaning and preparing the boards, then staining or painting them depending on the surface and the finish you want.
How long does an exterior painting project take?
Exterior timelines depend on the size of the property, the preparation required and the weather. Project requirements vary. Contact Alpaca Painting for an assessment and a free estimate.
What time of year is best for exterior painting in Calgary?
Exterior work needs dry surfaces and suitable temperatures, which in Calgary means the warmer months. The right window depends on conditions and on your property, so we will talk that through when we assess the job.
Do you prepare the surfaces before painting?
Yes. Cleaning, scraping back loose paint, sanding and priming where appropriate are part of the work. The exact preparation needed is confirmed after we assess the property.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. Estimates are free. Tell us about your property using the estimate form, or call (403) 860-6050, and we will be in touch.
