Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Can C&C Painting handle both painting and renovation work?

We handle all aspects of painting and surface prep. For projects that also need structural work, we partner closely with our sister company C&C Construction to provide a seamless experience under one point of contact.

Can you refinish cabinets?

We specialize in kitchen cabinet refinishing with level 5 spray finishes. It's a smart alternative to replacement and costs far less.

Does your quote include the cost of paint?

Yes, our quotes are all-inclusive — premium coatings, labour, and prep. What you see is what you pay.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before reaching out?

Not at all. You can share the basics — type of space, rough size, what you're hoping to achieve — and we'll guide you from there. We're happy to answer questions before you commit to anything.

Do you serve Beaumont, Sherwood Park, and surrounding communities?

Yes. While St. Albert is our home base, we regularly work in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, and Sturgeon County. Reach out and we'll confirm coverage for your specific location.

Is C&C Painting fully insured?

Yes. C&C Painting is fully insured and carries WCB coverage for our crew. Homeowners and businesses can hire us with confidence knowing both the property and workers are protected.

What areas does C&C Painting serve?

C&C Painting is based in St. Albert and proudly serves homeowners across the Edmonton region. Our primary service areas include Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Sturgeon County, Beaumont, and Fort Saskatchewan. We regularly complete interior and exterior painting projects in high-demand communities such as Windermere, Keswick, Oleskiw, Donsdale, and Cameron Heights. Not sure if we cover your area? Give us a call — chances are, we do.

What information do you need to do a quote?

Access to the location for a precise quote. For residential interiors, provide square footage, number of rooms, colours, and if it includes walls, ceilings, doors, and trim. If unsure our estimators will help to go over the details and options.

What information should I have ready when I contact you?

It helps to know the type of project (interior, exterior, cabinets, commercial), the approximate size of the space, and your general timeline. But don't worry if you're still figuring things out — we'll help you think it through.

What painting services does C&C Painting offer?

We provide residential and commercial painting throughout St. Albert, Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and Beaumont — from full interior and exterior repaints to kitchen cabinet refinishing. Whatever the project, we bring 30+ years of experience and a no-shortcuts approach to every job.

Residential Questions

What colours and finishes are available for cabinet painting?

The colour options are virtually unlimited — any paint colour can be matched. For finish, we typically recommend a satin or semi-gloss for cabinetry, as these hold up to daily cleaning and use. We'll walk you through the options during your consultation.

How is professional cabinet painting different from a DIY repaint?

The difference is in the process and the finish. We use a factory-style spray application that produces a smooth, brush-mark-free surface you simply can't achieve with a roller or brush at home. We also properly clean, degloss, and prime before spraying — steps that are critical to a finish that holds up over time.

What cabinets can C&C Painting refinish?

We primarily refinish kitchen cabinets, but we also work on bathroom vanities, laundry room cabinetry, built-ins, and closet systems. If it has a surface worth saving, we can refinish it.

Will my kitchen be completely out of use during the project?

We work to minimize disruption. Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are removed and sprayed off-site at the C&C Painting spray shop. So your kitchen remains partially functional throughout the process.

Is cabinet painting worth it compared to replacing cabinets?

For most homeowners in St. Albert and Edmonton, yes — significantly. A professional cabinet refinish can transform the look of your kitchen for a fraction of the cost of new cabinetry. If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound, refinishing is almost always the smarter investment.

How do you protect my landscaping and windows during exterior work?

We take care to mask all windows, doors, and fixed fixtures, and we protect landscaping and walkways throughout the job. Leaving your property clean and undamaged is part of the standard we hold ourselves to.

Do I need to be home during the exterior painting?

Not necessarily. Once access is arranged to your exterior, our crew can work independently. We'll keep you updated on progress and let you know when the job is complete and ready for your walkthrough.

How often should a home exterior be repainted in St. Albert?

Most homes in the Edmonton and St. Albert area benefit from a full exterior repaint every 7 to 10 years, depending on the material, sun exposure, and quality of the previous paint job. A proper prep and premium coating will get you to the far end of that range.

Do you paint ceilings and trim as well?

Yes. A complete interior repaint typically includes walls, ceilings, trim, and doors. We'll confirm exactly what's in scope during your estimate so there are no surprises.

Will there be strong paint fumes in my home?

Modern premium paints produce significantly less odour than older formulas. We also ensure adequate ventilation throughout the job. Most families are comfortable returning to freshly painted rooms the same day.

What kind of paint do you use for interiors?

We use premium-grade interior coatings that offer excellent coverage, durability, and washability. We'll recommend the right sheen and product for each surface — whether that's a high-traffic hallway, a bathroom, or a bedroom. Cloverdale is our most recommended brand, but we also work with Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams.

How many paint colours are included in a standard quote?

Our standard quotes typically include one wall colour and one trim colour. If your project involves additional colours or accent walls, we'll factor that into your estimate during the consultation.

What's included in your interior painting service?

The C&C Painting process covers everything: prepping surfaces, filling cracks and holes, sanding, masking, priming, and applying premium topcoats. We don't just paint — we prepare, and that's what makes the difference in the finish.

What sets C&C Painting apart from other residential painters in St. Albert?

Thirty years of consistent, professional work. We show up when we say we will, we keep your home clean throughout the job, and we don't cut corners on prep — because that's what makes a finish last.

Do you offer both interior and exterior residential painting?

We do. Whether you're refreshing your living spaces or protecting your home's exterior from Alberta weather, C&C Painting handles both with the same level of care and preparation.

Can you repair drywall or patch surfaces before painting?

Yes. Surface preparation — including filling cracks, patching drywall, and sanding — is a core part of our process. We don't paint over problems; we fix them first.

Do I need to move all my furniture?

We ask that you move small breakables and fragile items. The C&C Painting team will properly mask and protect surfaces before work begins.

How long does it take to paint a house?

For a typical 3 to 4-bedroom home in St. Albert, our crew generally completes the job within 3 to 4 days. Larger or more complex projects will take longer, and we'll be upfront about that in your estimate.

Can you paint exteriors in Alberta's climate?

C&C Painting uses exterior coatings rated for Edmonton's temperature swings and UV exposure. Proper surface prep and quality materials mean your paint lasts through the seasons.

How much does residential painting cost in St. Albert?

Interior projects typically range from $2,000 to $15,000+, depending on the size of your home and the prep required. We provide fixed, itemized quotes within 24 hours so you can plan your budget with confidence.

When is C&C Painting booking exterior painting?

Booking starts after May long weekend, and runs until September/October. We closely monitor the weather and reschedule if rain, high winds, or frost are forecasted, as paint requires specific conditions to adhere properly.

How long does it take to finish a kitchen?

The timeline depends on the size and material of the cabinets. Most small to medium jobs typically take around a week to complete. Extras, such as handle deletion and replacement, can extend the schedule.
