How much does exterior painting & staining cost in Toronto?
Most Canadian homeowners spend $3,000-$8,000 to repaint the full exterior of a typical two-storey home in 2026 - roughly $3.50-$6.50 per square foot of paintable surface. A smaller single-storey bungalow runs about $2,500-$4,500, while large multi-storey homes, stucco or masonry, or heavy trim and dark-to-light colour changes push jobs to $12,000 or more.
In Toronto, ON, typical quotes tend to come in above the Canadian average, so the table below nudges these national figures up by roughly 15% at the low end of each range and up to 30% at the top end.
What moves the price: The low end is a single-storey bungalow or a small job like a front door; the top end is a large multi-storey home, stucco or masonry surfaces, and heavy trim work.
| Project | Typical cost in Toronto |
|---|---|
| Full exterior repaint - two-storey home (1,500-2,500 sq ft) | $3,700-$10,000 $2,900 to $15,500 per project |
| Full exterior repaint - bungalow / single-storey (up to ~1,200 sq ft) | $3,100-$4,300 $2,100 to $6,000 per project |
| Paint vinyl or aluminum siding | $3-$4.25 $1.75 to $5.75 per sq ft |
| Stain or seal a wood deck | $3-$5 $2.25 to $10 per sq ft |
| Stain or paint a fence | $3.75-$6.25 $2.25 to $18 per linear foot |
| Paint soffit, fascia & exterior trim only | $1,500-$2,700 $925 to $3,900 per project |

| Repaint front door or garage door | $250-$625 $170 to $900 per project |
What changes the price of exterior painting & staining in Toronto
- Surface condition and prep - peeling, cracked, or weathered wood and chalking siding need scraping, sanding, power washing, and priming; heavy prep can add $1-$2 per sq ft and is usually the biggest swing in a quote.
- Surface material - smooth vinyl, aluminum, or wood siding is cheaper to coat than rough stucco, brick, or fussy wood trim, which soak up more paint and take longer.
- Paint or stain quality and number of coats - premium exterior paint and solid stains cost more per can but last longer, and two coats cost more than one.
- Labour is 60-75% of the bill - access difficulty (multi-storey walls, steep rooflines, tight landscaping) drives the labour hours that dominate the total price.
- Colour change and detail work - going dark-to-light, using multiple colours, or painting lots of railings, spindles, and trim adds coats and slow cutting-in time.
- Home size and number of storeys - more surface area means more paint and labour, and tall or steep spots need ladders, scaffolding, or lifts that add hours and equipment cost.
How exterior painting & staining prices vary across Canada
Big cities run meaningfully higher, almost entirely on labour. Metro Vancouver and BC are typically the most expensive - deck staining runs $3-$8 per sq ft there versus $2-$5 nationally, and exterior jobs sit at the top of every range. Toronto and the GTA carry a similar urban labour premium. Alberta tends to be the most competitive of the big-city markets, and smaller towns and rural areas trend about 10-15% below the national range.
These are typical Toronto-area price ranges based on 2026 Canadian market data, not quotes. Your actual cost depends on the size and details of your project. Post your project on Bidmii to get free quotes from the 186 exterior painting & staining contractors listed in Toronto above.

Is it better to stain or paint a deck or fence?
Staining is usually cheaper upfront, soaks into the wood, and is easy to refresh without heavy scraping - about $2-$5 per sq ft on a deck. Paint can cost a bit more and hides flaws well, but when it fails it peels and needs more prep next time. Most people stain wood decks and fences and paint siding.
How often do I need to repaint or re-stain?
Good exterior paint typically lasts 5-10 years depending on sun and weather exposure. Deck and fence stain wears faster because those surfaces take direct sun and foot traffic, so plan to re-stain every 2-4 years to keep the wood protected.
When is the best time to book exterior painting in Canada?
Exterior work needs dry weather and temperatures generally above 10C, so most jobs happen May through September. Booking in spring often gets you better crew availability and sometimes better pricing than the peak-summer rush.
