Sharp Window Trim Makes Your Home Stand Out
Window frames, sills, and trim are some of the most visible detail elements on your home’s exterior. When they’re peeling, cracking, or faded, the whole house looks tired. Freshly painted window trim creates clean lines that frame your windows and make your home look crisp and well-maintained from the street.
We paint all types of exterior window elements: wood frames, aluminum frames, vinyl trim, window sills, muntins, shutters, and decorative trim around windows. Our painters work carefully around glass, weatherstripping, and caulking to deliver a clean, professional finish. We also inspect for rot and moisture damage during preparation and make repairs before painting.
Our Window Painting Services
Window Frame & Sash Painting
We sand, prime, and paint window frames and sashes with durable exterior semi-gloss paint. Every frame is carefully masked to protect glass and weatherstripping. The result is crisp, clean lines that frame your windows perfectly.
Window Sill & Trim Painting
Window sills and surrounding trim take the most weather abuse. We repair any rot or damage, apply exterior primer, and paint with two coats of premium semi-gloss for maximum durability and water resistance.
Shutter Painting & Refinishing
Faded or peeling shutters drag down your home’s appearance. We remove shutters when possible, sand, prime, and paint them to look brand new. Whether wood, vinyl, or composite, we use the right products for each material.
Window Caulking & Sealing
As part of our window painting service, we inspect and replace deteriorated caulking around window frames. Fresh caulking prevents drafts, water infiltration, and energy loss while creating a clean paint line between frame and siding.
Why Choose Us for Window Painting
Window painting requires steady hands, attention to detail, and the right products. A sloppy window paint job is obvious and hard to fix.
- Precision Work – Window painting is detail work. Our painters have the steady hands and patience to deliver clean edges against glass without relying on tape alone. The result is crisp lines and a professional finish.
- Rot Detection & Repair – We inspect all window frames and sills for moisture damage and rot before painting. Damaged wood is repaired with wood hardener and filler, or replaced entirely. Painting over rot is a waste of money.
- Weather-Rated Products – Window trim faces direct rain, snow, and UV exposure. We use premium exterior paints and primers designed to flex with temperature changes and resist moisture penetration.
- Energy Efficiency – Fresh caulking and properly sealed window frames reduce drafts and heat loss. Our window painting service includes caulk inspection and replacement, saving you money on heating and cooling.
- Whole-Home Curb Appeal – Clean window trim ties your entire exterior together. Combined with fresh siding and door paint, updated window trim gives your home a complete facelift.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does window painting cost in Ottawa?
Exterior window painting typically costs $75-$200 per window, depending on window size, style, condition, and accessibility. A full home with 15-20 windows usually costs $1,500-$3,500 for all trim and frames. We provide free quotes.
How often should exterior window trim be repainted?
Exterior window trim should be repainted every 5-7 years, or sooner if you notice peeling, cracking, or bare wood. South-facing windows and those exposed to weather may need more frequent attention. Regular maintenance prevents costly wood rot repairs.
Can you paint aluminum window frames?
Yes. We use specialized metal primers and paints that bond to aluminum surfaces. The key is thorough cleaning, light sanding for adhesion, and using a primer formulated for non-ferrous metals. The finish is durable and can change your window colour completely.
Do you paint vinyl window trim?
Yes, vinyl trim can be painted using paints formulated for vinyl and PVC surfaces. We use lighter or similar colours to the original to prevent heat-related warping. The result refreshes faded vinyl trim without the cost of replacement.
Will you repair rotted window frames?
Yes. We assess all frames during preparation. Minor rot is treated with wood hardener and filled with two-part epoxy filler. Severely rotted sections are cut out and replaced with new wood. All repairs are primed before painting.
What colour should I paint window trim?
White is the most popular and versatile window trim colour, creating clean contrast against any siding colour. Black trim is trending for a modern look. Some homes look great with trim that matches the siding for a monochromatic style. We help you choose the best option for your home.
