What this trade needs
We hold no licence to check for this category, so insurance and WSIB clearance are what a homeowner compares. That says what we hold, not what the province requires: nobody here has checked whether Ontario licenses this work. References and a written scope do the work a licence check would otherwise have done.
Ask before you hire
How many coats, and is primer included on new drywall or a colour change?
Which paint and which line, since the same brand sells four grades?
Is patching, caulking and sanding in the price or extra?
Who moves and protects the furniture?
We hold no licence to check for painting, so ask for two references at a job like yours and get the scope in writing.
You asked for the trade Painting, and the words "walkway and steps", and businesses serving Toronto. Of the 12 businesses listed, none match every one of those.
The cost band and the licence requirements above still apply. They are what you need to judge a quote from anywhere else: whether the price is in the range, and whether the person quoting is allowed to do the work at all.
Listings here are seed data for demonstration and are labelled as such on each profile. Cost bands are what GTA homeowners are typically quoted, not offers. Always confirm a licence number against the issuing registry yourself before work starts.
