From the beginning, Dee was extremely helpful and professional, guiding us to make sure we were comfortable with the approach and saved us money on unnecessarily expensive paint while still ensuring we had top quality materials. We also really appreciated his sense of safety in these physical distancing times and his concern for our comfort. > > When we booked, he sent Cameron to work on our place and we immediately understood why he had said Cameron is who he’d have paint his own home. Cameron worked diligently and was a very friendly and chill person to have in our home for a few days. He also did a great job of working around us while we worked from home, which can’t have been easy. > > The result is beautiful, exactly what we wanted and done to an exacting standard. We couldn’t be happier with the result and would without hesitation work with them again and recommend them to anyone we know. > > Both Dee and Cameron treated our home with the same care as they would their own and we truly couldn’t be happier with our interactions with Colour Works from start to finish! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks so much for the kudos, Robin! You've been very kind and accommodating to work with. I know it couldn't have been easy for you to manage working from home while clearing your personal items from our path as the painting progressed from room-to-room. So, it especially means a lot to us that despite your own efforts to make this happen, you've also recognized how we care for our customers and your property under any circumstance, and we truly appreciate the patience and cooperation you provided to make the whole process so smooth. ### All 45 reviews **★★★★★ — Ruth J., Oct. 2024** > We had an awful paint job done as part of a very challenging renovation. Colour Works came in always cognizant of our situation, cleaned up (painted)the mess and restored it to a thing of beauty. They are prompt and efficient, respectful and courteous and a pleasure to deal with, from Dee through to Denis and his team. > Before they left we discussed seeing them again to do the exterior painting. **★★★★★ — HU-357392339, Sept. 2024** > While Dee from ColourWorks did not offer the most favourable price amongst the several quotes I received, I was, however, very impressed with his meticulous and thorough observations while examining our condo for an estimate. Furthermore, I highly praise Dee for his expertise in choosing the right paint colours for the space and eventual users (the condo being a seniors residence). His written estimate was very detailed and his project lead, Dennis, made sure everything stated in the estimate was carried out. > > Dennis and his team members were very pleasant to work with; they did not show any impatience when asked to do several small touchups upon finishing the work and they properly cleaned up after themselves. The result was superb and the entire newly painted space reminded me of the condo when it was first purchased from the developer. > > If you are looking for a professional paint job for your desired space without worries, go no further and contact Dee from ColourWorks! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're truly grateful you chose ColourWorks Painting Design for your condo painting project in Toronto. It's wonderful to hear you were impressed with both the thoroughness of our estimate process and the expertise we provided in selecting the perfect colours for your space. While we may not have been the least expensive option, delivering the highest quality result—especially for condo painting—requires meticulous planning and execution. Our focus is on providing exceptional value with every project, ensuring a worry-free experience and superior results to duly transform your condo to the level needed to list for sale in this highly competitive home sales market. We’re glad everything met your expectations, from the detailed estimate to the final clean-up. Thank you again for trusting us with your Toronto condo painting project, and we look forward to serving you in the future! > > DEE POTTER (he/him) > ColourWorks Painting Design > www.colourworkspainting.com > info@colourworkspainting.com > 416-920-4482 **★★★★★ — sk, Sept. 2024** > We had a great experience with ColourWorks painting our basement: walls, floor, ceiling. Dee suggested many options, discussed pros and cons, helped us visualize them, and gave us competitive quotes for the various options. Then Dennis and team did a great job of painting, and were very friendly and efficient too. We are very happy with how it turned out and with the whole experience. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thank you so much for your kind review, Swastik! It was a pleasure working with you and your family and I’m thrilled to hear you had a great experience with ColourWorks for your basement project. It was a pleasure helping you explore various interior painting options and finding the best solutions for your walls, floor, and ceiling. Our Toronto team, led by Denis, always strives to provide friendly, efficient service while delivering top-notch results. We're so happy you're pleased with how everything turned out. If you ever need more interior painting services in Toronto, we’d be honoured to assist again! > > ~ DEE POTTER (he/him) > ColourWorks Painting Design > www.colourworkspainting.com > info@colourworkspainting.com > 416-920-4482 **★★★★★ — HU-326403153, Aug. 2024** > The painting matched what was contracted. The painters were very cooperative. They addressed all issues beautifully even after they left the site. **★★★★★ — Martinez Junior, Aug. 2024** > It's a long due. We recently had the pleasure of working with ColourWorks Painting Design for the interior painting of our home, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the final brushstroke, the team exhibited professionalism, creativity, and an unparalled attention to detail. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Many thanks for sharing the kudos! It's very much appreciated :D **★★★★★ — kellyhadden1, Aug. 2024** > We had a small but multi-faceted job to tackle, so we sought bids from three different providers on HomeStars. Uncharacteristically, we didn't go with the lowest bid; instead, we chose ColourWorks based on the value presented during the estimate. Dee stood out by asking insightful questions, noticing details I had missed, and showcasing a depth of knowledge that gave me confidence in their work. I wasn't disappointed—his team completed the job meticulously, kept everything tidy, and were a pleasure to work with. Five stars from us! **★★★★★ — HU-268963790, July 2024** > Couldn’t be happier with the work done on my house by Dee, Denis, and Ladi. Dee’s estimate, care for my home, and willingness to meet my timeline were beyond a pleasant surprise, and the work carried out by Denis and Ladi far surpassed my expectations. Great crew. Incredibly polite and exceedingly conscientious from prep to cleanup. These guys are my go to paint company from now on. Many many thanks Dee, Denis and Ladi! **★★★★★ — Edward Quan, July 2024** > Exterior painting including a very challenging west side where painters had to contend with limited access including fences, Bell and Rogers cables and a grumpy neighbour with mature landscaping . The job was done neatly and efficiently with excellent paint coverage to hide the previous colour and sharp delineation between the two paint colours used. Job was completed within a week with care and cleanliness. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thank you so much for kudos! I'm especially proud we crafted a successful plan to paint the exterior on the "tough side" of your beautiful home. We're grateful to you for giving us the opportunity to show you what we can do and we look forward to the next phase of the exterior staining project. Thanks! :D > > DEE POTTER (he/him) > ColourWorks Painting Design > www.colourworkspainting.com > info@colourworkspainting.com > 416-920-4482 **★★★★★ — acicvaric, July 2024** > ColourWorks painted our soft and eavestrough and the team did a top-notch job! They showed up on time, cleaned up each day and were very pleasant to deal with. I would use their services again. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thank you! Your kind feedback for the exterior painting we completed on your beautiful Etobicoke home in Toronto is much appreciated! We'll look forward to hearing from you any time you need interior painting or additional exterior painting and staining. > > DEE POTTER (he/him) > ColourWorks Painting Design > www.colourworkspainting.com > info@colourworkspainting.com > 416-920-4482 **★★★★★ — HU-415860641, Sept. 2022** > Dee and his team were extremely professional and the results show. We needed our whole house repainted, wallpaper removed, walls patched, and other details taken care of. It was all done in a timely, professional manner with great communication through the process from start to finish. We'd be happy to work with ColourWorks painting again in the futurea From our side, we're extremely happy with the results, and are also very impressed with Francisco and his team. They were a pleasure to work with over the last 7 days. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Fantastic to hear! We'll look very much forward to working with you again any time you need us. Thanks!! :D **★★★★★ — Robin Gilmore, March 2022** > Our realtor suggested we amp up the design of our place with a wood feature wall. We'd already had a great experience with Colourworks painting our condo in 2020, so we reached out to see if they do feature walls. Luckily, they do and they got us booked in really quickly. Dee helped us make sure we were picking the right paint colour for our project -- do take advantage of Dee's great eye for colour, he will not steer you wrong. Cameron came in the morning and in only a few hours we had a beautiful feature wall. We are really pleased with the quality of the work and the result is even better than we'd hoped. Our realtor is also really happy with the outcome! Colourworks is the only painting company we would ever call, they're the best! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks so much for the kudos, Robin! It's great customers like you that make it easy for us to do our best work. We'll look forward to painting for you again wherever and whenever you need us. **★★★★★ — HU-852323939, April 2021** > We just bought a house and were looking to have a bit of painting done...we ended up getting the whole house done...even a customized accent wall in my son's bedroom. Right from the get go, Dee was extremely helpful and professional, sharing with us his knowledge and expertise. No question was silly. He ensured that we had top quality paint and materials at a reasonable price. His guys were friendly and professional and the end result is fantastic! **★★★★★ — ashley Jacot De Boinod, Oct. 2019** > I've been using Colour Works for several years now and am always so impressed not only by the quality and professionalism shown, but they are very reasonably priced and Dee is the best to work with! Very grateful for their work **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > It’s always a pleasure working with you, Ashley. Thank you so much for the very kind review.! :D **★★★★★ — HU-817099736, Oct. 2019** > My condo looks spectacular! Dee really knows how colour works! I was so impressed with the time Dee took to understand the interior style I had in mind, and what I ultimately wanted my place to look like. He was so enthusiastic about even looking at ideas/pictures I had found on the internet. Dee is an expert in choosing the best colors & finishes to make your home look its best. He uses quality paints, that will keep your walls looking amazing for years to come. Cameron (painter) was professional and detailed. I had a wall in need of a lot repair, and he totally made it look brand new. Cameron was always on time, friendly, neat, and tidy. He made it so easy for me to still live in my condo for the week he was painting. It was such a pleasure to work with these 2 very professional, and skilled gentlemen. I thank you both for the amazing work! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > It's always great to hear when someone appreciates the lengths we go to help our customers. And you've put it so eloquently here, it truly means the world to us. Thanks so much! **★★★★★ — A Logan, Oct. 2019** > Mr Potter and his crew at Colour Works painted my very large house in its entirety from top to bottom. Walls, trim, ceilings and crown moldings all in various colours, it was a huge job with a very short period of time, we are selling and it need to be completed on time. His crew are some of the most talented painters I have ever seen in my life. They were extremely professional, very polite and courteous and the quality of the finished product was absolutely outstanding. I cannot say enough about the people at Colour Works, they are simply the best I have ever seen and recommend them with a 5 star+ rating. > Alan L **★★★★★ — Liz Gray, Sept. 2019** > Great Company to deal with. Painters are professional, experienced, easy to deal with, clean up after themselves, and quality workmanship. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks, Liz! You’ve been terrific to work with and very accommodating in helping my guys do their work most effectively. We’ll look forward to hearing from you again when you need us. :D **★★★★★ — HU-730711748, Sept. 2019** > Dee was able to turn around my request in two days and his crew did an amazing job, helping raise the value of my condo before selling. I highly recommend for their amazing work and personal touch. I would only use ColourWorksPainting going forward. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re pleased with our service; and it was entirely our pleasure to work with you. You’re focused, efficient and decisive; all elements of the perfect home service customer. Thank you for helping us make it happen so smoothly and rapidly. **★★★★★ — Kathy Skead, Sept. 2019** > It was a pleasure to work with Dee and his team to repaint my front porch. The work was completed timeously and within budget. The paint job is meticulous and looks fantastic. Thanks for a great job Dee! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks, Kathy! It’s always a pleasure working with you, and I’ll look forward to hearing from you again when you’re ready for the next interior project. Thanks so much! :D **★★★★★ — Kathy Kinnear, June 2019** > Been using Colourworks on various projects for 15 years. Always a pleasure to work with them. Dee is always extremely helpful and his people are efficient and careful. I have had nothing but good experiences with this company and I highly recommend them. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > I can't thank you enough for your loyalty and your great sense of design. It's always a pleasure to work with you. :D **★★★★★ — Aileen Hutchison, Dec. 2018** > We have used ColourWorks in the past, so when we purchased a home, we called them to paint it. It was a large project and the budget was becoming a concern. Dee was great about working with us to determine what we could and couldn’t live without and how best to manage the cost. He was able to get a crew to do the project on short notice and with a short turnaround time. Denis and his crew were excellent. They are very detailed and thorough. They had the house to themselves the first week, but the project continued after we moved in and the crew were polite and courteous and did everything they could to minimize disruption. When an issue arose, Dee and Denis quickly addressed it and ensured the solution was satisfactory to everyone. We would (and probably will) use them again. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks Aileen! It's been a pleasure helping you prepare your new home. It was a big job with a tight deadline, and we really appreciate everything you did to accommodate us toward a successful end. Until next time, I wish you and your family a very happy holidays and all the best for the new year! :D **★★★★★ — HU-956565628, Nov. 2018** > Dee and his crew (Julian) at COLOURWORKS > helped me out of ‘a jam’ due to a plumbing leak. They provided fast and efficient services while repairing dry wall, touching up paint and caulking 2 bathrooms. > I would highly recommend COLOURWORKS > and use them for future jobs since they do professional work and they were easy to deal with while organizing everything so quickly. > Thanks for a meticulous and awesome job! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thank you for the kind words. I’m so glad we could help you! **★★★★★ — Michael Train, March 2018** > We used Colourworks to paint our condo prior to listing it for sale. Dee was incredibly knowledgable and professional, and gave us a detailed quote - something that many of the other painting companies don't do. He sent Cameron to do the work, and we couldn't be happier. Cameron was kind and did a fantastic job. We will be using their services again when we close on the new house. Thanks guys! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > That's awesome, Michael. Thank you for the kudos! It's been really great working with you. :D **★★★★★ — Ann F, Oct. 2017** > I couldn't ask for a better experience! > > I was looking to get my entire condo painted, and I contacted ColourWorks as a result of the reviews here on Houzz., and I am so glad that I did. Within less than 24 hours of sending an email to DEE I had a consultation booked that same week. I appreciated the time DEE took in understanding what I wanted, explaining to me the process, and going over the colours I picked. > > Cameron and his team were excellent. Super professional, efficient, great attention to detail, organized and NEAT. They showed up at the agreed to time and asked questions when needed (which were not many to begin with - which speaks to previous point above). The overall job took less than 2 days to complete and within the agreed to budget. > > I will definitely be using ColourWorks again in the future and be providing their name to anyone who is looking to get painting done. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks so much, Ann. You were so well prepared, you made it easy for us give you the look you were after. I hope you enjoy the new look of your home for years to come, > and we'll be delighted to work with you, and anyone you'd like to refer, whenever you need us. . :D **★★★★★ — Teresa Ronci, July 2017** > When I decided to list my condo, I needed to get quality paint work and some smaller maintenance stuff done. I had no idea what I was doing and didn't have much experience with contractors. I popped into the Benjamin Moore store up the street, asked for a referral, and they gave me Dee's number. When I called Dee, I heard back within the hour, and he had my project scheduled before the end of the week, despite the fact that his team was already jam packed with jobs. He also sent me one of his best guys - Cam - who was just an amazing solutions guru, hard worker, and great guy. The quality of work is impeccable, and the service (and kindness) is remarkable. > > My go-to for all future painting and renos for sure. > > Terri **★★★★★ — Jennifer Long, April 2017** > Over a year ago we moved into a pre-construction condo, with bare white primer painted walls. Everywhere. When we finally decided it was time to get some colour on the walls, we got a recommendation from a family member. Dee and his team did not disappoint. From our initial consultation, Dee spent over an hour with us, helping select colours and identify the best use of our money. That was a win for us. There were many rooms that needed to be painted, we didn't want to do it ourselves and we didn't want it to break the bank. With some initial ideas on paint colours, Dee helped us select colours that fit our space and our design tastes. Dee quickly scheduled for his crew to come the following week - and knowing that we had a party on the Saturday, he made sure to have our living room and powder room completed. His crew - Cameron and Chad - did such an amazing job, and we know this was money well spent. Even though they were in our home for 3 days, there presence was surprisingly noninvasive. I cannot say enough good things about their professionalism and quality of work. If I ever need a painter again in the future I know who I'm going to call! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks so much, Jennifer. You guys were awesome to work with! :D **★★★★★ — Therese Garnett, April 2017** > We hired Dee to paint some of our interior rooms (entrance way, hallway, kitchen, laundry room and basement bedroom), including trim, etc. The whole experience was very pleasant and Dee provided some excellent advice on colour choices (I was going mad with numerous swatches throughout my home) and paint finishes. The paint job itself was excellent - Dale Butt did a great job in all rooms and cleaned up nicely after all was complete. We are very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Colourworks. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Music to our ears! Thank you for sharing your positive experience here on Houzz. We love what we do, and we're glad you do, too. :D **★★★★★ — Kevin McCormick, Nov. 2016** > We were very pleased with the service from ColourWorks and will hire them again for any future painting needs. They were professional, friendly and very easy to deal with. The job was completely exactly as required on-time and with high quality. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks, Kevin! This was very kind of you to share, and we'll be honored to help whenever you need us. :D **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2016** > ColourWorks did an excellent job when painting my property. I would highly recommend this company to others looking to get interior painting done. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > How very kind of you to share your experience here, Morrigan. We truly value you as a customer and greatly appreciate the positive feedback! :D **★★★★★ — Carm McCormick, Nov. 2016** > Dee and his team are amazing! So professional in that they came when they said they were going to come and the quality of their work was impeccable. We had the exterior of our house painted but, to my husband's dismay, I've already started collecting a list of other areas where I want Dee and his team to come and work their magic. They were on time, they were on budget and a real pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Angela Macri, Nov. 2016** > ColourWorks Painting Design was very helpful with its suggestions given our particular situation in a new condo with early deficiencies and very accommodating as far as timing both in waiting until we were ready and then meeting a deadline. ColourWorks was reasonable when pricing, honestly helping to keep costs affordable without having the quality of work suffer. On that note, the work was professional, neat and impressive. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thank you, Angela. It's been nothing short of a pleasure working with you, and wish you both many happy years in your beautiful new home. :D **★★★★★ — Greg Van Slyke, Nov. 2016** > We hired Colour Works to paint our new backyard wooden garden shed. They had previously painted the interior of our home (2014) and did a great job, so they were the only company we thought of when we needed professional painting services. This was a small job (2 days) but it was done on time, on budget, and the workmanship was first rate. My recommendation: call these guys ! **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks, Greg. It's always a pleasure working with you guys. :D **★★★★★ — Nathan Robitaille, Nov. 2016** > Dee was recommended to my wife and I years ago. We've worked with him more than once and we'll definitely work with him again. We recently had ColourWorks apply the finishing touches to a sunroom extension and our newly finished basement. Dee is quick to respond, he's thorough with his quoting and scheduling and generally speaking, he's just a genuinely pleasant guy. He scheduled Julian and Jack for this last project. They showed up on time, they were tidy, fast, polite, and they constantly went above and beyond. The pride that these guys show in their work is astounding. True professionals. Toronto is lucky to have them. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > This is very kind of you; many thanks, Nathan! You're always more than a pleasure to work for. :D **★★★★★ — Biblio Tekka, Nov. 2016** > Both Dee (owner) and Dale (painter) were absolutely fabulous! Dee gave great advice and Dale was so meticulous, kind and a pleasure to deal with. He takes great pride in his work and the end job was above my expectations. > The overall care and professionalism exhibited by Dee and Dale puts ColourWorks Painting Design in a class above any other company I have dealt with in the past. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind feedback. We love what we do, and we're glad you do too! : D **★★★★★ — Eileen Stewart, Nov. 2016** > Great painters! Clean and finished the work professionally and on time. It was a pleasure to work with Dee and his team. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks, Eileen. It's entirely my pleasure to work with you always! :D **★★★★★ — mopgirl, Nov. 2016** > I was looking for a colour consult and Dee from ColourWorks Painting came to the rescue. He was current with the latest and greatest looks in design and translated the look I was after perfectly. **★★★★★ — jill\_comerford, March 2016** > We've relied on Colourworks for a number of projects over the past decade and have always been very pleased with the results. The service is exemplary! We highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — kkaralis, Feb. 2016** > I hired ColourWorks Design to repaint our entire condo and let me just say we are EXTREMELY happy with the results! > > The whole process from initial consultation, quote, scheduling and to end of project took 1 week. Dee was very professional and helpful with assisting us in choosing a particular set of colours (we already had some in mind \[Pinterest/Houzz\] we just needed a bit of 'personality'). I originally wanted to go with very dark greys for an accent wall and he consulted us based on the decor and lighting we would be redecorating with (very honest!!). We also changed 2 of our colours and Dee was great with checking in with us and making sure our work order was very detailed. The invoice/work order was very detailed and we really appreciated this as it was formal--it really shows that they care about the service their providing you. > > We had Cameron from Dee's team. He was very professional, prompt and friendly! I also liked that they were very accommodating around our work schedules and which rooms to start with. > > Thank you so much team ColourWorks for making our condo more 'homey'. We love it! **★★★★★ — baehd213, Dec. 2015** > Exterior Townhouse Painting > > After interviewing 3 Painting Companies Dee was a standout for his professionalism, knowledge and recommendations. We had a tight time frame to get the job done and Dee went the additional mile to make this happen. Cameron was very hard working, polite and proficient and did an amazing job. We will certainly use Dee again and highly recommend him to others. **★★★★★ — greason40, Nov. 2015** > The knowledge and professional work by ColourWorks was exceptional. Attention to details, superb knowledge of products and a great respect for their clients makes ColourWorks our first choice **★★★★★ — kbc42, Nov. 2015** > Dale, our painter from Colourworks has done great work, we are very pleased with the results. Our Master bedroom, third floor, upper hallway and 2nd bedroom all look fantastic. Dale's prep work was excellent, the walls all looks much better now. We decided after seeing the back bedroom done completely in Chelsea Gray and loving it so much that the Master bedroom would also look better with the Athabaska Blue wrapped onto the ceiling. (thank you Dee! perfect colour recommendation) It really looks great! Your choice of matte finish paint was the right way to go, especially for this house. > We very much appreciate the quick scheduling and turn around. Again, Dale has been very pleasant and done a terrific job. Easy to tell he takes pride in his work. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks for the kudos! I'm especially honored for the opportunity you gave us to help you personalize your grand historic home and thrilled you're enjoying the results of our work. Perhaps when you've got the rooms set up the way you want them, you could share a picture or two for the Houzz community to see? You've got a home to be proud of! :D **★★★★★ — michellekszabo, Nov. 2015** > I hired Dee and his team after I had a terrible experience with another painting company (Paint York - whom I will review elsewhere). I'm so glad I did. What a difference! Dee was in the neighbourhood and was able to come only a few minutes after I initially called him to give me a detailed quote. His painter (I wish I could remember his name) came a few days later and did a wonderful job. He took every precaution to make sure my cabinetry and floors were protected. He did an excellent prep job to smooth and even the walls before painting. And the paint job itself is great - even and expertly done. I highly recommend ColourWorks. **Comment from ColourWorks Painting Design:** > Thanks Michelle, for taking the time to post your words of appreciation when I know how much you've been let down by other trades before. I guess it goes to show that good things can come from the ashes! And I'm honored you entrusted me of all the candidates you had to choose from with your home's makeover. And by the way, the painter I assigned to look after your project was Dale; one of our finest finishers. Enjoy your new home! **★★★★★ — bgl\_gildersleeve, July 2015** > We have had ColourWorks Painting to our home three times for separate projects. My only warning is that they do such a great job that I want to have my entire house painted - they are so good it is addictive! The professional quality of the painting is unbeatable. **★★★★★ — anndyt\_alberto, May 2015** > This is one of the few experiences I have had with a company who showed superior customer service and actually delivered what they claimed they would. The job was done quickly and efficiently to every one of my expectations, and I am picky! I would highly recommend their services. **★★★★★ — pattymeyerson, Sept. 2014** > ColourWorks Painting was a great choice for us and we have no hesitations giving our highest recommendation. They were extremely professional throughout our entire experience. They are the real deal. ## Selected projects - [Home Resale Painting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-resale-painting-pj-vj~6094207) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Interiors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interiors-pj-vj~6094340) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Toronto Victorian Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/toronto-victorian-home-pj-vj~712242) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 29 - [Arjay Crescent Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arjay-crescent-kitchen-pj-vj~2308354) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 8 - [County Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/county-cottage-pj-vj~5939590) - Location: Prince Edward, ON - Photos: 13 - Description: Summer resort cottage in Prince Edward County, Ontario.
