Since 1984, University Painters has proudly provided Ottawa and the surrounding area with professional, award-winning interior and exterior painting services. We're not a franchise; we're locally owned and operated. The current owner is James Cleary who founded University Painters in 1984 as a summer business while attending Carleton University.
After graduating from Carleton in 1987 with a B.A. in law, Mr. Cleary expanded the business to year round service. With Mr. Cleary's attention to details and excellent customer service, the operation grew from $30,000 in annual sales to over $600,000. During this growth phase, University Painters began doing commercial jobs and hiring full time professional painters became the norm.

We had University Painters paint our downstairs hallways and upstairs landing which involved painting a two-story open section about 15 feet high. In three days Fabio did some crack filling and other gyproc fix ups, primed everything that needed priming and put on two coats on walls, ceiling, trim and doors (7 of them). Fabio also was unfailingly positive, friendly and helpful - we're super-happy. University Painters had also recommended Denis Kasprowicz of Oasis Building Services to modify the hall closet for us, replacing floor to ceiling sliding doors with by-folds. Denis was also super to work

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
We are thrilled with the finished product of the painting of our main floor( with very tall walls) and upper hallway by Fabio. He was efficient, professional, tidy, kind and made sure everything was finished to perfection. I would highly recommend him and would certainly have him come again whenever we need painting done.

Fantastic service from University painters. Gilles was our painter for painting a tall interior stairwell and hallways, and was quick, clean, professional and did an incredible job in record time. All of the University painters team were very responsive and focused on getting our job scheduled and completed on time, and they were very attentive to our requests. Overall, strongly recommend this great team.
