How Much Does It Cost to Paint a Condo or Apartment in Toronto?

A straight answer, with a price breakdown by unit size — no guessing.

It is the first question almost every Toronto condo owner asks, and most websites dodge it. So here is a direct answer: painting a condo or apartment in Toronto typically costs between about $900 and $3,500, depending mostly on the size of your unit and what is included. A small studio sits at the low end; a large three-bedroom unit with ceilings and trim sits at the top.

On a per-square-foot basis, interior condo painting in Toronto averages roughly $2 to $3.50 per square foot of floor area for walls, including premium paint and labour. The table below shows realistic ranges by unit size for 2026.

What Affects the Cost of Painting a Condo?

• Square footage: The single biggest factor — more wall area means more paint and labour.
• Ceiling height: 9-ft, 10-ft, or vaulted ceilings need more material and setup than standard 8-ft ceilings.
• Number of colours: Keeping it to 2-4 colours avoids extra cut-in time and cost.
• Colour change: Going from a dark colour to a light one (or covering bold accent walls) can require an extra coat.
• Ceilings and trim: Adding ceilings, baseboards, doors, and closets increases scope beyond walls alone.
• Prep and repairs: Drywall patching, nail-pop fixes, or popcorn ceiling removal add to the total.
• Move-in / move-out timing: Painting an empty unit before you move in (or before handing back a rental) is faster and often cheaper.
