When it comes to home upgrades, many homeowners in Edmonton want improvements that look great and boost property value. Whether you’re planning to sell your home or just want to freshen things up, repainting is one of the most cost-effective and impactful ways to do both. At Phoenix Painting, we’ve seen firsthand how a high-quality paint job can breathe new life into a home—and deliver a serious return on investment (ROI).

Here’s why repainting is one of the smartest home improvements you can make.

1. First Impressions Matter: Boost Your Curb Appeal

If you’re considering selling your home, first impressions are everything. A freshly painted exterior instantly makes your home look well-maintained and inviting. In Edmonton’s competitive real estate market, a sharp exterior can help your property stand out in online listings and open houses.

Bonus: Even if you’re not selling, coming home to a freshly painted house just feels better.

2. Interior Repainting Refreshes and Modernizes

Buyers—and guests—notice outdated or damaged walls quickly. Scuffed baseboards, old colour schemes, and faded paint can make even the cleanest home feel tired. On the flip side, a new interior paint job can completely modernize your space and give it a fresh, clean feel.

Popular Edmonton trends for 2025:

  • Warm neutrals (like Accessible Beige or Edgecomb Gray)
  • Earthy greens and soft blues
  • Bold black trims or navy feature walls

A modern paint palette can help prospective buyers picture themselves in your home—making them more likely to put in an offer.

3. It’s Affordable Compared to Major Renovations

Compared to remodeling your kitchen or installing new flooring, painting is a relatively low-cost project with major visual impact. According to real estate experts, a quality interior paint job can offer up to a 107% return on investment, while exterior painting can offer up to 55% ROI—especially if your home hasn’t been painted in several years.

At Phoenix Painting, we offer free quotes and clear pricing, so you can see exactly how repainting fits into your renovation budget.

4. Paint Protects Your Home, Too

Repainting isn’t just cosmetic—it protects your investment. Quality exterior paint acts as a barrier against Edmonton’s tough weather, including snow, UV rays, and moisture. Interior paint can also help prevent wear and tear in high-traffic areas and reduce the buildup of dust and allergens on walls and trim.

In short? A good paint job helps your home look great and last longer.

5. Small Change, Big Results

Paint is one of the few updates that can completely transform the look and feel of a space in just a few days. Want your kitchen to feel brighter? Paint the cabinets. Want your living room to feel larger? Choose the right soft neutral. Want to turn a plain room into a bold statement? Go with an accent wall or moody colour.

There are endless options—and the results are immediate.

Should You DIY or Hire a Pro?

Painting may seem like a simple DIY task, but there’s a big difference between a rushed job and a professional finish. At Phoenix Painting, we handle all the details:

  • Clean lines and proper edging
  • Full surface preparation and repair
  • Quality primers and premium paints
  • Neat, respectful crews who clean up when they’re done

We make the process easy, efficient, and stress-free—so you can enjoy results that truly boost your home’s appeal and value.
