There really isn't any reason to keep looking for home painters. It's been solved by Mike and team at Royal Home Painters. There's enough other reviews on here to convince you but I'm adding my endorsement. From start to finish, the team took care of all our questions and concerns. The work itself was fantastic. The only regret I have is Google only allows 5 stars. 10+ are deserved.
Royal home painters is one of the BEST painting companies out there regardless of if you prefer recolouring inside or outside. We had them come to our home to refresh colours for doors, windows along with the garage door. They explained everything in a clear manner. They sanded every corner before starting a new coating in an extremely hot day. Very dedicated Teamwork under Mike. We are truly satisfied with their performance & results. highly recommend 👏🏽
Thank you,

Scraped off old popcorn in my twenty year old apartment and re-plastered with two coats of paint - and done a day early!
RHP just recently completed a huge project for us - painting of the entire large newly built house! And let me start with the attitude - it is hard to overestimate the right attitude when you deal with contractors. Mike and his staff are simply a pleasure to deal with - punctual, professional, detail oriented, well organized, skillful and, what’s really important, humble! No matter how many times you bug them, they always remain polite and respectful. They deliver what has been promised and do not try to squeeze every buck out of you. I would gladly recommend RHP to anyone who’s looking for seamless process from the very beginning to the very end with the top notch results!!!
I hired Royal Home Painters to repaint kitchen and bathroom vanity cabinets in my condo recently. They did an excellent job! They were able to go in before the tenant moved out to remove the cabinet fronts to get them painted at their shop. And then come back to paint the cabinet boxes another day. The quality of their painting was excellent.
The other huge help they provided was I needed a new kitchen peninsula rebuilt and installed. They supplied and installed this peninsula, along with new quartz countertops, backsplash and a new sink. And did an amazing job on this as well! All done for a reasonable price.
Mike was especially helpful - very professional and proactive - and what I appreciated the most was he took the time to ensure minor deficiencies in the peninsula were addressed in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use them again on future painting jobs!

Our kitchen turned out better than new. Amazing service and attention to detail. Very accommodating and they were able to deliver on time. We loved their work so much that we had them also do our basement kitchen. Masood treated the project like it was his own kitchen.
We used Royal Home Painters to paint the exterior of our house and they completely transformed our house and brought it back to life. The team was incredibly responsive and detailed. Pricing was fair for the project size and work. I also noticed a few areas that needed touch ups and they were quick to respond and ensure everything was perfect. We have already received so many compliments from neighbours and love the result.
Absolutely LOVE my kitchen makeover! Sam and his team were not only efficient, clean, professional and on time but the overall result was so beautiful!! Very very happy client!!

We hired Royal Home Painters for our staircase staining project to match our new hardwood floors, and we’re blown away by the results. The finish is flawless, and the colour match is spot on. The crew was clean, professional, and careful every step of the way. It completely changed the look of our main floor — we couldn’t be happier!

Our staircase had years of wear and a yellow finish we hated. The team at Royal Home Painters stripped it down, stained it a rich espresso, and added a protective clear coat. It looks absolutely stunning now! They finished in 3 days, left no mess, and were super respectful of our home. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about refinishing their stairs.

Staircase painting and staining services typically range from $1,200 to $4,500+, depending on the size, condition, number of steps, and whether you’re painting, staining, or doing both.
Our service includes sanding, stripping, surface prep, painting or staining of treads, risers, spindles, railings, posts, and stringers, plus protective topcoats and full cleanup.
Yes — but we must strip all existing paint completely to expose the wood grain. This process is more labor-intensive but achievable with the right prep and sanding.
Most interior staircases take 2 to 4 days to complete depending on complexity, drying time between coats, and the scope of the work.
Absolutely. We provide custom stain matching to blend your stairs with existing flooring, especially in open-concept or multi-level spaces.
Staining showcases the natural wood grain and offers a warm, elegant look. Painting provides a modern, customizable aesthetic. We often combine both for contrast — painted risers and stained treads.
Yes. We offer low-VOC and water-based stains and paints that are safer for your home, kids, and pets, with fast drying and minimal odor.
We use dust-control sanding equipment and plastic sheeting to seal off the work area, ensuring a clean, livable space throughout the project.
Access is restricted during certain phases, especially after stain and topcoat application. We’ll help schedule the work to minimize inconvenience and ensure drying time is respected.

Interior Staircase Refinishing & Staining in Toronto
Why Refinish Your Staircase?
Interior staircases are high-traffic focal points — but over time, they can become worn, scratched, or outdated. Instead of replacing the entire structure (costly and invasive), staircase staining offers a cost-effective way to modernize your space, restore natural beauty, and create visual harmony with your floors and décor.
At Royal Home Painters, we specialize in interior staircase staining and painting services across Toronto and the GTA. Refinishing offers a high-impact transformation with minimal disruption, whether you’re updating for resale or simply want to bring elegance back into your home.
What’s Involved in Staircase Staining and Painting?
The process of staircase staining begins with sanding and stripping the existing finish — especially critical for stair treads and handrails. If staining, the wood is conditioned and evenly coated with your chosen tone, followed by multiple coats of clear polyurethane or water-based sealants for durability.
For painting, we clean, prime, and apply durable trim or cabinet-grade paint, typically to risers, spindles, stringers, and posts. Our detail-oriented team ensures brush-free finishes through professional spray or fine roller techniques, depending on the component.
We use only high-performance products from trusted brands like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Minwax, offering low-VOC and fast-curing options ideal for residential environments.
Colour & Design Trends in Toronto
In Toronto homes, two-tone staircase stainings are increasingly popular. Homeowners often choose:
-
Matte black treads with white risers and spindles
-
Natural wood stain that complements luxury vinyl or hardwood floors
-
Espresso or dark walnut stains for a timeless, dramatic look
-
Soft greys and warm taupes for transitional interiors
We offer in-home colour consultations to help you choose the perfect finish for your home’s style, lighting, and flooring.
