Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful information about refinishing, preparation, estimates and project expectations.

What surfaces can Prime Spray refinish?

We work on many residential surfaces including exterior siding and trim, doors, garage doors, kitchen cabinetry, interior walls and suitable brick or masonry. The exact preparation and coating system depends on the existing surface.

Do I need to replace my cabinets or doors?

Not necessarily. If the substrate is sound and suitable for refinishing, professional preparation and coating can dramatically change the appearance without full replacement.

How long does a typical project take?

Timelines depend on project size, weather, curing requirements and preparation. Your estimate should include a realistic project window for the specific work.

What type of paint or coatings do you use?

For doors and windows, we use ACRYTHANE AQUA paint with its hardener. Our caulking products include ADSEAL and DOWSIL 795. See the product photos and warranty information below. Other coatings are selected for the surface being refinished.

Do you provide free estimates?

Yes. Prime Spray offers free, no-obligation estimates for residential projects in the service area.

Do you work year-round?

Interior work can often be completed year-round. Exterior work depends on temperature, moisture and product requirements.

What areas do you serve?

Prime Spray serves Montréal and surrounding Greater Montréal areas. Contact us with your location and project details to confirm availability.

Can I send photos for a quote?

Yes. Photos are very helpful for an initial assessment. For accurate pricing, an on-site visit may still be recommended depending on the project.
