Painting of Toronto Row House

There were many city planning reasons for building row houses and saving space was one of them. In large cities, especially European cities, where space is limited and population is large and growing, that kind of thinking makes sense. The Greater Toronto Area is large and expansive, so the need for row houses in the suburbs is not there. In fact Townhouses make more sense. In Downtown Toronto, that is a different story. Space is limited and of course land was available at a premium. As a result, high density housing made perfect sense. Affordability of housing was of course an issue.
So how would proud homeowners of a row house in the city of Toronto make their house stand out? How would they express their individuality? Some colourful front gardening, a new front door, maybe some landscaping would help. But nothing can make a statement as loud as a strong paint colour can. Painting the main exterior architectural elements of the front of a house can do wonders for its look.
Of course painted exteriors of brick and main body surfaces are common in Cabbage Town and someone can see hundreds of painted exteriors in the Kensington Market. But it takes boldness to pick a colour and make your house stand out as the homeowners did for this Richmond Street W. row house. The Exterior Painters of Ecopainting were hired to paint this fresh and distinctive grey blue colour. Exterior flat paint was used by SICO to paint the brick. Two coats were used after the brick was pressure washed.
The metal roof over the porch was also painted. A Direct To Metal (DTM) acrylic was used to paint the the roof in an almost black colour from Pittsburgh Paints. The transformation is very obvious. This Toronto Row house is now …different.
