Homes from every decade

Kanata started as a planned garden-city community in the 1960s. Its first street, in Beaverbrook, was built in 1964, and Beaverbrook and Glen Cairn are its oldest neighbourhoods. Morgan's Grant followed from the late 1980s, and Kanata Lakes is still growing. Stittsville is older as a village, founded in 1854 around Carp Road and Hazeldean Road, but most of its homes went up after city water and sewer arrived in the 1980s.

What that means for painting

  • 1960s and 1970s homes in Beaverbrook and Glen Cairn fall in the years when, according to Health Canada, exterior paint may contain lead. Old exterior trim should be checked before it's scraped or sanded.
  • 1980s to 2000s builder homes often still have their original flat wall paint, which scuffs and marks easily, and oak trim and cabinets that owners want brightened.
  • Newer townhomes often belong to a condo corporation that sets the exterior colours, so check before painting doors or trim outside.
  • Textured ceilings are common in older homes. Health Canada says asbestos was commonly used before 1990, so they should be tested before removal.

What a painting customer said

I asked them to re-paint some rooms in my house, and the painter did an excellent job. The mistakes from years ago were erased. He even painted behind the toilets.

Painting in Kanata and Stittsville: questions

Do you paint houses in Kanata and Stittsville?

Yes. Carleton Prime Painting paints interiors and exteriors across Kanata and Stittsville, including houses, townhomes and condos.

My Kanata townhouse is part of a condo corporation. Can I paint the front door?

Check your condo's rules first. Exterior doors, trim and siding on condo townhomes are often controlled by the corporation, which sets the colours.

Should I worry about lead paint in a 1960s Kanata house?

Health Canada says exterior paint on homes built between 1960 and 1990 may contain lead. It shouldn't be sanded or scraped without knowing, so tell us when your home was built.
