    From the first interaction with Shelby to the paint colour consultation with Amanda and the first day meeting with the wonderful Gurwinder, Urban Painter lived up to their value proposition and promise.<br><br>We couldn’t be more thrilled with thquality of the work and the total experience we had with the team. Gurwinder in particular was exceptional as the team lead and truly cared about the final product. Daily update texts and clear communication was the icing on the cake.<br><br>I would absolutely recommend Urban Painters and Gurwinder.

    We had a great experience with Ahmad, Amanda and The Urban Painter! He painted a very tall and awkward entryway and patched an unsightly crack. Ahmad was quick, efficient, friendly and very professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Ahmad and The Urban Painter. Thank you for a great experience!!

  • Nathan Pittman5.0

    Urban Painter did a great job on our project. They were flexible with our quote, adding some new scope while removing other items as our plans changed during the project and still finished on time and on budget. The team was friendly, reliable, and delivered quality work. Highly recommend!

    The Urban Painter painted the exterior one of my family's rental properties. All of the people we worked with were approachable and helpful. Before signing off on the job, the site supervisor did a walk through with me then came back to make sure everything was looking as good as possible. They have definitely thought deeply about the whole customer experience. It was a pleasure working with them.

    Extremely impressed with the entire team, from Jenn to Nikii but especially Gagan and Harmanpreet. They worked extremely hard and their attention to detail was fantastic. On top of everything, they were super kind and communicative. Definitely will use this company again and will request Gagan and Harmanpreet :)

Company Background

About The Urban Painter

The Urban Painter turns up in reviews for jobs that need a careful eye on colour. One client in Hillhurst hired the company to paint a Victorian Painted Lady and praised how the crew matched paint and finish and handled tight corners. Another said consultant Amanda matched the existing house colour in front of them at the quote stage, and never pushed extras they did not need.

The company says it has worked in Calgary since 2008 and describes itself as a team with 18 years behind it. The shop is at 3603 2 Street NE. It paints interior walls, ceilings, trim, cabinets and drywall repairs, and exterior stucco, siding, trim, fences and decks. It also does commercial interiors and exteriors, floor coatings and stairwell painting, which suits owners of mixed property portfolios. Colour help is part of the package, since every project comes with a free colour consultation and an Urban Colour Box of test samples.

The credentials on its site are COR certification, which is a workplace safety audit, and $5 million in liability coverage. It lists a 3-year warranty that begins after a final walkthrough and a Perfect Colour Guarantee. Alberta does not license painters provincially, and the site does not mention WCB, so ask for a WCB clearance letter along with the insurance certificate.

Reviewers named several people. Jerry led a crew that painted all the outer trim on one home, Michaela guided a client through pricing and timelines as project consultant, and Amanda handled that colour-matched quote. The five recent reviews read were all five stars. The fair caution is practical: the site names almost no one on the crew and does not publish neighbourhoods it serves, so confirm your area when you book.

It suits homeowners in older inner-city neighbourhoods and anyone who wants colour guidance. It suits less well people shopping on price alone. Before booking, ask for a written quote with coats, prep and brands, confirm the 3-year warranty terms, and request the WCB clearance. 4.8 from 536 Google reviews, read November 2, 2026.
