Emily Hemeon

We’ve used Parnell during various stages of our renovation, including our ceilings, bedrooms, and most recently our entire basement. We cannot say enough great things about Jack and Audrey. Their professionalism, attention to detail, communication and pricing is unmatched. They do an amazing job from start to finish, and are extremely respectful while working in your home. They have easily been the most stress-free part of our reno. Highly recommend!!

Richard Johnston

It is my pleasure to recommend Jack and Audrey Parnell co-owners of Parnell Painting. They spent at least an hour or more discussing my particular exterior painting and staining/varnishing exterior project, then sent me a very detailed quote covering the washing, protection of surfaces, scraping and sanding, caulking and painting and staining/varnishing details. My job was completed on time and in fact I was so pleased I asked for some more work to be done. They kept me informed all the way along and were excellent and very professional. I will use Parnell Painting without hesitation again next year as I have some other work in mind. Straight "A"s in my opinion, cheers, Rich Johnston, Nanaimo, BC.

Parnell just finished painting our bedroom, closet and basement ceiling. It is so nice to have perfectly painted, fresh and clean walls and ceilings. Parnell takes great care in paint colour selection and matching and preparation for their projects. In recent years Parnell has painted the exterior of our entire home and our new deck. Parnell is our painter of choice. They are experienced and dedicated to excellence. Thank you Parnell!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Parnell Painting's estimates free and fixed-price?

It provides free written estimates. The quoted price does not change unless additional work is requested.

What drywall work is included, and what falls outside its scope?

Each quote includes standard patching and sanding for small imperfections. For major drywall work or skim coating, it recommends a dedicated drywall professional.

Are exact start and finish dates guaranteed for exterior painting?

No. Exterior work is weather-dependent, so exact dates are not guaranteed. If conditions interrupt the work, the team returns when conditions allow.
