What to know before hiring a painter in Moncton
Painting is unlicensed in New Brunswick. Ask for liability insurance and WorkSafeNB coverage, especially for exterior work on ladders. Homes built before 1980 may have lead-based paint on trim and older layers; sanding it without containment is a health hazard, and a painter should tell you how they handle it.
Get the scope in writing: surfaces, number of coats, the product line, colour codes, how repairs and caulking are handled, and what is moved or masked. For exterior work in Moncton, ask which months the painter considers safe for the product they are using, because temperature and moisture limits are printed on the can.
Moncton is the trades hub for southeastern New Brunswick, with cold snowy winters, periodic ice storms and a bilingual workforce. Post-war neighbourhoods in Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview are reaching the age where roofs, furnaces and electrical panels come due together.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time for exterior painting in Moncton?
Whenever the surface is dry and the temperature stays within the paint’s printed range day and night. In Southeastern New Brunswick that usually means late spring to early fall; a painter who works outside those windows should explain which product makes it possible.
Should a painting quote in New Brunswick include taxes?
A written quote should show the pre-tax price and the taxes separately, plus what materials are included. A cash-only, no-invoice offer leaves you with no recourse if the finish fails.
Do painters in Moncton need a licence?
No. There is no painting licence in New Brunswick; some municipalities require a business licence. Insurance, references and a detailed written scope are what protect you.
How many coats should interior walls get?
Two finish coats over a prepared surface is the norm; a colour change from dark to light or new drywall usually needs a primer first. A quote for one coat is usually a quote for a job you will redo.
