Welcome to JDavis Painting

JDavis Painting is a locally owned and family operated painting company based in the east end of Toronto. The JDavis Painting team is passionate about bringing new life to homes and businesses, and they believe that communication is the key to a great relationship. Are we quoting a Prime Minister here? We’ll have to look it up.

The Short version

Here’s the Coles Notes: JDavis Painting was founded by Jeff McLeod and Kirstyn Hardy, a dynamic duo with an unwavering commitment to exceptional service and a shared vision of building community – within their own team and the neighbourhoods  they serve. Yes, they are a couple, and yes they are writing this page about themselves in the third person.

“We are professional, experienced, and highly trusted problem solvers. And as a genuine way of saying thank you for considering our business, we’d like to treat you to a cup of coffee. Simply send us a text to 647.490.4030 and let us know you’d like to discuss your upcoming project over coffee.”
