University First Class Painters

At University First Class Painters, we are proud to be Canada's premier student painting contractors, providing exceptional painting services to thousands of satisfied clients across the country since 1982. Our company was founded by Michael Benteau, our company president, while he was enrolled in his first year of a business degree. The idea was simple: to provide a summer job that would allow students to pay for their education while also providing a high-quality painting service to homeowners and businesses.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide top-notch painting services to our clients while also providing business entrepreneurship and employment opportunities to students across Canada. We believe that by empowering students with the tools and resources they need to succeed, we can create a team of dedicated and skilled professionals who will deliver exceptional service to our clients.

Our Services

Our painting services are designed to meet the needs of homeowners and businesses alike. We offer a wide range of exterior and interior painting services, including decks, fences, vinyl siding, trims, and small jobs. We also provide power washing and stucco painting services to ensure that our clients' properties look their best. Our team of skilled and trained student painters use only the highest-quality paints and primers, and we stand behind our work with a comprehensive guarantee.

Our Approach

At University First Class Painters, we believe that our commitment to excellence is what sets us apart from other painting contractors. We use proprietary technology and support programs to ensure that our student managers and their staff have the competitive edge they need to deliver service beyond expectation. We also provide comprehensive training and support to our student franchise managers, including online training resources, cutting-edge estimating technology, in-class training, and field training.
