General contractors and homeowners choose us for dependable service that aligns with their schedules. Our work meets inspection criteria, looks professional, holds up over time.Experience taught our painting teams what new builds require. Drywall preparation follows specific sequences, trim finishing demands multiple applications with intermediate sanding, walls need proper treatment for smooth results. Quality materials applied systematically prevent future problems.
The Three Stages of Custom Home Painting
New home painting differs fundamentally from repainting lived-in spaces. Everything transforms – schedules change, complications multiply, coordination becomes critical. We don’t simply arrive on opening day and begin rolling paint. We work alongside builders, sync with carpenters, coordinate around tapers and other crews. Our proven method reliably delivers professional finishes. Here’s our complete approach from beginning to end:
Drywall Priming
When drywall finishing completes, priming operations begin. We spray then backroll ceilings for uniform distribution. Walls receive rolled application only – spraying gets skipped. Why? Construction environments stay dusty throughout. Spraying walls traps floating dust, creating rough feel. Rolling produces better results, moves quicker, requires less masking work. Ideal balance of speed and quality outcomes.
Initial Painting
We start initial painting once tile work finishes and carpentry wraps up. Best conditions include completed floors, installed vanities, hung cabinets. This sequence keeps subsequent trades from damaging fresh coatings. Sites should be cleared – tools removed, materials relocated, workers finished. Basic cleanliness should exist before we begin.
Initial painting divides into four parts – surface prep, spray work, wall coating, and thorough site cleanup.
Preparations
Every nail hole gets patched, all trim and door damage receives repair. We caulk hundreds of joints between walls and woodwork. Tiles, windows, floors all get shielded from overspray. Quality preparation takes time.
Spray Painting
All trim receives spray primer, gets sanded until smooth. Second primer coat applies, followed by more sanding. Two finish coats complete the process, each separated by sanding. Four total applications create perfectly smooth trim. Doors get complete coverage – both sides and all edges.
Walls Painting, and Clean-Up
Walls receive light sanding then first rolled coat. After second application, final sanding ensures smooth finish. All protection gets removed, windows and floors receive cleaning. Accent walls and color transitions show precise lines without bleeding.
Paint Touch Ups
After final trades complete – plumbing, electrical, countertops – we return for touchup visits. We repair whatever damage occurred during their work. Usually takes 2-4 days based on trade count and their care level.
Marked walls get touched up, scratched trim receives attention, damaged sections get repainted. Stair staining fits perfectly here with traffic eliminated. Final walkthrough with homeowner or builder confirms everything looks perfect.
