How We Paint a New Home

From drywall to final walkthrough

01

Primer and first coats

On completion of drywall, we spray and backroll the primer, then put 2 coats of paint on ceilings and 1 coat on walls. We save the final coat on walls for the end of the project. This saves on touch-ups.

02

Trim

Once trim is installed, we spackle and sand nail holes, caulk the trim in, mask surfaces, and spray 2 coats of paint on trim.

03

Floor protection

Once floors are installed, we offer premium floor coverings for the rest of the project.

04

Final coat and punch list

As late in the project as possible, we apply the final coat of paint to walls and do any touch-ups. Punch list items are tackled as needed.
