About New Construction Painting
New construction painting is a distinct specialty — raw drywall, bare wood trim, unstained concrete, and fresh lumber all require specific products and techniques. Skipping proper primer on new drywall is the single most common mistake that causes paint failure within 2-3 years.
Professional Tips for New Construction Painting
- New drywall must be primed with a PVA primer — skipping this wrecks the finish
- Ceilings should be done before walls — always, no exceptions
- Trim and doors get painted last after walls are fully dry
- Exterior: full prime coat plus two finish coats on all raw wood
- Pre-wire for lighting before painting so you're not re-touching later
