Should You Paint New Builder Homes?

Posted on May 20, 2021

There is little more exciting in life than moving into a brand new home. The cleanliness of the floors, walls, and appliances can have anyone seeing through rose-colored glasses. When it comes down to it, though, your new home may not be as perfect as you want it to be––yet! If you are moving into new builder homes, chances are you’ll need to complete one more step before getting too comfortable: painting. We know that taking on one additional step can seem like adding onto the never-ending list of things to do, but we promise it will benefit you in the long run. In short, CertaPro Painters always recommend painting new builder homes for three main reasons, which we will be going over in this article. 

For Better Quality 

We’re not going to lie, new builder homes are great! However, chances are your builders have to stick to a strict budget and meet lofty expectations. Builders are simply trying to turn a profit on homes as fast as possible. While the structural parts of the home may be in tip-top shape, other features, such as decorations (and paint) may be done in a more careless and cheap manner. It is faster and cheaper to spray on thin paint that does a good job at hiding imperfections for a very short amount of time than putting the care and attention into a paint job that a professional painting company would. All this to say that the paint in your new builder home may not be of the best quality. 

For More Durability

The quality of your house paint is important  for a number of reasons, the most important being the level of durability. We know firsthand how crazy life can get in homes with kids, pets, or even just by yourself! There is little chance that you’ll never touch your walls throughout your time living there. If you want paint that can look great while going through all of this crazy living, you’ll need something better than what most new home builds can get you. Expert painters will consult you on your style of living to choose the best paint for your situation. This way, your paint can look fresh for the foreseeable future! 

For Personalization

Last but not least, you deserve a paint job in your new home that works for you. Paint does a fantastic job at transforming the mood and feel of any room. You may want a dark, forest green in your home office to inspire productivity; or a deep blue in your bedroom to help you rest. Perhaps the furniture you have conflicts with the shades chosen by the builders. Ultimately, the cookie-cutter paint used by builders is not chosen to highlight your furniture or match the mood of your home.
