New Construction Painting in Red Deer
Painting for new builds across Red Deer and Central Alberta — for builders, contractors and homeowners. Bare drywall primed properly, and scheduling that fits around the other trades.
Painting a new build is a different job from repainting a lived-in one. The surfaces are bare, the site is busy with other trades, and there is a handover date that everything is measured against.
Who we work with
- Builders and general contractors
- Homeowners having a house built
- Commercial fit-outs before handover
- Additions, garages and finished basements
Bare drywall is not a blank canvas
New board and the mud over its joints absorb paint at completely different rates. Put a finish coat straight onto that and the joints and screw heads show through as a patchwork the moment light crosses the wall — which on a brand-new house is the first thing anyone notices. New drywall gets a primer or sealer coat first, so the whole surface takes the finish evenly.
The same goes for new trim, doors and mouldings: bare wood and factory-primed wood behave differently, and each needs the right preparation to end up looking like one finish.
Working around the other trades
On a build the painting slot sits between other people’s work, and it moves. Tell us the schedule and where it currently sits and we will plan around it — and tell you honestly if a date is not realistic rather than agreeing to it and holding up the trade behind us.
Before handover
The last thing painted is usually the thing an inspection or a walkthrough looks hardest at. We finish with the same walkthrough we do on any job: we go through it with you, and anything that needs another look gets it before we leave the site.
Getting a price
Estimates are free and carry no obligation. We look at the space, talk through what you want, and give you a clear price. For a new build it helps to know the square footage, how many coats and colours are specified, whether trim and doors are included, and roughly where the painting sits in the schedule.
Questions about new construction painting in red deer
Do you work with builders and contractors?
Yes — builders and general contractors, and homeowners having a house built. We also take on commercial fit-outs before handover.
Does new drywall need different preparation?
Yes. Bare board and the mud over its joints absorb paint at different rates, so a finish coat straight onto new drywall shows the joints and screw heads as a patchwork under side light. It gets a primer or sealer coat first.
Can you fit around our schedule?
Tell us where the painting sits in the build and we will plan around it. If a date is not realistic we will say so up front rather than agree to it and hold up the trade behind us.
Do you paint trim and doors on a new build?
Yes. Say whether trim, doors and mouldings are in scope when you ask for a price and the quote covers exactly that.
