New Construction Painting in Raleigh & the Sandhills

A new house gets painted before it looks like a house anyone lives in. The floors are still covered in paper and plastic, the trim is fresh off the truck, and every wall is bare drywall waiting on its first coat of color — that is the stage Alexis works in most, and it's exactly what the photos on this site show: gray walls going up, white trim and doors going in, stairwells and vaulted rooms getting their first coats before anything else moves into the house. This is different from painting a home that people already live in — there is no furniture to move and no family schedule to work around, but there is also no margin for a sloppy line, since every wall is being seen and judged for the first time at the final walk-through.

New construction painting moves at the builder's pace, not a homeowner's — a room finished, then the next, primer and walls and ceilings and trim done in order so the crew behind him can keep working. Send a photo of the framed rooms or the finished drywall by WhatsApp for a no-obligation quote, and Alexis will tell you what the house needs before he shows up with a ladder. English-speaking customers can write in English; the page you're reading works in both languages.

What's included

• Primer and first coats on walls, ceilings and trim before the floors go in
• Floors covered in paper, plastic and tape the way builders expect
• Vaulted living rooms, tall foyers and stairwells cut in carefully from ladders
• Every room coated in order, on the builder's schedule
• Wainscoting and trim primed and finished in white before move-in
• New builds and additions across Raleigh, Aberdeen and the rest of the Sandhills

Work starts once the walls are ready for paint and the floors are still bare or covered for protection. Alexis primes the drywall first, then coats the walls and ceilings, cutting in along the ceiling line and into every corner before rolling the flat areas. Vaulted living rooms, tall foyers and stairwells take longer, since reaching the top of a full-height wall means working carefully off a ladder instead of standing on the floor. Kitchens and open living areas get painted before the rest of the house moves in behind them, with the same care around outlets, switches and window frames as any finished room. Trim, doors and any wainscoting get primed and finished in white once the wall color is on, so the contrast between the wall and the trim is sharp from the first walk-through. Floors stay covered in paper, plastic and tape through the whole job, the same way they're covered in every photo on this site, so nothing gets marked before the flooring crew ever shows up.
