New Builds

New Home Painters Perth

New builds across Perth, painted to a finish that holds up to handover inspection and coordinated around the trades still on site.

Builder Coordination
Scheduled around carpenters, tilers and electricians so the finish goes on at the right point in the build, not before.
Handover Standard
New builds are inspected closely at handover. Cut lines, trim and touch-ups are finished to that level of scrutiny.
Full System Build-Up
Sealer, undercoat and topcoats on new plasterboard, rather than skipping the sealer and hoping the finish evens out.

Painting a new build properly

New plasterboard and new render are thirsty, and they do not behave like a surface that has been coated before. Skipping the sealer coat is the most common shortcut on a new build, and it shows up as patchy sheen across jointed areas within weeks of handover.

We apply the full system: sealer on new substrates, undercoat, then topcoats, with trim finished in an enamel appropriate to the specification. Timing is coordinated with the builder so we are not painting over surfaces other trades still have to work on.

Handover inspections are detailed. We do a full walk-through and touch-up pass before calling the job complete, so the defect list does not come back to you.

Common Questions

Do you work directly with builders?

Yes, and also directly with owners on owner-builder projects. Either way the schedule is coordinated with the other trades on site.

Why does new plasterboard need a sealer coat?

New board and the jointing compound over it absorb differently. Without a sealer the topcoat dries to uneven sheen across the joints, which becomes obvious under natural light after handover.

Do you do the pre-handover touch-ups?

Yes. A full walk-through and touch-up pass is included before we call the job finished.
