New Construction Painting for Treasure Valley Builders
We paint new homes for builders who need a sub that hits the schedule, hits the spec, and hits the punch list. Twelve years exclusive with Riverwood Homes and steady work for general contractors across Meridian, Boise, Eagle, Nampa, and Caldwell. A 22-person crew means we can run multiple homes in parallel without quality variance from house to house.
Who This Is For
This page is for production builders, custom builders, and GCs running additions or major remodels. If you are a homeowner reading this page because you are building your own house, the residential painting and interior pages are the better starting point. Reach out either way.
What We Handle on a New Build
Primer over fresh drywall, full coverage with proper inspection light
Two coats of interior wall paint, builder-grade or premium, your spec
Trim, baseboards, casing, and crown
Doors sprayed off-frame on a horse rack so they come back hung clean
Interior ceilings, flat or knockdown texture compatible
Garage interiors primed and painted
Touch-up after flooring install, after cabinet install, after final cleaning
Punch list pass with the superintendent before closing
Schedule and Crew Capacity
We can run three to four homes in active paint at once with separate foremen on each. For larger production runs we scale up with our existing crew rather than subbing out, which is how the quality stays consistent. We work the schedule the super sets, not a schedule we wish you set.
Punch list is part of the bid, not a change order. We come back after flooring and cabinets are in, and we come back again for the final walk. The day the house closes, the paint is done.
What We Need from You
We will scope around what you have. We have started jobs with no temp power and we have finished homes with no problem. Tell us what we are walking into.
Drywall finished to a known level (level 4 or 5, named in the spec)
Mud lines sanded reasonably (we do not chase rasp marks the truer your tape job)
Trim installed and caulked, or scheduled around our paint sequence
A locked color spec on the plan sheet, or a designer point of contact
Power and water on the building
Materials
Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 is the production default. ProClassic on trim. Emerald or Cashmere on the upgrade tier. We will paint the spec you wrote. If you have a question about whether a substitution holds up, ask Jake, he has put a hundred different paints on a hundred different walls.
Every job carries our written warranty
If the finish fails under normal use within the term, we come back and fix it. Plain language, in writing, at closeout.
Common Questions
What is your typical lead time for a new construction bid?
Two business days for a walk-through and verbal, one week for a written estimate on a full house with detail. For an ongoing builder relationship the bid cycle is faster because the specs are repeat work.
Can you scale up for a full subdivision phase?
Yes. We have done multi-house phases for Riverwood. We assign a lead foreman per house and a senior on the phase, and we sequence the houses so we are not waiting on each other.
Do you handle exterior on new construction, or just interior?
Both. Most production builders sequence exterior after siding and before landscaping; we work into that window. We can also do touch-up on exterior after final grade if anything took a hit during cleanup.
What about Level 5 finishes or specialty wall treatments?
Level 5 we handle with a skim coat and a flat or matte finish that does not telegraph. Specialty treatments (Venetian plaster, lime wash, decorative finishes) we can do but we will tell you whether it is the right call for your buyer pool.
Do you take subcontractor agreements and W-9s through standard builder portals?
Yes. We are set up on Procore, Buildertrend, CompanyCam, and the common builder portals. We carry W-9, COI, and licensure on file and can re-upload anything that has expired the same day.
