A painting subcontractor that keeps to your schedule
New-construction interiors and exteriors, remodel repaints and punch-list touch-ups for builders, remodelers and general contractors. Painting scope only.
For a builder, a painting subcontractor is one line on a schedule with five trades either side of it. If paint is late, flooring is late, and the closing moves. We work as that line: priced per plan or per job, on site when the drywall and trim are ready, out when the flooring crew needs the house.
We do the painting and the prep that belongs to it. Framing, drywall hanging and finishing, stucco application, carpentry installation, electrical and plumbing stay with your other trades. Keeping that boundary clear is what keeps our pricing tight and our schedule reliable.
What we paint for builders and remodelers
- New-construction interiors — prime and finish walls and ceilings, trim, interior doors and closets, sprayed or rolled to your spec
- New-construction exteriors — coatings on new stucco once it has cured, soffit, fascia, garage and entry doors
- Remodels and additions — matching existing colors and sheens so new rooms do not stand out
- Cabinets and built-ins sprayed on site where the plan calls for paint-grade millwork
- Punch-list touch-ups after the other trades, and a final walk before the homeowner orientation
Schedule coordination on a live site
Tell us the target dates for drywall sign-off, trim install, countertops and flooring, and we plan our visits around them. A typical interior runs in two passes: prime and first coats before trim and cabinets are set, then finish coats and cut-in after.
On exteriors, new stucco needs to cure before it is coated, and we will say so if a schedule asks us to paint too early. Paint over green stucco can fail, and that becomes everyone's problem at the one-year walk.
Your superintendent gets one contact, start and finish dates in writing and a text when each phase is done.
From plan set to punch list
See our process for how a standard job runs. For finish-carpentry style wall panels we install and paint, see accent walls and board and batten.
Plans and spec
Send the plan set or square footage, color schedule and sheens. We price per plan so repeat models stay predictable.
Written bid
What is in and out of our scope stated plainly, so there are no surprises on either side.
Phased visits
Booked to your schedule, with a heads-up if another trade leaves the house unready.
Touch-up and walk
Damage from later trades fixed in one return visit, then a final walk with your super.
Touch-ups and damage from other trades
Every house collects dings after paint: a countertop installer's scuff, a plumber's ladder mark, an electrician's fingerprints round a box. We price a return visit for touch-ups into the bid, so the punch list is handled without a fresh negotiation.
Small drywall dents and nail pops get patched and textured as prep for paint. Larger damage — cut-outs, cracked sheets, failed tape joints across a room — goes back to your drywall sub, because that is their scope, not ours.
Products on your spec
If your spec names a product line, we use it. If it does not, we propose one — for example Sherwin-Williams ProMar 400 on interior walls — and it is written into the bid so there are no substitutions without your approval.

What builders and GCs ask
Do you do drywall finishing or stucco?
No. We patch small dents and repair texture before paint, and we paint stucco. Hanging and finishing drywall, and applying stucco, belong to your other trades.
Can you price per model for a production builder?
Yes. Send the plans and color schedule for each model and we will give you a written price per plan, with options such as accent walls or painted cabinets priced separately.
How do you handle schedule changes?
Tell us as early as you can. We move visits where our calendar allows, and we will tell you straight away if a slip pushes us into another commitment.
What do you need from us before starting?
Site access, the color and sheen schedule, a clean and swept house, power and water, and the date the next trade is due. Your contractor requirements, sent with the bid request, are handled before we start.
Do you take on remodel jobs as well as new builds?
Yes — kitchens, additions and whole-house remodels, with matching to existing finishes. Ranges are on our pricing page and more answers in the FAQ.
