Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is priming necessary before painting new drywall?

    Priming seals the porous gypsum surface and ensures optimal paint adhesion while preventing uneven absorption that causes color variations. Proper priming also reduces the number of paint coats needed for complete coverage and extends paint longevity significantly.

  • How long should primer dry before applying paint?

    Most primers require 2-4 hours drying time before paint application, though environmental conditions affect timing significantly. We monitor temperature and humidity to ensure optimal curing before proceeding with paint application for best results.


  • What type of paint do you recommend for different drywall types?

    We recommend moisture-resistant paints for green board applications and standard latex paints for regular drywall installations. Our paint selection considers room function, moisture exposure, and durability requirements to ensure optimal performance for each specific application.

  • Do you provide color matching and custom paint mixing?

    Yes, we provide color matching services and work with paint suppliers to achieve custom colors that meet your design requirements. Our color consultation includes sample testing and coordination with existing design elements for optimal results.


  • How long does drywall painting and priming typically take?

    Most painting and priming projects take 2-4 days including drying time between coats, depending on project size and environmental conditions. We provide accurate timeline estimates during consultation and coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption to your routine.
