Albuquerque new construction painting
Interior and exterior painting for new homes, additions and remodels, with primer made for new drywall and a crew that fits your schedule.
For builders and homeowners
New walls are not ready for paint the way old walls are. Fresh drywall, new joint compound and new stucco all need the right primer first, or the seams and patches show through the finish for years.
We paint new homes, additions and remodels across Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, and we plan each visit around your builder and the other trades, from the first coat of primer to the last touch-up.
Most new construction calls come from one of two people. Both get a written price and a schedule, but what each one needs from a painter is different.
A painting crew that shows up when your schedule says, leaves a clean house for the next trade and comes back for the punch list, so the home is ready for the final walk.
Help choosing colors and sheens for every room, HOA approvals for the outside, and a painter who works with your builder so the colors you picked are the colors you move in to.
Every part of a new build
From bare drywall to the final touch-up, every new construction painting project gets the right primer, a set order of work and a written plan.
From bare drywall to finish coats
New construction interior painting starts with a primer made for new drywall, then the finish coats in the colors and sheens on your plans. Ceilings get a flat finish that hides small flaws, and walls get a finish that wipes clean.
New homes, ready for high-desert sun
New construction exterior painting covers fascia, trim, doors, garage doors, railings and any stucco the plans call for. New stucco needs time to cure before paint, so we plan the outside around that and the weather.
The finish people touch every day
New baseboards, casings, interior doors and stair rails get caulked, filled and finished in a durable semi-gloss. Paint-grade cabinets and built-ins can be finished on site in the color on your plans.
Fast, even coverage in empty homes
An empty new house is the best time to spray. Windows, floors and openings are masked, primer and finish go on evenly, and walls are often back-rolled for a uniform texture. Where overspray would be a risk, we roll and brush.
New rooms that match the old ones
A new room or remodel should look like it was always part of the house. We prime the new drywall, match the color and sheen of your existing rooms, and protect the parts of the home you are still living in.
Settled before the first coat
Many new neighborhoods in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho have HOA color rules. We help you pick colors that hold up in our bright light, test large samples and put every color and sheen on one list before painting begins.
Scheduling with other trades
Painting a new home is not one visit. It happens in stages between the other trades, and we plan each one with your builder.
Before us
Hung, taped, mudded and sanded, with texture applied.
Visit 1
Masking, primer on new drywall, ceilings and first wall coats.
Other trades
Cabinets, doors, baseboards and flooring go in.
Visit 2
Trim caulked and painted, doors finished, final wall coats.
Other trades
Lights, plumbing fixtures, counters and appliances installed.
Visit 3
We walk the house and touch up every scuff and ding.
Every build is different. We confirm the visits with your builder before we start, so the painters are never waiting on another trade or in their way.
Both methods have a place in a new home. Most projects use both, and we choose room by room based on what is installed and what is not.
Best for: Rooms with flooring, cabinets or fixtures already in, and touch-ups
Slower on large, empty homes with tall walls and ceilings.
Best for: Bare drywall before flooring, cabinets and trim go in
Needs full masking of windows, floors and openings first.
We will tell you in your estimate which rooms we plan to spray and which we plan to roll, so your builder knows what needs to be installed before each visit.
Prep, step by step
Six steps from the first walkthrough to the punch list, so you and your builder know what happens and when.
We walk the house or review the plans, measure and note colors, sheens and surfaces.
Why it matters: An accurate price starts with the plans and the house, not a guess.
Windows, floors, openings and anything already installed are covered and taped.
Why it matters: Overspray and drips land on paper and plastic, not on new finishes.
Every new wall and ceiling gets a primer made for fresh drywall and joint compound.
Why it matters: Without primer, seams and screw spots show through as dull stripes.
Ceilings, then walls, in the colors and sheens on your color list.
Why it matters: A set order keeps lines clean and keeps the schedule on track.
Trim is caulked and filled, then doors, casings and baseboards get semi-gloss.
Why it matters: Caulked joints stay closed and lines stay crisp as the house settles.
After the last trades, we walk the house and touch up every marked spot.
Why it matters: Every build leaves scuffs. The punch list is how the home ends up perfect.

Pricing, explained
New construction painting prices depend on the size of the home, the ceiling heights, how many colors and sheens the plans call for, the amount of trim and doors, and whether the exterior is part of the job.
We price each home from the plans or a walkthrough of the build, and that estimate is free.
Every free estimate includes
What shapes your price
Blueprint
More square feet and tall or vaulted ceilings mean more primer, paint and hours.
Interior and exterior work are priced separately, so you can choose what to include.
Each extra wall color, accent wall or sheen change adds time and setup.
More doors, trim and paint-grade cabinets add brush work and coats.

Still have a question?
Ask it in the estimate form and we will answer, even if you are not ready for an estimate.
Ask UsYes. We paint new construction homes, additions and remodels across Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, inside and out. We work for builders, general contractors and homeowners building a custom home, and every project gets the same prep, a written price and a schedule that fits the rest of the build.
New drywall has two surfaces: the paper face and the joint compound over the seams and screws. They soak up paint differently, so without a primer the seams can show through as dull stripes. A primer made for new drywall evens the surface out, so the finish coats look smooth and uniform.
Both. Empty new homes are often sprayed, because a sprayer covers walls, ceilings and trim evenly and quickly before flooring and fixtures go in. We often back-roll sprayed walls for an even texture, and we roll or brush wherever overspray would be a problem. We will tell you which we plan to use.
Usually right after the drywall is finished and sanded, before cabinets, flooring and trim are installed, for primer and the first coats. We come back after the other trades for trim, doors and final coats, then again at the end for the punch list. We plan those visits with your builder.
Yes. After flooring, fixtures, counters and appliances go in, there are always scuffs and dings on fresh paint. We come back near the end of the build, walk the house with you or your builder, and touch up every marked spot with the same paint, so the home is ready for its final walk.
Yes. On new stucco homes we paint fascia, trim, doors, garage doors, railings and any stucco that the plans call for, with a primer made for fresh masonry when it needs one. New cement stucco needs time to cure before paint, so we plan the exterior around that and the weather.
Yes. Many new neighborhoods in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho have HOA color rules for stucco, trim and garage doors. We can help you find the approved palette, put large samples on the wall and give you the color names your HOA asks for, so the approval is done before any paint goes on.
Yes. We work as the painting crew for builders and general contractors on new homes, additions and remodels. You get a written price for each project, a crew that shows up when the schedule says, clean work areas for the next trade, and a punch list visit before the house is handed over.
It depends on the size of the home, the ceiling heights, how many colors and sheens the plans call for, how much trim and how many doors there are, and whether the exterior is included. Because every plan is different, we price each home from the plans or a walkthrough, in a free written estimate.
Yes. Additions and remodels are new construction inside an older home. New drywall gets the right primer, and we match the color and sheen of the existing rooms so the new space blends in. We protect the parts of the home you are still living in and keep the work areas clean.
Where we work
We paint new homes, additions and remodels in every part of Albuquerque, from the Westside and the Northeast Heights to the North Valley and the Volcano Cliffs area, and in Rio Rancho, Corrales and the other communities around the metro.
Since
2006
The family behind the brushes
Edik started All New Painting in 2006 with one standard: paint every home as if it were his own. Twenty years later it is still a family business, built on that same standard.
We paint interiors and exteriors, stucco, cabinets and commercial spaces, and we handle the drywall repair and prep that make paint last in the high desert.
More than 1,000 projects later, the goal has not changed: careful prep, clean lines and a home you are proud to come back to.
