On a new build, timing matters as much as the finish. We plan the painting around the build program so preparation, coats and final touch-ups each happen at the right stage.

Phelps Painting takes on new builds across the Gold Coast, handling both interior and exterior painting, matching the right coatings to each surface and finishing the job before handover. Owner Nathan Phelps brings more than 20 years of painting experience to the work.

What we handle on a new build

We work on new homes and new commercial builds. Depending on the build, that includes:

  • Interior painting for new homes — walls, ceilings, doors and trim
  • Exterior painting for new builds — cladding, render, eaves, fascia and timber
  • Preparation of new surfaces — new plasterboard, render and timber
  • Commercial new builds — offices, shops and similar spaces
  • Feature walls and specified accent finishes
  • Final coats and pre-handover touch-ups

The exact scope is confirmed when we review the plans or site and quote the job.

How we work on a new build

  1. 01 — Plan around your build

    We review the plans or site, confirm the scope and finishes, and set the painting around your build program and the other trades on site.

  2. 02 — Prepare the new surfaces

    New plasterboard, render and timber are prepared and primed properly, so the finish coats sit right and last.

  3. 03 — Paint in sequence

    We apply premium professional paint systems selected for the surfaces and the specification, timed to work in with the site.

  4. 04 — Finish & hand over

    We complete the final coats, protect what’s done, and return for pre-handover touch-ups so the build is presented properly.
