The majority of our work is the 3 year old plus... repaint.

Why? Bottom line... Budget.

To be competitive in the new home market most General Contractors logically cut corners where they can. A good place for that is with the paint quality and the painters cost pf. Fast and cheap painters get new home construction business.
"Buy that budget chalky water, fly at it and you may make some profit. Buy quality paint like Benjamin Moore and paint a new home right the first time... you will soon go out of business because most general contractors don't care about paint quality. they know the home will sell regardless". They know the majority don't notice the crappy work until they've moved in. "I stopped painting new homes 20 years ago because I couldn't stand using cheap paint and rushing all the time.".

Almost every new home I see these days could have a much better paint job but suffers because of budget and lack of consumer knowlege. The home owners don't see how bad their paint is until 6 months after they've moved in.
Chalky, faded walls and gaps and cracks around your trim.. . Sound familiar?

New Home Construction/ Production painting is all about getting paint on as fast as possible and as cheap as possible. Chalky paint hides bad drywall and all the rest that goes along with production contacting/ spec homes. Its all about the money and hiding mistakes.

This is where the PAINTING Guys shine.

So what's the difference between a $50 can of paint and an $22 can? The higher grades of paint contain titanium and other goodies which give the paint more coverage and work ability per sq ft. Cheaper paints contain little or no titanium, relying instead on clay, gels or fillers. As a result, it may takes three or more coats of cheap paint to equal the coverage of two coats of high-quality paint.

Another big difference is in durability. The more expensive paints are also more washable and offer greater scrub resistance. If you try washing dirt off a cheaper paint, you're likely to wash off some of the paint itself.

Another benefit of higher-quality paints is their reduced tendency to spatter and drip. They contain an anti-spattering agent that produces less mess than inferior paints. They are also cleaner (strained more) better for spraying.

Paints come in a variety of finishes, including flat, eggshell, semigloss/satin and high gloss. Flat paint is more forgiving and hides flaws well, but it doesn't stand up well to scrubbing (except Bengamin Moore Ulti Matte!) High-gloss paint is washable and easier to maintain, but it reveals surface imperfections and painting errors.
