My Clayton Heights townhouse still wears its original builder paint. What does a first repaint involve?
Builder-grade flat scuffs quickly and often needs two coats just to look even, so the first proper repaint leans heavily on prep. I knock down the nail pops, run fresh caulk where trim has pulled away, and prime the fixes before colour goes on. What you get back is a tougher, washable finish that stands up to a busy household.
