Consider spending extra money on the exterior paint job if you are building a new home. Often builders and customers try to save a few dollars from all of the trades. This is unfortunate especially with the exterior painting.
You will have only one chance to have the exterior painting in Lincolnshire done right. If done incorrectly it will cost you much more down the road. From the first day, the paint job is protecting your house. This protection is based on the foundation provided by the primer and caulk. If these items are inferior or missing the paint job will never be right, no matter how much you pay in the future. Each application of paint will be laid on top of this faulty foundation.
This takes its toll on your homes ability to protect and insulate, and tends to lead to higher maintenance costs in the future. If you have to make a choice, at least budget enough money for the exterior painting and have it done right from primer to finish.
