How We Handle New Construction Painting in Shuswap Lake
The 2023 Bush Creek East wildfire heavily affected Scotch Creek, Lee Creek and Celista on the north shore, and local news reported the regional district issuing its first building and development permits as rebuilding began. Other lake homes are new builds and second homes. Whatever the case, a new house needs primer and paint, and the schedule has to work with the other trades on site.
For builders and owners, we do the priming and painting once the drywall is up. A thick primer coat on fresh drywall evens out the joints and paper so the paint looks smooth. We schedule around the plumbers, electricians and other trades, and we leave the site clean each work day. Colors are confirmed first, dates follow, and you take a full walkthrough with us at the end.

Local Knowledge
Rebuilding and new builds around Shuswap Lake
Permit rules differ by electoral area, so check with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District before you start. Your builder normally handles the permit and the inspections. We join once the walls are closed in. Painting follows drywall, and drywall finishing needs working heat. A CertainTeed data sheet calls for 10°C in the room and drywall for 48 hours before joint compound goes on and while it dries.
Celista records January nights near minus 7°C and over 220 cm of snow a year. A build that reaches drywall in winter needs heat running before we arrive. At Salmon Arm, the average last spring frost is May 13 and the first fall frost is September 30. If the outside of your home will be ready near either end of that range, tell us early so we can plan the dates.

Only in a heated building. A CertainTeed data sheet calls for 10°C in the room and drywall for 48 hours before joint compound goes on and while it dries. Celista's January nights average near minus 7°C.
It is risky. The average first fall frost at Salmon Arm is September 30, and there are about 11 nights at or below freezing in October. Sherwin-Williams lists its Duration paint down to 35°F, but cold, damp surfaces are a poor base.
Fresh drywall takes paint unevenly where the paper meets the joint compound. A thick primer coat levels that out, so the finish coats look smooth and even.
We schedule around them and keep the site clean at the end of every work day. Tell us who is on site when, and we plan the order of work.
