Professional painting and trim can completely change how a new home or addition feels. Day One Specialties can take the project from construction through the final wall colors, doors, baseboards and trim so the finished space reflects the vision you had from the beginning.
We are based in Alexander, NY and serve homeowners throughout the Greater Rochester area, as well as communities toward and outside the Buffalo area. Our goal is to make the finishing stage one of the most exciting parts of the project rather than another job you have to coordinate separately.
Maybe you want warm off-white walls that keep a great room bright. Perhaps you prefer olive green, deep navy, sunny yellow or a warmer earth tone. There are countless directions to explore. Start with the interactive examples below and see how dramatically the same room can change with a different wall color.

Professional Painting From Prep to Final Trim
Beautiful walls and trim depend on the work that happens before the final coat. As part of a larger construction project, we can plan the painting and finishing process around the rest of the build instead of treating it as an unrelated final job.
Expert Home Prep for Painting
Good painting starts with preparation. Floors, fixtures, cabinetry and nearby finished surfaces need to be protected before the work begins. New drywall and existing walls may also require attention before they are ready for primer and paint.
Proper preparation creates cleaner lines and a more consistent finish. It also allows the painting stage to move forward without sacrificing the work that has already been completed elsewhere in the home.
This is especially valuable during a new home, addition or major remodel. Because Day One Specialties can manage the broader construction project, painting can be coordinated with drywall, flooring, cabinetry, doors and other finishing work.
Flawless Trim Painting
Trim frames the room. Baseboards, door casings, window trim and other architectural details create the lines that visually finish walls, floors, doors and openings.
The paint color on trim can also change the entire look. Bright white trim can create contrast against darker walls. Warm whites can soften a neutral room, while coordinated trim colors can create a more subtle modern appearance.
Clean preparation and careful application are particularly important on trim because imperfections are easy to notice. Our goal is to create crisp, finished details that work with the wall color and the rest of the home's design.
Choose the Right Paint Finish
Two paints can have the same color but look noticeably different because of their finish. The sheen affects how much light reflects from the surface, how the wall appears from different angles and how the finished room feels.
Flat and matte finishes provide a softer appearance with very little reflection. Eggshell adds a subtle sheen, while satin offers more noticeable reflectivity. Semi-gloss and gloss create a brighter surface and are often considered for trim and other detailed areas.
We can help you think through both color and finish so the selection makes sense for the room, surface and overall style you want to achieve.
More Than a Painting Contractor
Painting and trim are part of a much larger picture at Day One Specialties. We are a general contractor capable of taking on the construction work that creates the room in the first place.
That means you do not necessarily need one company for framing, another for drywall, another for trim and someone else to paint. Keeping more of the project together can make it easier to carry the same design vision from the early construction stages through the final finishes.
For homeowners building a new home, completing an addition or remodeling existing space, that consolidated approach is a major part of what we offer.
