Blend New Spaces Into Your Existing Home
Addition painting and finish services in Durango, Colorado that create seamless transitions between old and new construction.
When you add a room, sunroom, or garage to your home in Durango, the new construction has to look like it belongs. Mismatched paint, visible seams, and color that does not blend make the addition feel tacked on rather than integrated. Ramey Paint Contracting provides painting and finish work for home additions and expansions, with a focus on clean transitions, durable materials, and fine detail that makes new spaces feel like part of the original structure.
This service is ideal for growing homes and functional upgrades in Durango, where families need more space without moving. The work covers both interior and exterior painting, including walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and any surfaces where the addition meets the existing home. Preparation includes matching existing finishes, sealing joints, and applying coats that hold up to daily use and weather exposure.

What it takes to make new construction disappear
Once framing and drywall are finished on your addition in Durango, the painting process begins with careful inspection of seams, joints, and transitions between old and new surfaces. All drywall is primed, sanded, and checked for imperfections before topcoats are applied. Exterior siding or trim is prepped the same way, with special attention to matching sheen, texture, and color to the existing home.
After the work is complete, you will not be able to tell where the original home ends and the addition begins. The paint color matches perfectly, seams are invisible, and the finish feels consistent across every surface. New trim aligns with existing molding profiles, and the overall appearance is cohesive and intentional.
This service includes caulking all joints where the addition connects to the original structure, filling nail holes, and applying multiple finish coats for durability. It does not include flooring, cabinetry installation, or roofing work, but it does address every painted surface necessary to complete the addition and integrate it into the home.
Things homeowners want to know up front
Homeowners planning an addition want to know how painting fits into the construction timeline, how finishes are matched, and what to expect after the work is done.
How do you match paint to the existing home?
You provide a sample of the current paint or the original color code, and Ramey Paint Contracting matches it using color-matching tools and custom tinting. A test patch is applied to confirm the match before full application.
What happens if the new drywall shows seams or ridges?
All drywall seams are taped, mudded, and sanded smooth before priming. If imperfections remain, they are filled and re-sanded until the surface is level and ready for finish coats.
When does painting happen during an addition project?
Painting typically begins after drywall, insulation, and rough electrical work are complete, and before flooring or final fixtures are installed. Timing is coordinated with your contractor to avoid delays.
How do you seal the connection between the addition and the main house?
All joints and seams are caulked with exterior-grade or paintable caulk to prevent air and water infiltration. This step is completed before final coats are applied to ensure a clean, durable seal.
Why does the addition need both interior and exterior painting?
Both sides of the addition are exposed to different conditions and need appropriate finishes. Interior paint provides a smooth, cleanable surface, while exterior paint protects against UV, moisture, and temperature changes.
