    New Build Homes — Decorating Challenges

    Plaster shrinkage cracks appearing in the first 1–2 years

    Builder-grade paint that's typically thin, single-coat coverage

    Snagging issues — uneven walls, poorly cut-in edges, roller marks

    Choosing colours that work with standard new-build features
