I apologize but I must strongly disagree with you. My father and grandfather were painters and the vast majority of their work was with new construction. It was in the best interest of the builders, the painters, the other contractors and the home owners to use good quality paint that could be touched up and washed. Anything less simply led to more problems for everyone. Brands like Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore have been staples for decades. This was especially true when the number of houses being constructed was large since the builder would still be working in the area long after the first buyers had settled in.
