As homeowners and potential buyers tour their homes under construction, they are often surprised at the amount of dust, debris, and other materials left behind. For those unfamiliar with construction, this can come as a very negative surprise, as they like to imagine their new homes spotless and perfect. However, by protecting a home’s finishes, builders can avoid this problem altogether and even impress their clients.
Using surface protection on a project not only helps keep surfaces clean and free of damage, it can also act as a great advertisement and selling point for potential new customers. By showing a homeowner that you care about protecting your home’s finishes, they are much more likely to recommend you to other businesses.
To take better advantage of these positive references, builders can use custom branded surface protection on their projects. Everything from floors, doors and tubs to floor vents can be marked and used to reflect positively on the builder or subcontractor on the site.
Hardwood floors and other custom flooring jobs are absolutely necessary to protect with surface protection. Floors are not only the most susceptible finish to damage, but are carefully chosen by homeowners and are very expensive to repair and replace. There are some floor protection options that may feature custom builder’s logos. Surface Liner Vapor Hardwood Floor Protection is the premier breathable fabric-based floor protection available and can be custom printed with pallet counts, just like RamBoard. Flooring is among the most noticeable and visible finishes, so taking care of your flooring is one of the first things a potential customer will notice.
Although it may seem like a minor accessory compared to expensive granite countertops and custom wood cabinetry, covering new toilets is a method builders have told us consistently impresses homeowners. Using a custom toilet cover such as a toilet seat cover keeps toilets clean, but more importantly, expresses to the customer that the toilet has not been used.
ProVent Duct Covers are another low-cost surface protection product that can be customized to display your builder’s logo. Duct covers are yellow plates that bolt to floor vents using existing vent hardware. They filter the dust that falls into the floor vents. Custom printed duct covers are an increasingly popular method by which large-scale commercial builders use surface protection to impress potential clients.
Surface protection not only works to prevent damaged finishes, but can also be used to advertise the builder. Using ProVent duct covers or toilet liners keeps those finishes clean and also represents the builder positively. Various surface protection materials can be modified and printed with builders’ marketing materials. Surface protection materials can make a positive difference for residential and custom builders.
