As homeowners and potential buyers walk through their homes under construction, they are often surprised by 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 damage-free, it can also act as a great advertisement and selling point for potential new clients. By showing a homeowner that you care about protecting the finishes in their home, they are much more likely to recommend you to other businesses.

To take better advantage of these positive references, builders can use custom brand surface protection on their projects. Everything from floors, doors and bathtubs to floor vents can be marked and used to reflect positively on the builder or subcontractor on site.

Hardwood floors and other custom flooring jobs absolutely need to be protected with surface protection. Not only is flooring the most susceptible finish to damage, it is carefully chosen by homeowners and very expensive to repair and replace. There are some floor protection options that can feature custom builder logos. Surface Liner Vapor hardwood floor protection is the leading breathable fabric-based floor protection available and can be custom printed with pallet quantities, just like RamBoard. Floors are among the most noticeable and visible finishes, so taking care of floors is one of the first things a potential client will notice.

Although it may seem like a minor accessory compared to expensive granite countertops and custom wood cabinetry, covering new toilets is one method that builders have told us consistently impresses homeowners. Using a personalized toilet cover, such as a toilet cover, keeps toilets clean, but more importantly, communicates 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 the construction company’s logo. Duct covers are yellow plates that are screwed onto the floor vents using the vent fittings that are already installed. 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, it can also be used to advertise to the builder. Using ProVent duct covers or toilet covers keeps those finishes clean and also represents the builder in a positive light. 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.
