As potential homeowners and buyers tour their homes under construction, they can often be surprised at the amount of dust, debris, and other materials left on the site. 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 entirely 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 point of sale for potential new customers. By showing a homeowner that you care about protecting your home’s finishes, they are much more likely to recommend it for other businesses.

To better take 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 positively reflect on the builder or subcontractor on site.

Hardwood floors and other custom flooring work are absolutely necessary to protect with surface protection. Floors are not only the finish most likely to be damaged, they are also carefully chosen by the owner and are very expensive to repair and replace. There are some floor protection options that can include custom builder logos. Surface Liner Vapor Wood 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 to protect them 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 cabinets, covering new toilets is a method that builders have told us is consistently impressing homeowners. Using a custom toilet lid, such as a toilet cover, keeps the toilets clean, but more importantly, it 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 feature a builder’s company logo. The duct covers are yellow plates that are bolted to the floor vents using the vents that are already installed. They filter dust that falls into floor vents. Custom printed duct covers are an increasingly popular method whereby large-scale commercial builders use surface protection to impress potential customers.

Surface protection not only works to prevent damage to finishes, but can also be used to advertise the builder. The use of ProVent toilet duct covers or covers keeps those finishes clean and also represents the builder positively. Various surface protection materials can be modified and printed with builder marketing materials on them. Surface protection materials can make a positive difference for residential and custom builders.
