New Construction Paint Question

dakota01
13 years ago

One of my neighbors said that the builder does not have the ceiling painted. They have a stippled look to them, and my neighbor said she actually prefers her's unpainted as they look "whiter".

Did you have your new home ceilings painted? I know in my last house I did, so I'm thinking it's odd for them NOT to be painted. But, times change.

Should I have the builder paint them or not?
