I was curious how you pros paint/prime for new construction. Specifically, with respect to finish carpentry. Is it typical that all the finish carpentry is done, then everything is primed and painted? Or is it better to prime the casing and moldings, then install them, then finish paint? Is it necessary to back-prime interior wood casing?
