Preparing for Your Painting Project

A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring a smooth, efficient painting project. Here's what you can do to help your painting team deliver the best results.

Before Interior Painting

  • Clear the Walls: Remove photos, artwork, and wall decorations
  • Move Small Items: Clear tabletops, shelves, and windowsills near walls
  • Light Fixtures: You can leave these – we'll protect or remove them as needed
  • Furniture: Move small pieces; we'll shift and cover larger furniture
  • Note Repairs: Point out any holes, cracks, or damage you'd like addressed

Before Exterior Painting

  • Landscaping: Trim bushes away from the house if possible
  • Vehicles: Move cars from the driveway during work hours
  • Pets: Plan for pets to be kept away from work areas
  • Windows: Ensure all windows are closed

What We Handle

Don't worry about the heavy lifting! Our team takes care of:

  • Moving and covering all furniture
  • Protecting floors with drop cloths
  • Filling holes and repairing surfaces
  • Masking windows, trim, and fixtures
