How to Prepare Your Home for Professional Painters

Getting your home painted is an exciting way to refresh your space, but proper preparation can make a significant difference in both the quality of the final result and the efficiency of the painting process. To help you get the best results for your money, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you prepare your home for our arrival.

Clear the Space

The first and most crucial step is to clear the area that will be painted. This means:

Moving all furniture to the center of the room or, ideally, to another room entirely. For larger pieces that can’t be moved, our team can help shift them, but having smaller items cleared beforehand saves valuable time.

PRO TIP: Take photos of your wall arrangements before removing artwork and decorations. This makes it easier to restore everything to its proper place once the paint dries.

Remove all wall decorations, including:

• Picture frames and artwork
• Mirrors
• Wall clocks
• Curtains and curtain rods
• Wall-mounted TVs and their brackets

Don’t forget to remove items from the tops of cabinets and shelves that might be affected by paint splatter.

Clean the Walls

While our team will do necessary spot cleaning, having clean walls before we arrive can speed up the process significantly:

• Dust all walls and baseboards with a dry cloth
• Wipe down any particularly grimy areas with a damp cloth and mild soap
• Pay special attention to areas around light switches, doorknobs, and air vents where hands frequently touch
• Allow all surfaces to dry completely

Communication is Key

If you have any questions about preparation or special concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us before the project begins. Some helpful information to have ready:

• Which rooms need the most attention
• Any strict timeline requirements
• Special considerations about access to your property

“The best clients are informed clients. We’re always happy to answer questions before, during, and after your project.”

By following these preparation steps, you’ll help ensure that our team can work efficiently and deliver the best possible results for your home. Remember, a well-prepared space not only speeds up the painting process but also helps ensure a flawless finish that you’ll enjoy for years to come.
