Preparing for Interior House Painting

If you schedule us to do the interior house painting in your Davidsonville home, you may wonder what you need to do to prepare. There are a few things you can do on your own to get your home ready for painting. If needed, we can offer assistance moving heavy furniture and other items when we get there. 

Here are some things to do before we arrive:

• If we are doing several rooms and you have a specific order you would like them done, write it down and give it to us. That way, we know what room to tackle first.
• Make sure you know what paint colors you want in which rooms before our interior house painting team arrives, and be sure that is communicated to us clearly. This also includes the trim and any other parts of the room we may be painting. We want to make sure there is no confusion on what color goes where.
• Move all furniture out of the rooms that are going to be painted before we arrive. If you are not able to move the furniture out of the rooms, slide all of it to the center of each room. We can cover the furniture with drop cloths to prevent any paint from accidentally getting on it. If you need help moving larger pieces of furniture, we can assist with that.
• Remove everything from the walls, including wall hangings, pictures, photos, frames, window treatments and drapes. Again, we can assist with this process if needed.
• If you have any fragile or valuable items in any of the rooms to be painted, it’s best to remove those and store them somewhere safe. We do our best to avoid accidents, but it is always wisest to err on the side of caution.
• Be sure all children and pets are kept away from the area we are working. This ensures their safety and our safety. It also prevents anything from happening to the paint as it is drying.
• Let us know if there is a specific location to park our work van. This can be important if you have other contractors or workers at your home the same day we do the interior house painting.

Hopefully, these tips will help you be prepared for our interior house painting services. Proper preparation helps the job go smoothly and efficiently and gets you the finished product you desire.
