Remove as much furniture as possible from the rooms being painted. If you can't move large items, place them in the center of the room and cover them with drop cloths. This protects your belongings from paint splatters and gives painters easier access to walls and ceilings.

Dust, grease, and dirt can prevent paint from adhering properly. Wipe down your walls with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution, especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Allow the walls to dry completely before painters arrive.

Take down photos, artwork, mirrors, and any other wall hangings. Remove nails, hooks, and screws, and fill holes with spackle if instructed by your painters. This step ensures a smooth, even surface for painting.

Although professional painters will likely use drop cloths, it's a good idea to protect your flooring further. Cover hardwood, tile, or carpeted areas with plastic sheets or old towels near the painting zone for extra security.

If you know your walls have cracks, dents, or peeling paint, discuss these with your painters ahead of time. Some professionals include minor repairs in their services, but addressing these issues before they begin can save time and improve the final result.

Keep pets and young children out of the painting area for their safety and to avoid interruptions. Arrange for them to stay in another part of the house or with a friend during the project.

By following these steps, you’ll create an organized and stress-free environment for the painters to do their job effectively. A little preparation on your part can go a long way in achieving beautiful, long-lasting results. Contact us to book a painting service to refresh your home today.
