How to Prepare Your Home for a Professional Paint Job
Proper preparation is the key to a successful paint job that lasts. Learn the essential steps to get your home ready for our professional painters.
Getting your home ready for a professional paint job doesn't have to be overwhelming. Here's what you need to know:
1. Clear the Area
Remove furniture, decorations, and personal items from the rooms being painted. For items that can't be moved, we'll help cover them with protective plastic sheeting.
2. Clean the Surfaces
Dust, dirt, and grease can prevent paint from adhering properly. We recommend wiping down walls with a damp cloth and allowing them to dry completely before we arrive.
3. Address Any Repairs
Fill holes, cracks, and dents with spackling compound. Our team can handle minor repairs, but larger issues should be addressed beforehand for the best results.
4. Remove Outlet Covers and Switch Plates
Taking off electrical covers ensures clean, professional-looking edges around outlets and switches.
5. Protect Your Belongings
While our team takes great care to protect your property, removing valuable or fragile items gives you peace of mind.
