The excitement of transforming your home with a new coat of paint is well-founded. You have meticulously picked the perfect shade for your walls and have taken the wise step of entrusting the job to seasoned professional painters. Only a few more steps on your part remain to ensure your home is ready for a flawless professional painting experience.
Checklist to Optimize Your Space for Professional Painting
Prepare your room for a paint job and establish effective communication with your professional painting crew to ensure a smooth and timely process without any hiccups. Below, our expert painting professionals offer tips to help you prepare and ensure your paint job is done right.
- Move items: Move furniture and items out of the room to prevent damage and ensure a clear path for the painter. Empty cabinets and closets before painting and consider wrapping heavier items, placing them in the room’s center away from the walls slated for painting.
- Protect artwork and windows: Safeguard paintings by wrapping and relocating them to a different room to prevent any potential damage during painting. If you plan to put paintings back on the wall, leave the hooks or nails in place. For window treatments, remove blinds, shades, and curtains along with their hardware. Consult with the painter about masking electrical outlets and cords that must remain in place.
- Cover Your Floors: Use drop cloths or plastic sheets to protect your floor from accidental paint spillage.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the room is well-ventilated to help dry up the walls and remove any odor of fresh paint.
- Inspect your walls: Thoroughly inspect the room for any dings, cracks, or seepage in your walls. Let your painting crew know if you spot any. This will enable them to get the right products to tackle the problem.
- Wipe down your walls: Finally, clean any dirt or debris from your walls. A clean wall acts like the perfect canvas for a smooth coat of paint.
- Arrange for alternatives, where needed: If you are getting your bedroom walls painted, you may need to sleep in another room till the paint dries up and the furniture is brought back to your room. Similarly, if your kitchen needs painting, assign a different space for family meals during the process.
