How to Prepare Your Home for Interior Painting

Good preparation is what separates a great paint job from an average one. While a professional crew handles the heavy prep, a little help from you makes everything smoother.

Before the crew arrives

  • Remove small items, wall décor, and valuables from the rooms.
  • Take down curtains and wall art (we'll handle patching nail holes).
  • Clear a path and parking for the crew.
  • Secure pets in a quiet area away from the work.

What your painters should do

  • Move and cover larger furniture with protective plastic.
  • Protect floors with drop cloths or paper.
  • Patch, sand, and prime imperfections.
  • Tape and mask trim, outlets, and fixtures.

Choosing colors ahead of time

Decide on colors before the start date to avoid delays. Testing samples on the wall — and viewing them in daylight and at night — prevents surprises.
