How to Prepare Your Home for a Painting Company’s Arrival?

You must prepare your home to make it easier for the painting crew to do their job. Preparation is also vital to having a positive experience. 

Below are some steps you can take to make sure the painting job goes efficiently.

Moving Furniture

You should move small furnishings like nightstands and coffee tables from a room that is to be painted. However, when it comes to large furniture items such as beds, sofas, and dining room sets, you might need to put them in the garage. If you don’t have one, you may need to rent a storage space. You could also just move the furniture to the center of the room. Doing this leaves the painters enough room to move around and avoid the risk of damage.

Remove Ornaments and Wall Hangings

Carefully remove all paintings, pictures, candle holders, mirrors, clocks, and any other ornaments and wall hangings. Wrap them in bubble wrap to safeguard them from breaking.

Clear Away Knick-Knacks

Don’t forget to put away any little knick-knacks, decorative items, or mementos that you have on any shelves. Your house painter will shield your furniture with a drop cloth or tarp before they start work. However, small items could be knocked off a shelf or broken during the painting project.

Vacate the Area

The time you and your loved ones spend in the home being painted will be limited for some time. In some instances, you might need to vacate the room or the house. Plan well and be sure you take all the things you will need to use which might be hard to access once the painting starts.

Keep children and pets far away from the work area to stop them from knocking over tools, paint, and equipment. If the entire home is being painted, it may be a good idea to spend the time away in a hotel.

Clean Surfaces

Paint adheres better to clean surfaces. Therefore, it’s critical to eliminate dirt, stains, and dust that has built up on the surfaces. The painters will apply a primer to prepare the walls. However, you should take time to clean, vacuum, and sweep. This ensures that dirt and dust particles don’t end up in your new coat of paint.

Prepare the Exterior

If the exterior of your home is being painted, it’s critical to get a power washing service and any necessary repairs done before painting begins. If there is substantial damage that needs to be fixed, you might need to call a handyman or other professional for help.

Access and Obstructions

Consider access and any possible obstructions that could hinder the painters. Think about where they will have to walk and where they will need to put tools and equipment. You also need to make sure they have easy access to the spaces being painted. Moving furniture ahead of the job means the painting crew will be able to finish the job quickly, saving you time and money.

We received competitive bids from other companies, but Colorado Painting stood out from the rest with their professional, knowledgeable, and courteous service.Hayden provided a comprehensive project plan of what repair work needed to be done and what materials would be use. Osman and his paint crew did an impeccable job making sure all surfaces were well prepped and taped off to catch any overshoot. When doing the inspection after the painting was completed we could not find any missed spots or places that needed paint reapplied. They also painted our rod iron deck railings and they look brand new.We would definitely not hesitate to hire Colorado Commercial & Residential Painting for any future painting needs.Holly G.Holly G. ★★★★★ The team was a pleasure to work with and the job was very well done. I couldn't be happier. The whole process was smooth, and they were very communicative throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them!Dustin B.Dustin B. ★★★★★ Great communication, execution, cleanup and follow-up. Highly recommended.Taylor L.Taylor L. ★★★★★ We are very happy with the paint job they did on the exterior of our house! From the initial quote and scheduling, to the prep, painting, and then the follow up quality check at the end, everyone at Colorado Commercial & Residential Painting made what felt like a daunting task a very seamless and enjoyable experience. The quote was reasonable and the team was professional and friendly. We have already recommended them to neighbors and friends!Patricia W.Patricia W. ★★★★★ Colorado Commercial &Residential Painting took on my project to paint my home. It had not been painted in 15 years, was dirty, peeling and chipping. They bid a competitive price without upselling. They did a beautiful job of washing, refurbishing and painting my home. It looks brand new and I would strongly recommend them!Mike B.Mike B. ★★★★★ I hired Colorado Commercial and Residential Painting to repaint my townhouse from top to bottom. The work was AMAZING. The final walkthrough was so great that I had nothing on my punchlist for them to fix! If you are considering a makeover, hire them!Matthew M.Matthew M. ★★★★★ Impressive work for painting the entire interior of home. Minimal touch-ups needed at the end. Company has the ability to resurface uneven areas with sanding and texture. Pricey but worth the end result.Todd V.Todd V. ★★★★★ Colorado Commercial and Residential Painting recently completed painting nearly 100% of our house’s interior. As the original owners of our 1999 home, we felt it was time for a change. Before the painters arrived, I decided to upgrade all our doors to solid core for a more high-end feel. I purchased pre-primed doors, installed them myself, and did some preliminary prep work.The painting team assured me they would make the doors and woodwork look amazing, and they delivered on that promise. They sprayed all the trim and new doors and rolled the walls with a new, lighter color. Even though I had prepped the doors, I noticed them improving some of my workmanship. They weren’t going to mention it, but I’m glad they did. The woodwork and doors now look like they belong in a 5-star hotel.Honestly, our house looks brand new and even better than the day we moved in back in 1999. Before selecting this company, I did some research with friends. While you can find cheaper bids out there, I believe you get what you pay for. Spraying the trim makes such a significant difference that it’s worth the extra work, additional cost, and minor inconvenience it causes.The team was highly communicative, very professional, and responsive to our needs throughout the five days they were here.I would definitely use them again and plan to do so for some exterior updates this summer.Pamela S.Pamela S. ★★★★★ Leo and his team did an amazing job painting our main level - ceilings and all!
