What Happens Before and After Your Painting Project
Posted on November 28, 2023
Scheduling a painting project comes with a ton of excitement. You’ll finally be able to give your home the makeover you’ve been dreaming of, whether it’s the interior or exterior. However, it can also come with some questions. If you’re wondering what you need to do before your painting project begins or what happens once the work is done, CertaPro Painters® of Livingston, NJ, has got you covered.
What to Do Before Painters Arrive at Your House
Before our team of professional painters comes over, there are a few things you can do to help the process go smoothly.
Interior:
Remove any furniture, decorations, fragile objects, and other items from the rooms or areas that will be painted.
Remove anything hanging on the wall.
Take down any hooks or nails in places where you want our team to fill in the holes.
Exterior:
Close all windows and doors before the crew arrives so our team can get to work power washing and performing the necessary prep work.
Doing these simple tasks will ensure your projects get off to a great start!
CertaPro Painters® of Livingston, NJ Clean-Up Process
When your project is over, our team will do our best to ensure the space is left exactly as it was when we got there. This process includes:
- Letting the paint dry completely.
- Gathering all painting tools in one place.
- Removing drop cloths and protective coverings, shaking off excess paint, and storing or disposing them properly.
- Cleaning up fresh paint spills with a damp cloth and scraping off dried paint carefully.
- Vacuuming or sweeping the area, paying attention to corners and edges.
With this new knowledge, you should be prepared for your interior or exterior painting project. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. We can’t wait to transform your home!
