Common Questions About Interior Painting
Ensuring Pet Safety During Home Painting
Being aware of the possible stressors that paint can create for your pet during a painting project is vital. There are a host of issues to be mindful of, from new sources of anxiety to the chance of your pet interacting with the paint. Here are some typical problems pets might encounter during a home painting project.
Increased Stress Levels: Changes in routine or strangers’ presence can cause your pet to feel anxious.
Paint Coating: To prevent your pets’ fur from sticking into the paint and causing a bumpy finish, it’s best to keep them away from freshly painted areas.
Strong Odors: With a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans, it’s necessary to allow your house to thoroughly ventilate and dry before letting them back into newly painted areas.
Accidents: Allowing your pet to wander freely during a painting project could lead to accidents like the painting staff tripping over them or the pets meddling with the painting gear.
Creating Safe Spaces for Pets
Wondering where to place your four-legged buddy during your painting project? There are plenty of options. Here are some generally preferred locations.
- They could be in a separate room with you, keeping them protected from harmful odors.
- For indoor renovation and if you have a secured yard, they could be kept outside with you.
- Arrange for their stay at a friend’s or relative’s house for the paint job’s duration.
Do I Need to Stay the Entire Project?
While your presence isn’t mandatory for the entire project, it’s crucial that you’re present during the initial “First Ten Minutes” to validate the project’s scope with the team lead. Also, don’t forget the “Pride Walk” around the worksite to verify your complete satisfaction with the finished work.
Preparation and Cleanup
We’ll cover large furniture and move them into the room’s center, protect floors with drop cloths, plastic, or construction paper. Once the task is done, we’ll move furniture back into position and clean up all trash, leftover materials, and empty paint cans. We’ll also leave marked and leftover paint cans for your records and touch-ups.
Flexible Arrangements
Life doesn’t halt for a paint renovation. We’ll coordinate with your schedule to ensure minimal interference with your daily activities.
Usual Work Start Time
Our common start time for interior tasks lies between 8:00 am – 8:30 am, but we can fix a time that suits everyone.
It was great dealing with CertaPro painters. John came out on a Sunday to give me an estimate. They started my house painting the following week and it was a great job on time and finished on time.
