Preparing for Your Interior Painting Project

Items on Walls: Please disconnect and remove wall-mounted televisions and any electronics with more than a single power cord connection. Take down all pictures and paintings, leaving nails/hooks only if you plan to reuse them in the same place. Remove nails/hooks you will no longer need.
Items to Be Covered/Removed: Remove all small and fragile items. Please empty closets, cabinets, and bookshelves in any areas scheduled for painting.
Window Treatments: Take down all window treatments. If brackets will not be reused and you wish to have holes filled, please remove brackets as well.
Pets: Plan to keep pets away from the work area. If you have special instructions regarding gates, latches, or doors related to pets, please inform your Job Site Supervisor upon arrival.
