Exterior Painting Prep Guide
CertaPro Painters® of Renton Kent, WA
Typical Crew Start Time: 9:00 am
Typical Start Time: Our crews generally arrive at 9 AM to start the workday but, we can customize a schedule that works for you. In most cases, your CertaPro estimator or another CertaPro team manager will be present to start the project and stop in throughout the duration of the project to check on progress & quality.
Scheduling Note: While we do our best to stay on schedule, factors like weather or changes in earlier projects can occasionally impact start dates. If anything changes, we’ll keep you informed right away so there are no surprises.
For Exterior Projects – Preparing for Your Painting Crew
To help your project run smoothly, safely, and on schedule, please take a few moments to prepare the following before we arrive:
- Foliage: Trim bushes/plants at least 12” away from the home. Remove any vines attached to surfaces being painted.
- Windows: Ensure all windows are fully closed. If you’ve had past leaks, please notify us and consider placing towels inside as a precaution.
- Decks/Porches: Remove furniture, décor, and fabric items. (Decks are only pressure washed if we are staining them.)
- Screens: Please unlatch window screens from the inside so they can be removed from the outside.
- Pets: Keep pets safely away from work areas and advise us of any special instructions.
- Access: Unlock gates and provide access to all work areas, including any necessary codes.
- Water & Power: Let us know where exterior water and electrical outlets are located.
- Parking: Inform us of any restrictions or best parking options.
Need Help?
If you’re unable to complete any of these items, just let us know, we’re happy to assist (additional charges may apply).
HOA Reminder:
If applicable, please confirm HOA approvals (colors/work) prior to your project start.
Great service, great communication, great job. Overall excellent job. Do yourself a favor and don’t consider anyone else. Just get it done.
