How To Prep Your Western North Texas Home Interior For A New Paint Job
Posted on September 23, 2026
Ready to give your Western North Texas home a fresh new look with professional interior painting? Whether you’re updating one room, refreshing your home’s main living spaces, or repainting several areas, preparing your home before the project begins can help create a smoother and more efficient painting experience.
Here are 5 simple tips to help you get started.
1. Clear the Walls
Before the painting crew arrives, remove pictures, artwork, mirrors, shelves, clocks, and other decorative items from the walls. Clearing these items gives the painters better access to the surfaces and helps keep your belongings protected.
Place wall décor and hardware in a safe location so everything is easy to find when it’s time to put your room back together.
2. Create Space Around Your Furniture
Move smaller furniture pieces out of the room whenever possible. Larger pieces can be moved toward the center of the room to provide the painting crew with adequate workspace around the walls.
3. Remove Curtains and Window Treatments
Take down curtains, blinds, valances, and other removable window treatments before painting begins. This allows the crew to work more easily around windows, trim, and surrounding walls while helping protect your window coverings from paint.
Keep the window treatments and hardware together in a safe place until the project is complete.
4. Put Away Valuable and Fragile Items
Protect valuable and fragile belongings by removing them from the painting area. Consider storing electronics, collectibles, artwork, decorative accessories, and other delicate possessions in another room.
This also helps create a less cluttered workspace for the painting crew and makes it easier to move around the room.
5. Identify Areas That Need Repair
Before painting begins, look over the walls, ceilings, and trim for areas that may need preparation or repair. Common issues include:
- Nail holes
- Cracks
- Dents
- Scuff marks
- Stains
- Peeling or loose paint
- Uneven surfaces
