Preparing your home for a professional paint job is essential for achieving the best results. At A Team Painters, we recommend several steps to ensure your home is ready for our expert painters.

Clear the Area

Start by removing all furniture, decorations, and personal items from the rooms to be painted.

• Move Furniture: Shift furniture to another room or the center of the room, away from walls.
• Remove Wall Hangings: Take down pictures, mirrors, and other wall hangings.
• Cover Large Items: Use plastic sheets or drop cloths to cover furniture and large items that cannot be moved.

Clean the Surfaces

Clean walls and surfaces to ensure the paint adheres properly.

• Dust and Vacuum: Remove dust and cobwebs from walls, ceilings, and corners.
• Wash Walls: Clean walls with a mild detergent and water to remove grime and stains.
• Repair Damage: Fill any holes or cracks with spackle and sand smooth.

Protect Fixtures and Flooring

Protect fixtures, trim, and flooring from paint splatters and drips.

• Tape Edges: Use painter’s tape to cover edges of trim, windows, and doors.
• Cover Floors: Lay down drop cloths or plastic sheets to protect flooring.
• Remove Fixtures: Take off light switch covers, outlet covers, and light fixtures if possible.

Plan for Ventilation

Ensure proper ventilation to help paint dry faster and reduce fumes.

• Open Windows: Keep windows open to allow fresh air to circulate.
• Use Fans: Place fans in the room to help with air circulation and drying time.

Coordinate with Your Painters

Communicate with your painting contractors to understand their specific needs and recommendations.
