5 Steps to Prepare Your Home for Professional Painting

How to Prepare your home for professional painters

First of all, you’ve made a very wise decision to hire professionals to paint your home rather than attempting this job on your own. In terms of home value, aesthetics, lifetime of the work, protection of other non-painted surfaces, paint durability and so much more- professional painters are the right choice. In order to make the job go smoothly here are a few tips to help you and the professionals prior to their arrival.

Clear the walls

If you have pictures, decorations or mirrors on the walls you should remove them and store them in another location. Don’t worry about the holes that are left because the professionals will fill and repair any imperfections in your wall prior to painting.

Move Furniture

If possible move the furniture completely out of the room. However, if that is not possible try to move the furniture towards the center of the room and away from the walls. Don’t worry about covering up the furniture because the professionals will bring protective sheets to cover any necessary items.

Window Treatments

You should remove any curtains or blinds to help protect them and from paint splatter and move them out-of-the-way for ease of painting.

Vacuum

Even though the floors will be protected it is a great idea to vacuum prior to painting. Once the painters leave and remove all of their items the paint could still be drying. Any debris on the floor could easily get kicked up and it here to your freshly painted walls.

Clear path

This may be obvious but make sure there is a clear path from your entryway to the room or area you are going to have painted. Painters will need to bring in their supplies and materials into your home.


When you hire professionals there is not much work to be done before they arrive. If you follow these tips your home will be ready for a vibrant, fresh coat of paint.
