Preparing Your Geneva or St. Charles Home for Interior Painting: A Step-by-Step Guide

How We Prepare Your Home for Painting

• Remove Wall Hangings: Take down pictures, mirrors, and other decorations.



• Clean Surfaces: Dust and wash walls to remove dirt and grime that can affect paint adhesion.

Protect Furniture and Flooring:

• Move Furniture: Relocate furniture away from walls or to another room if possible.



• Cover Remaining Items: Use plastic sheets or drop cloths to protect furniture and floors from paint

Address Wall Imperfections:

• Fill Holes and Cracks: Use spackle or filler to repair any damage.



• Sand Surfaces: Smooth out patched areas to ensure an even finish.

 Ensure Proper Ventilation:

• Open Windows: Promote air circulation to help paint dry faster and reduce fumes.



• Use Fans: Enhance airflow in areas with limited ventilation.

Communicate With the Home Owners:

• Discuss Specific Needs: We will inform you of any areas of concern or special requirements we might have to take the extra safe route when painting in your house!

• Confirm Timeline: Understand the project schedule to plan accordingly.
