How to Prep Your Home Before Painting Day
Good news first: when you hire Sunrise Painting, the heavy lifting is ours. Masking, drop cloths, protecting your floors, furniture, and landscaping, and all surface prep are handled for you. Your part is short — here's the whole list.
Inside your home:
Move large furniture 3 to 4 feet away from the walls (we'll handle protecting what's in the room).
Take down pictures, mirrors, and anything fragile or irreplaceable, and clear small items off shelves and mantels.
Decide on pets and kids for paint days — fresh paint and curious hands don't mix, and doors will be opening and closing.
Outside your home:
Trim plants and branches back from the walls where you can, and move patio furniture, grills, and décor away from the house.
Shut off your automatic irrigation 24 hours before we start, and keep it off until the exterior has cured — plan on about 48 hours after we finish.
Make sure we can get to every side of the house: gates unlocked, vehicles out of the driveway.
Two things to tell us ahead of time:
Lead paint: if your home was built before 1978, let us know before work begins so proper safety procedures are followed.
Anything that concerns you — a crack you've been watching, a spot that's peeled before, a color you're unsure about. Painting day is the wrong time to mention it; the walkthrough before is the right one.
