Hiring a professional to paint your home is a great way to ensure quality results. Before the painter arrives, prepare your home to speed up the process and help them do their best work. Below is a list of tips that every homeowner should follow.

How to Prepare for a Professional Painter

1. Move the Furniture

Remove all furniture from the rooms to be painted. Aside from protecting tables, chairs, and couches from damage, the painter must be able to move freely around the room. If you don’t have extra space in your home, rent a temporary storage unit. As a last resort, gather your furnishings in the center of the room and cover them in plastic. 

2. Remove Wall Hangings

It’s the homeowner’s responsibility to remove wall hangings, such as framed photos, wall art, and paintings. Take down shelves, too, to ensure an even paint job. To make rolling easier for the painter, remove nails from the wall — you will still be able to rehang pieces in the same place.

3. Clean & Make Repairs 

Clean your walls to prevent dirt and dust from getting trapped beneath the coat of paint. Mix a gallon of water with a few teaspoons of laundry detergent to use as a cleaning solution. If there are any holes or cracks in the wall, spackle and sand ahead of time for a smooth surface.
