Preparing for painters to come and paint the interior of your house is an important step to ensure a smooth and successful painting process. While out team here at Paint Denver can absolutely do the prep work for your interior paint job, there are some items you can complete yourself if you so choose! Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get your home ready for Highlands Ranch painters.

Clear the Space

Remove furniture and other items from the rooms to be painted. This includes wall hangings, decorations, and any personal belongings. If it’s not possible to remove all furniture, move it to the center of the room and cover it with plastic sheets to protect it from paint splatter.

Clean and Repair

Clean the walls and surfaces to be painted. Dust, dirt, and grime can affect the paint’s adhesion. Repair any cracks, holes, or imperfections in the walls. Patching these areas will result in a smoother finish.

Protect Flooring

Cover the floors with drop cloths or plastic sheets. This will protect your flooring from accidental spills or drips of paint. If possible, remove any area rugs to prevent them from getting stained. Our team is meticulous and clean, but accidents happen!

Outlet Covers and Taping

Take off outlet covers and switch plates to ensure that the painters can paint the entire wall without any obstructions. Mask and tape areas that you don’t want to be painted, such as trim, baseboards, and windows. This will create clean lines and prevent accidental paint on surfaces you want to keep untouched.

Discuss Color and Finish

Confirm the chosen paint colors and finishes with the painters before they start. This ensures that there are no misunderstandings and that the final result meets your expectations. Communicate any specific instructions or concerns you may have with the painters. Clear communication helps in achieving the desired outcome.

Final Inspection

Before the painters start, do a final walkthrough with them. Point out any specific areas of concern and ensure that everything is in order before the painting begins. By taking these steps, you can help your Highlands Ranch painters work efficiently and deliver a high-quality paint job. Preparing your home properly will contribute to a positive experience and ensure the longevity of the paintwork.
