Prepping Your Home for Professional Painters

When the time comes to freshen up the look of your home, hiring professional painters can save you time and deliver a high-quality finish. But, before the team from Manzelli Roofing and Construction arrives with brushes and paint cans in hand, there are few things you need to do. Proper preparation is key to ensuring a seamless painting job.

Clear The Area

The first step in preparing your home for professional painters is to clear the area. Remove all the wall hangings, furniture, and rugs from the room. If certain heavy items cannot be moved, just push them to the center of the room. This will provide our painters ample space to move around and protect your belongings from accidental paint splatters.

Clean Your Walls

Over time, dust and dirt accumulate on your walls, which could affect the quality of the paint job. Therefore, it is crucial to clean your walls before the painters arrive. A simple mixture of mild detergent and warm water should do the trick.

Take Care of Wall Repairs

Inspect your walls for any cracks, holes, or peeling paint. These need to be fixed before painting begins to ensure a smooth finish. If you notice any major issues, inform us in advance so we can arrange for necessary repairs.

Remove Outlet Covers and Light Switch Plates

Remove all outlet covers and light switch plates to prevent them from being painted over. This also allows the painters to cover every inch of the wall, ensuring a more professional finish. Remember to keep all the screws and plates in a safe place for reinstallation.

Protect Your Floors

Finally, even though professional painters like those at Manzelli take utmost care to avoid spills and drips, it’s always a good idea to protect your floors. You can use drop cloths or old sheets to cover your floors and prevent any accidental paint stains.

Proper preparation can make the painting process faster, smoother, and more efficient. Now that you know how to prepare your home for professional painters, you can look forward to a stress-free painting job and a beautifully transformed space.
