Whether you want a subtle hue to complement your space or a bold statement color, hiring professional house painters is a great way to liven up your living space. To ensure a smooth and stress-free painting experience, follow these three helpful tips on priming your home ahead of the painting crew’s arrival.
- Clean the Rooms. Deep cleaning every room you plan to paint before the house painters arrive is a great idea. If you can reduce the amount of dirt and dust in the room, that will reduce the chances of it being kicked up while painting and sticking to your newly painted walls.
- Clear All Obstructions. House painters want to disturb your daily home routine as little as possible. However, their work involves lots of moving around, so you’ll need to remove any obstructions – like furniture and carpeting – from the rooms you plan to have painted. This will give the house painters adequate space to place drop cloths, lay out supplies, and use ladders if necessary to reach certain areas. Furthermore, the less crowded and obstructed the room is before painting, the less paint will drip on important stuff.
- Ask questions. All house painting preparation questions are acceptable. To make the process easy, streamlined, and stress-free, ask your house painters what you need to do before they arrive. This will leave you better informed on what you need to remove, store, and clean before painting, as well as any other preparation steps.
