The Painters are coming There are few things you will have done on the interior of your home where things are disturbed as much as when you have a room painted. Things like: • Everything in the room will probably be moved in order to paint your ceilings, walls and trim. • There most likely will be dust or other lost objects under the furniture. • Painters will be in the home all day or several days depending on the size of the project. • The painters doing your work will need the use of facilities. • There will be some extra mess with patching and sanding. • On a multi day project will need to store material and equipment. What Should You Expect From a Professional Painting Company • THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD ALWAYS IDENTIFY WHO WILL BE COMING TO YOUR HOME. • The professionals should be equipped with furniture slides to ease the moving of your furniture and avoid scratching your wood floors or stretching your carpet. • Do not stress over the dust. In 35 years or painting homes, we have met few people who move their heavy furniture to vacuum under it, and the lost items; the professional will pick it up and tell you or set it where it can easily be found. • You should identify with your painter a facility for the professionals to use, or make arrangements for the contractor to have a Por-to-let delivered to the home. Under no circumstances should any painting equipment be washed in the home or on the property. • Everything in the room should be covered prior to starting; drop clothes on the floors and plastic on anything else. On multi day projects a shop area should be decided upon and kept neat and orderly. • The professionals that have been in your home should be expected to clean up upon completion of the work. Vacuums, Swiffers, dust rags etc. should be standard equipment in the truck.
