How to Prepare Your Home for Professional Painting

Published June 2026 · Painting Service Co.

A coat is only as good as what happens before it. Most of the work that makes a finish last is prep — and a little of it is yours. Here’s the checklist we hand every Central Florida homeowner so the crew can protect your home and get straight to the wall.

2–3 Weeks Before

  • Choose your colors and approve the proposal
  • Clear any personal items you don’t want moved
  • Arrange for pets to be elsewhere during work hours

1 Week Before

  • Remove pictures, mirrors, and wall decorations
  • Take down curtains and blinds if possible
  • Move or cover furniture in the work areas
  • Clear access to electrical outlets and light switches

Day Before

  • Park vehicles away from the work area
  • Secure valuables
  • Confirm start time with our team

Don’t worry — our crews are experienced at protecting floors, moving furniture carefully, and leaving your home clean every day. We just need a little cooperation from you.
