We ask that you remove furniture in the room when possible. If that is not possible, we will place tarps over the furniture to protect it. Please remove all wall hangings so that all walls are bare and ready for our arrival. And lastly, please make sure there is a clear path for our painters with no obstacles.

It’s important to check for areas of dirt on a regular basis. You will most likely find it near cooking areas and anywhere that’s at hand height. Clean the surface with a mild detergent and a sponge, but try to avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners because they can dull the sheen of oil-based paint. Rinse washed surfaces thoroughly, as residual cleaners can make it hard for new paint to adhere to the surface later.

Interior paint gets dirty in many different ways, from hand prints around switches and knobs to splashes in kitchens and bathrooms. There are also chances for dirt when it comes to marks on hallways and corridors or when soot accumulates above electric lamps and other heat sources. When you remove dirt before it accumulates, this not only improves appearance, it reduces the risk of the dirt getting permanently embedded in the paint.

The timeline varies depending on the size of the project, the number of rooms being painted, and the amount of prep work involved. A single room can often be completed in a day or two, while larger or more complex projects may take several days.
