How to Prepare Your Home for Professional Painting
Published June 2026 • SunCoat Painting
The quality of your paint job depends heavily on preparation. Here’s a practical checklist we give all our Central Florida clients.
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.
