4 Ways to Prepare for Your Next Interior Painting Service
At some point, you may take a look around your Cedar Rapids home and think that it's high time you called in a professional to slap on a fresh coat of interior paint. You'd be right to think that way. After all, your interior paint job is bound to fade and wear down over time, leaving your home looking less than its very best. By getting a fresh interior painting service, you can enjoy a number of great benefits such as:
A more beautiful home
Cleaner indoor air quality
Higher property value
Don't be so hasty when you schedule your next service that you neglect to put in a bit of work before your painter arrives. No, we don't mean to suggest that you do any of the painting work yourself. Rather, we're saying that you need to take some time to prepare the room to be painted.
By following these tips from your local painting pros at Mike Wolfe Painting, you'll be sure to get the quickest and most beautiful results at the lowest cost:
1. Clear Out Your Furniture
You don't want your beautiful and, more than likely, expensive furniture pieces to get splattered with paint, and your painters don't want that for you, either. So, what can you do? Get that furniture moved out of the room to be painted, of course. By handling the work yourself, you can significantly reduce the job's cost and protect your furniture from stains.
2. Remove Wall Hangings
Furniture isn't the only thing you need to clear out of the room before the painting service begins. You also want to get any wall hangings out of there, too. After all, those hangings will only prevent your painter from getting their work done, and you could risk getting them stained with paint. So, before they arrive, take some time to remove hangings from your walls such as:
Hooks
Nails
Mirrors
Photographs
Other wall decor
3. Take Down Curtains
While you're busy taking down your wall hangings, you'll want to take down something else: your curtains. Like anything, they can get in the way of your painter's work. But, unlike other things, curtains tend to stain permanently. So, to keep your costly window coverings looking great, take time to take them down before your interior painting service starts.
4. Contain Your Pets
Your pets bring a lot of joy and love to your life. Do you know what else they bring? Problems—at least, they do if they make themselves comfortable on a worksite, especially one that's being painted. To ensure your furry friends don't frustrate your painters or get a snout-full of wet paint, take a moment to contain your pets and put them somewhere safe.
