Keller Painting

How to Prepare Your Home for Keller Painting

When looking for a painter, you may have questions about the painting process. Here at DFW Painting we are aware of this fact and try to give you as much information as we can as your Keller painter.

Some of the most frequent questions we receive are about what you as the homeowner have to do to prepare your house for painting. We realize that for a lot of our customers it is the first time getting painting done, so we would like to help you and go through some of these questions we receive about preparing your Keller home.

What about the furniture?

We ask that you move anything on top of or inside of the furniture so we can move it easily. We recommend boxing all the items and leaving the boxes in the room. We will cover the boxes with plastic for added protection. This will make it quick and easy for you to put your room back together and you don’t have to worry about your items being damaged. Please let us know if the furniture is modular or currently damaged in any way.

What should I do with my pictures, drapes, and bedding?

The small pictures usually fit in the rooms box. The bigger ones can go in another room or closet we aren’t painting. This is a great time to have Town and Country cleaners clean your drapes or bedding. They will take them down before we show up, clean them, and then install after we are gone. If you forgo the cleaning, please move the bedding to an area we won’t be painting in.

Where do I put all the stuff from my cabinets and closets?

Cleaning out cabinets or closets can take some time, but will be rewarding once it’s painted and looking good. The garage usually gets the bulk of the kitchen cabinet items and spare bedrooms are usually loaded up with closet items.

Family heirlooms, one of a kind rugs, irreplaceable pieces, any suggestions?

If you have items that are irreplaceable we strongly suggest you have professionals that specialize in moving them take care of it, if you aren’t able to do it yourself. Many of the local art galleries provide these services.

I’m getting my whole house painted, where do I sleep?

We can leave one bedroom and bath alone until another bedroom and bath are completed, however, we don’t recommend it. Being masked off in a room, trying to sleep with paint fumes and not being able to run to the kitchen can make it difficult to keep your sanity. We highly recommend you stay somewhere else. We have arranged for special pricing at several area hotels. Please call the office for details.
