Homeowner Paint Prep Checklist for a Perfect Finish
Getting ready for a painting project? This simple preparation checklist will help ensure a smooth and efficient painting process for your home.
Our specialties
Remove Wall Decorations
Before painting begins, remove any items hanging on the walls such as artwork, photos, mirrors, shelves, and wall décor. This allows painters to safely access the wall surface and ensures that nothing gets damaged during the project.
Move Furniture if Possible
Moving furniture away from the walls allows painters to work more efficiently and helps protect your belongings. If possible, move larger furniture toward the center of the room. Our team will carefully cover and protect furniture and flooring before beginning work.
Remove Fragile or Valuable Items
We recommend temporarily removing fragile items, valuables, or delicate décor from the work area to prevent accidental damage during the project.
Ensure Clear Work Areas
Providing clear access to the rooms being painted allows our team to work safely and efficiently. If possible, remove small items from floors, shelves, and nearby surfaces before the project begins.
Plan for Pets and Children
During the painting process, tools, ladders, and equipment will be present. For safety, it is best to keep pets and small children away from the work areas while painting is in progress.
Confirm Your Paint Colors
Final paint colors should be confirmed before the project begins so materials can be prepared properly. If you are unsure about color choices, Trojan Home Services offers complimentary color consultations for clients who have booked a project with us.

"Nick and Kayla have done various projects for me, including installing a bathroom vanity, new outside door, sanded and painted my front porch, and will be replacing the kitchen counters. We also have another project in the works. They are professional, reliable and accessible. Nick and Kayla were both extremely helpful, and patient, when trying to decide on styles, colors, finishes, etc. I highly recommend Trojan Home Services for your home improvements."
