Preparing Your Home for a Professional Paint Job

4 min read 24 April 2026 Prolux Painters

A little preparation on your side helps the job run smoothly and protects your belongings. Here is a simple checklist.

Professional painters handle the surface preparation, masking and protection — but there are a few simple things you can do beforehand to make the project faster, safer and stress-free.

Before we arrive

  • Move small valuables, ornaments and electronics out of the work areas
  • Take down wall hangings, photos and mirrors if you can
  • Clear a path to the rooms or exterior walls being painted
  • Let us know about pets so we can keep doors and gates managed
  • Point out any problem areas — cracks, water stains or previous repairs

What we take care of

Our team covers and protects your floors and furniture, fills and sands imperfections, cleans and primes surfaces, and masks off everything that is not being painted. When the job is done, we complete a full cleanup so you can enjoy the result straight away.

Clear communication is part of every Prolux project. We walk you through the plan before we start and check in with you at the end to make sure you are completely happy.
