- Move small valuables and breakables out of the rooms being painted.
- Take down wall hangings, photos and curtains where you can.
- Clear access to the walls — we'll move heavier furniture and cover it.
- Note any repairs or problem spots you want looked at.
- Secure pets somewhere quiet and safe.
What we handle
We take care of masking, protecting floors and furniture, surface prep, and the daily clean-up — you don't need to cover everything yourself.
