Preparing your space for a professional painting project is essential to ensure a smooth and efficient process. At Straight Edge Painting, serving Kelowna and the surrounding areas since 2005, we value collaboration with our clients to achieve exceptional results. Here’s how you can get your space ready before our team arrives:
1. Clear the Area
Residential Spaces: Remove furniture and décor to provide ample workspace. If moving large items is challenging, centralize them and cover with drop cloths.
Commercial Spaces: Coordinate with your team to relocate equipment and minimize disruptions, ensuring our painters have unobstructed access
2. Clean the Surfaces
Wipe down walls to remove dust, dirt, and oils. Clean surfaces allow for better paint adhesion and a smoother finish.
3. Address Minor Repairs
Fill small holes or cracks with spackle and sand them smooth. While our team can handle significant repairs, taking care of minor issues beforehand expedites the process.
4. Protect Floors and Remaining Furniture
Use drop cloths or plastic sheeting to cover floors and any furniture that remains in the room, safeguarding them from paint splatters.
5. Remove Wall Hangings and Fixtures
Take down artwork, photos, mirrors, and window treatments. For permanent fixtures like light fittings or ceiling fans, consult with us to determine whether to remove or cover them.
6. Plan for Pets
Ensure pets are in a safe, separate area during the painting project to reduce stress and prevent interference with the work.
7. Ensure Access and Ventilation
• Access: Coordinate schedules to provide our team with the necessary access to your property.
• Ventilation: Open windows and use fans to ventilate the area, helping paint dry faster and dissipating fumes.
By following these steps, you contribute to a seamless painting experience. At Straight Edge Painting, we are dedicated to transforming your space with quality workmanship, experience, and reliability. Whether it’s residential interiors and exteriors, commercial painting, or new construction projects, we’re here to bring your vision to life.
