Fresh Paint Aftercare Guide

For Interior Painting:

🧼 Clear and clean surfaces: Please remove any personal items, wall hangings, or furniture where possible. if you cannot remove the furniture from the room please place the furniture into the middle of the room.  

🪟 Cover delicate or large items: We’ll take care of protecting floors and main furniture, but feel free to cover anything you’d like extra protected.

🚪 Open access: Ensure we have clear access to rooms being painted, and notify us of any areas that need special attention.

For Exterior Painting:

🌳 Trim plants and move outdoor furniture: Keeping the workspace clear of overgrown greenery or objects to help us work safely and efficiently.

🚿 Gently wash surfaces if possible: A light rinse (or lett us know if you’d like us to pressure wash) helps remove dirt and dust before painting.

💡 Secure pets and advise of any access needs: We love pets—but please ensure they’re safe and secure during our work.

The duration of the job depends on the size and scope of the project. Most standard interior or exterior repaints take 1 - 2 weeks, but larger homes, detailed prep work, or poor weather conditions (for exteriors) can extend this timeframe.

Before we begin transforming your home, we’ll provide you with a more accurate time estimate based on your specific job, and we’ll always keep you updated along the way.

We pride ourselves on being efficient without compromising on quality!

Small repairs like:

These are all part of our prep process to ensure a smooth, clean finish.

If there’s serious water damage, mould, or ongoing leaks – we’ll assess it and guide you through the next steps before painting begins.
