A fresh coat of paint can completely transform your home’s interior. However, proper preparation ensures a smooth process and the best results. Here are ten things to prepare before hiring a painting company for your interior repainting project.

1. Choose Your Colors Wisely

If you haven't already, take some time to select your colors. We recommend testing samples on your walls to see how lighting and furniture affect the final look.

2. Decide on the Finish

Flat, eggshell, satin, or gloss? Each has different durability and sheen levels. Let us know what works best for your space, and we can guide you if you need help.

3. Clear the Space

Please remove furniture, wall decor, and valuables so we have easy access to your walls and can prevent accidental damage.

4. Protect Floors & Fixtures

While we take precautions to cover and protect surfaces, you may want to remove or secure delicate items near the painting area.

5. Let Us Handle Wall Repairs

No need to worry about patching holes or fixing cracks—Gordon Painting will take care of all necessary wall repairs to ensure a smooth finish before painting.

6. Clean the Walls

Dirt, grease, and dust can affect how paint adheres. A quick wipe-down with mild soap and water will improve results.

7. Plan for Drying & Ventilation

To help the paint dry efficiently and reduce fumes, keep windows open or have fans running while we work.

8. Discuss Timeline & Expectations

We’ll go over the project schedule with you, including how long the job will take and what to expect throughout the process.

9. Secure Pets & Kids

For their safety, please keep pets and small children away from the painting area while we work.

10. Know Your Budget

Unexpected costs can arise, so having a clear budget in mind helps. We’ll provide transparent pricing so there are no surprises.

Following these steps ensures a hassle-free experience and outstanding results. If you have any questions before we arrive, just let us know. We can’t wait to transform your space with a fresh coat of paint!
