Does someone have to remain home while the painting is being done?
No, in fact most people are not home during the day and arrangements can be made in advance to accommodate your schedule. Our employees are bonded, insured and screened with criminal background checks- so you can feel confident.
What do I have to do in order to get ready for the painters
When we come in to paint your home we are expecting to handle everything ourselves. We move all of the furniture into the middle of the room, remove pictures from the walls and take down any window treatments. All furniture and belongings are carefully covered and all floors are protected with the proper drop cloths during painting. The only items we ask the customer to move are the small knick- knack type items. Upon completion of the painting we will place all furniture back in the location that it was removed from and re-hang pictures and window treatments.
How often should you have to paint the interior?
Many factors can contribute to that.
- The quality of the paint used is of the utmost importance.
- The amount of traffic through a particular area.
- Whether or not there are smokers in the home.
- Is there a fireplace that is used on a regular basis during the winter months, and does the damper work properly?
- How many children and their ages?
- There are too many factors to take into consideration, and each home can be different. However a good quality job done by a professional crew under normal conditions should last anywhere from 6-10 years. Call us and we will be happy to evaluate your particular situation and offer you a more precise answer.
How is my furniture protected during painting?
After moving the furniture into the middle of the room it will be covered in plastic. All floors will be protected by canvas drop cloths.
