EXTERIOR PAINTING PREPARATION AND PROCESS
1. Trim Your Plants
Trimming back plants from areas that are to be painted is incredibly important. As long as they are 8-10 inches away from your exterior, you should be all set. When it comes to hedges, trimming them helps us work around them with more efficiency and ensures that areas get an even coating.
2. Clear Work Areas
Removing items such as bikes, hoses, garden implements, decorative objects, planters, balcony furniture, and sporting goods from any exterior painting work areas is a must. This ensures we get the job done as efficiently and effectively as possible.
3. Windows and Doors
On power wash day, it’s crucial to have all doors and windows closed and securely fastened. After the power wash, there will be water spots on the windows. This is, unfortunately, unavoidable. Please do not have your windows cleaned until after the exterior paint project is complete. Also, any paint chips left from power washing are cleaned up after the ground has dried, but that may not be until the painting crew arrives. We cannot guarantee that we will find 100% of the chips, but we will make every effort to leave your yard clean.
Note: In older homes, windows are not always sealed. Water can sometimes get through to the inside.
4. Protect Your Pets
Have a plan to keep your furry friends safe while we are working! For the safety of your pets and our workers, pets are not allowed to be left loose in the yard.
5. Keep Your Painted Doors and Windows Open
Painted doors and windows need to be left open for a few hours on the days they are painted so they can properly cure. You will be able to close them before going to bed. Your Job Site Supervisor will work with you to schedule the best day(s) for that to be done.

6. Turn Off Lawn Sprinklers
Please make sure lawn sprinklers are turned off after the power wash day if they spray an area that will be painted.
