Painters do a lot of preparation before painting a home. Here are some of the most important steps:
- Cover the furniture and floors. This will protect them from paint splatters.
- Remove any artwork or decorations from the walls. This will make it easier to paint and will prevent the paint from getting on them.
- Repair any holes or cracks in the walls. This will help the paint adhere better and will prevent it from peeling.
- Prime the walls. This will help the paint adhere better and will make the paint job last longer.
- Apply the paint. Painters typically apply two coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
- Touch up any areas that need it. This could include areas that were missed or that have been damaged.
- Remove the drop cloths and furniture covers.
- **Clean up any paint spills or splatters.
The preparation process can be time-consuming, but it is important to do it right to ensure a quality paint job.
