Preparation Makes Perfect

Preparation is essential to an efficient, professional, and organized worksite and result. Here is some things LC Painters do to help our projects run effectively:
1. Itemized work estimate
Before any project begins, clients have reviewed the work estimate and have agreed to the scope of work. If items need to be added or removed, that will be done before the work begins.
2. Product/supply pick up
Prior to the project beginning, a number of key products and supplies will be picked up to ensure an efficient first day.
3. Protection
Before any work commences, workers must identify what items need to be covered. This often involves taping/papering floors, plastic wrapping furniture/other large items and removal of window coverings, tv’s ect….
4. Work area
Having a clean and organized work area is essential to staying on task and keeping things in one place, organized daily and covered at the end of every shift. All paints and supplies are kept here and should not be in any high traffic areas.
5. Prepare for paint
Before paint products are applied to any surfaces, there are many things that have to be completed. Any repairs have to be addressed and sanded; switch plates removed from outlets. All window coverings and door handles should be removed and/or protected. A thorough radial sand to all wall surfaces to ensure a smooth finish.
6. Clean up
Once all surfaces have been prepared and top coated, all floor coverings and plastic should be removed. Drywall repairing can leave behind some dust so the floors need to be swept and vacuumed before reinstalling all hardware and closing off the room.

A well-executed residential house painting project isn’t just about applying paint—it’s about precision, preparation, and a clean finish. By maintaining an organized workspace, thoroughly preparing surfaces, and ensuring a proper cleanup, we guarantee a flawless result that enhances your home’s beauty and durability.
