Preparation And Arrival Time

How to prepare for interior painting

Prior to William Quality Painting’s Arrival:

  • Please remove fragile items such as lamps, knickknacks, artwork, and décor from the work area.
  • If possible, remove window treatments before the crew arrives.
  • If work is being done in a bathroom, remove towels and personal items.
  • If cabinets, shelving, or closets are being painted, remove the contents first.
  • Unplug electronics or clearly mark cords that must remain plugged in.
  • Please designate a restroom for crew use and, if possible, a utility sink.
  • If you have pets, please make arrangements to keep them out of the work area.
  • If you have an alarm system, turn it off or let us know how to disarm it if needed.
  • Please confirm color selections at least one week in advance.
  • If any work is to be done per client direction, please prepare a written task list.
  • Inform us of parking options, including street parking, driveway access, or permit needs.
  • Signed forms and deposit are due before work begins.

William Quality Painting crews are thoughtful & responsive

  • Our crew will confirm the arrival time before the project begins.
  • Furniture will be moved away from walls and returned when the work area is complete. Please empty heavy pieces first.
  • Furniture and flooring will be protected with plastic sheeting, paper, or canvas drop cloths.
  • The work site will be left tidy at the end of each day, with trash removed upon project completion.
  • Outlet covers and switch plates may be removed, but electrical fixtures are not dismantled.
  • If lead paint is involved, lead-safe guidelines will be followed to reduce contamination risk.
  • Questions during the job should be shared with the foreman or estimator so concerns can be addressed quickly.
  • Leftover paint will be labeled and left at the home for future touch-ups.

About Cure Times:

Latex paints dry to the touch in a few hours but can take about 30 days to fully cure. Please plan accordingly before replacing items on shelving, rehanging artwork, or closing newly painted doors, especially during periods of high humidity.

Your Satisfaction

Your project is not considered complete until you confirm that you are pleased. Please let us know if anything is amiss or has been overlooked.
