How to Prepare Your Home for a Professional Painting Project

Setting the Stage for a Perfect Result

You've hired Paint HTX—great decision. Now, here are a few simple steps you can take to help us deliver the best possible result and keep your project running smoothly.

Before We Arrive

Clear the Walls

Remove all wall hangings, photos, mirrors, and shelving. This saves time and ensures nothing gets damaged. Don't worry about filling nail holes—that's our job.

Declutter the Perimeter

Move small items, lamps, and decorative objects away from walls. The more clear space our team has to work with, the more efficiently we can complete your project.

Discuss Access

Let us know about alarm codes, gate access, and any areas of your home that require special attention or are off-limits.

What We Handle

At Paint HTX, we believe in a full-service experience. Here's what our team takes care of:

During the Project

Stay Available

While you don't need to be home during the work, it helps to be reachable by phone for any questions. Our project manager will keep you informed of daily progress.

HVAC Considerations

Keep your AC running during interior painting projects. Good air circulation helps paint cure properly—especially important in Houston's humid climate.

Pets and Children

For safety and to prevent paw prints in fresh paint, we recommend keeping pets in a separate area. The same goes for young children.

After Completion

Touch-Up Kit

We'll leave you a touch-up kit with your exact paint colors and the applicators to use them.

Curing Time

While paint is dry to the touch within hours, it takes 2-4 weeks to fully cure. Be gentle with freshly painted surfaces during this time.
