Before beginning an interior painting project, it is important to move small items, fragile items, and pictures or mirrors off the walls. We will take care of any larger or heavier objects that cannot be moved, and we will cover all furniture, floors, and other surfaces with plastic and tarps to protect them from paint splatter. For exterior painting, make sure to move potted plants and any window-based AC units away from the house. If necessary, we can help you move any AC units inside your home.
