How to Live With Professionals Painters Painting Your Home Interior

If you have painters working inside your home or you are thinking about getting your home interior painted, then this blog article is for you. We are going to talk about what it’s like to have painters working under your nose and how to manage.

Prepare Yourself

The first consideration is to prepare yourself. That means if you have pets, you need to figure out ahead of time where they will hang out which is not where the painters are working. Depending on what rooms the painters will be working in, remove what you need before they start.

Painters may cover some items or furniture to protect them from paint, so after they start, you might have a hard time accessing a cabinet or drawer where they are working. If your kitchen is being painted, then set yourself up in another room with paper plates and your coffee maker. 

Smell

Oil-based paints smell worse than latex paint. However oil-based paint is required under certain circumstances. If you think it smells, you can always open some windows or go to a motel. Paint dries fairly quickly, so it may not smell for long. If you are asthmatic then keep your puffer handy or go somewhere else for a few days.

Pets

Pets need to be confined to an area where there are no painters or painting. The last thing you want is your cat stepping in wet paint and then tracking it throughout the house. Farm out your pets for a few days if that’s possible.

Stay Out of the Way

Drop cloths will be everywhere. Stay out the way of painters as much as possible. If you are there, you will slow them down, and it will be easy to get paint on you. Talk to your painters from a doorway if needed or at the beginning or end of the work day.

Yes, it is always uncomfortable when you are having renovations. However, getting a new coat paint does not take long and will make a world of difference to how your room looks. If you plan ahead, your new paint job will be over before you know it.
