Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint. The painters we connect you with follow EPA RRP lead-safe work practices for affected homes — ask about it when you call.
Clear small items and wall decor, and make sure there's a clear path to the rooms. Your painter handles the rest — protection, prep, paint, and cleanup.
Most single rooms take 1–2 days including prep and dry time. Whole-home interiors typically take 3–7 days depending on size and condition. Your painter will give you a clear schedule with your free estimate.
Your painter will handle moving and protecting furniture — most ask you to clear small valuables and breakables beforehand. Everything else gets covered with drop cloths and plastic sheeting.
