At AA Boss Painting, we’re committed to delivering exceptional results for your Auckland home. While our team of skilled painters will handle the bulk of the work, there are several steps you can take to prepare your home for our arrival. This preparation not only ensures a smoother painting process but also helps achieve the best possible outcome for your property.
1. Clear the Area
Before we arrive, remove as much furniture and decor as possible from the areas to be painted. For exterior jobs, clear the perimeter of your home, including outdoor furniture, potted plants, and garden hoses. This allows our team to work efficiently and protects your belongings from paint splatters.
2. Clean Surfaces
For interior painting, dust and wipe down walls and trim. For exterior jobs, consider pressure washing your home’s exterior to remove dirt, cobwebs, and mildew. Clean surfaces ensure better paint adhesion and a smoother finish.
3. Repair Any Damage
Inspect your walls, ceilings, and exterior surfaces for cracks, holes, or other imperfections. While our team can handle minor repairs, addressing significant issues beforehand can save time and ensure a better result.
4. Trim Trees and Shrubs
For exterior painting, trim back any trees or shrubs that are in close contact with your home. This provides better access for our painters and prevents foliage from marking freshly painted surfaces.
5. Inform Your Neighbours
Let your neighbours know about the upcoming paint job, especially for exterior work. This courtesy can prevent any surprises and allows them to make arrangements if needed, such as closing windows to avoid paint fumes.
6. Secure Pets
If you have pets, plan to keep them secured in an area away from the painting zone. This ensures their safety and prevents any disruptions to our work.
7. Provide Access
Ensure clear access to your property, including unlocking gates or providing parking space for our vehicles if necessary. If we’re painting interiors, designate a convenient entry point for our team.
8. Remove Wall Hangings
Take down pictures, mirrors, and other wall hangings. If you’re unsure about removing heavy items, let us know, and we can assist when we arrive.
9. Cover Immovable Items
For items that can’t be moved, such as large furniture pieces or built-in fixtures, cover them with drop cloths or plastic sheeting. While we bring our own protective materials, any extra precautions are always helpful.
10. Communicate Special Requirements
If you have any specific concerns or requirements, such as areas that need extra attention or colour preferences, communicate these to us before we begin. At AA Boss Painting, we value clear communication to ensure we meet and exceed your expectations.
By following these preparation steps, you’re helping to create the ideal conditions for a successful paint job. Remember, our team at AA Boss Painting is here to guide you through every step of the process. With three generations of painting expertise behind us, we’re committed to transforming your Auckland home with skill and precision.
