Interior Checklist
Before your Interior project commences review the General
Guidelines below, and then
complete the Interior
Checklist Form. If you have any additional questions
about the specifics of your project contact your original estimator.
General Guidelines for Interior Painting
- Decide what areas of the project you want completed first. Manor
Works will follow your schedule. If you want the bedrooms done first
so you can get all of the closet activities done at once, just let
your Senior Painter know this. Keep in mind that Manor Works typically
sets up to work in three areas each day.
- Decide which pictures, if any, will be going back up in the
same location. If you will be removing, then replacing
pictures in the exact same location, simply leave the nail or screw
in the wall. If you know you will not be putting the pictures back
up, remove the nail or screw. This way the Senior Painter will know
which holes to fill.
- Remove any personal belongings (lamps, trinkets, pictures,
etc.) from the areas to be painted. Manor Works will move
and replace all your furniture as part of the project. You should move
individual belongings yourself.
- Remove any fragile items from inside of any cabinets located
in the areas to be painted. Manor Works will move your
furniture and/or china cabinets as part of the project. Any breakables
should be removed from the area.
- Unplug and/or remove any electronic equipment (stereos, computers,
televisions, etc) from the areas to be painted. Manor
Works can move these items for you if necessary, but you will need
to reattach all wiring.
- If the insides of closets are to be painted, be prepared to
lay the contents of the closets on a bed the day that room is scheduled
to be painted. This way Manor Works can roll the bed away
from the work as necessary.
- Decide if you want registers and electrical face plates painted. Let
your Senior Painter know how you want these items handled. Some customers
want them painted, while others do not.
- Be prepared to clean your house (dust, vacuum, etc.) in the
days that follow your project. Manor Works will use drop
clothes and plastic during the project to protect your belongs. Drywall
dust, however will be created in the preparation process. Drywall dust
is extremely fine, and will often time settle several days after it
was created (and after the plastic has been removed). You should wait
30 days before scrubbing any painted surface to allow the paint time
to cure.
