Exterior House Painting To-Do List
Before we arrive, we ask that our customers please remove any valuable or fragile items from the workspace. This includes removing small accessories, decorations, patio furniture, and grills away from the house. Our crews will help move any larger items, but A New Leaf Painting will not be held responsible for any valuable items left in the workspace that may incur damage.
Occasionally, no one can be at the property to provide access. The majority of clients who hire us, do so because they feel comfortable with us in their homes during work hours. We may need to have access to your home even if we are doing exterior work, we will need to open exterior doors to paint them. If needed, we have lock boxes that can be discreetly placed outside your home in order to keep your key onsite to ensure we have access.
Select final paint colors at least 5–7 days prior to the start of the project! If you plan to color-match your existing colors, please let us know via email!

Select a finish for the body: flat or satin (we use satin and semi-gloss for doors & trim and flat for ceilings). Submit your exterior colors here!
Our painting crews usually arrive between 7:30–8:30 AM on the first day of starting your project. However, going forward they prefer to arrive early. Although, you can let them know the best time for you and your family and they will work within these times.
We may work longer hours than the other trades. Upon special circumstances, we may stay later than 5:30 PM.
Cut away any landscaping (bushes, trees, branches, & grass) that is growing up against the side of the house. Make sure the lawn is cut and weed-eat along the edges.
Make sure when painters arrive, there is access to water and power. Let our crew leads know which areas of the home would be best to set up shop and have a staging area for tools and equipment. Please let us know which bathroom our team can use.
If there are any significant changes from the painting proposal, the operations manager will gladly write you up a change order estimate and request your authorization via signature before any additional work can begin.
From time to time the estimators (and you) may miss some previous damage (i.e.: broken windowpane, over-spray from the previous painter, broken furniture, etc.). We want you to know that our crews will take the initiative to admit to existing/accidental damage they may cause and will make it right. If we should find any damage, we will inform you before starting that area. If you would like us to repair the item, it will require a change order.
Feel free to leave written messages for the painters if you are at work. The crew leader should ask you to do a walk-through the day before completion to see if there are any corrections to be made.
On the last day of the project, we ask the customer to be available for a final walkthrough with the crew leader to ensure all work is acceptable and up to expectations. If the customer does not make themselves available, we may not be able to reschedule and the walkthrough will need to be done by them due to scheduling restrictions.
