Interior House Painting To-Do List
Before our arrival, please remove all valuables and fragile items from the workspace. Take down wall art, shelves, curtains, rods, and drapes where possible, and clear smaller items such as lamps, plants, and small furniture. Empty bookshelves, countertops, stoves, refrigerators, and closets if they are being painted, and remove towels, rugs, and bathroom accessories. Be sure to unplug electronics such as computers, phones, and stereo equipment; our crew can assist with movable TVs if needed. Nails, hooks, or brackets no longer in use should also be removed, though we are happy to help with this if required. A New Leaf Painting is not responsible for damage to items left in the workspace.
Final color choices must be submitted 3–5 days before the project start date. Submit your colors here. If you plan to color-match existing paint, please notify us by email. For finishes, we recommend flat or satin on walls, satin or semi-gloss on trim and doors, and flat on ceilings.
If you will not be home during work hours, we can provide a secure lockbox for key access. In some cases, even for exterior work, our crews may need to open doors to paint them. Most clients are comfortable with our team working inside their homes during regular hours.
Please ensure that water and electricity are available throughout the project. Let the Crew Leader know which bathroom our team may use and where the best location is to set up tools and equipment.
Our crews typically arrive between 7:30–8:30 AM on the first day. Start times can be adjusted by discussing your preferences with the Crew Leader. On occasion, work may extend past 5:30 PM depending on the project’s needs.
Any significant changes to the original proposal will require a written and signed change order before the additional work can begin.
From time to time, prior issues such as broken panes, overspray, or furniture damage may be overlooked during estimates. If our crew discovers any damage, they will document and notify you before beginning work in that area. Should you wish us to repair it, a change order will be provided. We take full responsibility for any accidental damage caused by our team.
During the project, you are welcome to leave notes for the crew if you cannot be present. A pre-final walkthrough will be scheduled the day before completion to review any corrections. On the last day, we ask that you be available for a final walkthrough with the Crew Leader to ensure everything meets your expectations. Please note that rescheduling may not be possible due to our work calendar.
A 10% deposit is required to begin your project. Crew Leaders can accept check payments, and a final invoice will be sent once the work is completed. Credit or debit card payments incur a 3% processing fee, while ACH (electronic check) transfers are accepted with no additional charge. A receipt will be provided once payment has cleared.
