You are to remove window treatments and blinds, art, wall hangings, electronics and small breakable items from all areas to be painted. Wipe/vacuum dust and debris from any surface to be painted.  MacFarland Painting staff will move heavy/bulky items to the center of the space and wrap them in painter’s plastic. We cover floors with a combination of construction paper, canvas drop cloths and painter’s plastic and set up a staging area for tools and supplies. 

Your baluster style and pattern selection must be made 4 weeks ahead of the start date to allow for shipping of materials.  Please have a plan for children, physically unstable adults, and pets for the duration of this type of project.

Please remove furniture, planters, decor, etc. from the perimeter of the exterior to be painted. Be sure to have windows closed, access to electricity, and hose bibs turned on for access to water. Trim back shrubs, trees and other vegetation that will impede painting and repairs.  We use a variety of protective items, paper, tape, plastic, and canvas drops, and will set up an outdoor staging area for tools and supplies. We book exterior work for “the week of” and do allow time in our schedule for inclement weather in order to keep schedule disruptions to a minimum.
