Project Checklist
Exterior Painting Project Checklist
A practical checklist for homeowners and property managers so the crew can begin without avoidable delays.
Trim vegetation if needed
Bushes or branches touching siding or trim should be cut back so surfaces can be washed, prepped, and painted.
Close windows and unlock gates
Make sure windows are closed and the crew can access all sides of the property.
Coordinate parking and neighbors
Reserve space for equipment and let nearby neighbors know if access, ladders, or masking may be visible.
Not sure what to move?
Leave heavy or awkward items alone unless we specifically ask. We mainly need small, fragile, personal, or high-value items cleared so masking and protection can start quickly.
