Clear trim and door areas
Move furniture, rugs, decor, and stored items away from baseboards, doors, handrails, and built-ins.
Project Checklist
Millwork Prep & Painting Project Checklist
A practical checklist for homeowners and property managers so the crew can begin without avoidable delays.
Identify hardware decisions
Confirm whether knobs, hinges, handles, plates, or other hardware should be removed, protected, or replaced.
Point out damage
Show us dents, gaps, previous paint issues, or details that matter most before sanding and filling starts.
Confirm finish expectations
Trim and millwork sheen matters. Confirm the desired finish level and color before production begins.
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.
