Real Estate Listing Preparation Painting FAQs
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint. The painters we connect you with follow EPA RRP lead-safe work practices for affected homes — ask about it when you call.
Clear small items and wall decor, and make sure there's a clear path to the rooms. Your painter handles the rest — protection, prep, paint, and cleanup.
Most single rooms take 1–2 days including prep and dry time. Whole-home interiors typically take 3–7 days depending on size and condition. Your painter will give you a clear schedule with your free estimate.
Your painter will handle moving and protecting furniture — most ask you to clear small valuables and breakables beforehand. Everything else gets covered with drop cloths and plastic sheeting.
Flat or matte hides wall flaws and suits bedrooms and ceilings; eggshell and satin are popular for living areas; semi-gloss works best for trim, doors, and bathrooms. Your painter can recommend the right sheen for each surface.
