Preparation of the room and furniture:

It is crucial to have the room as clean and free of objects as possible before the painter arrives. Although a professional painter will ensure that floors are covered, skirting boards and light switches are taped over, the client should carefully clear the room of any items that may obstruct access to all walls before the painter arrives. 

Before our partner painter arrives, all you need to do is clean up and prepare the space a bit. If you choose an option where the painter prepares and covers everything needed, there is no need to overdo it. Of course, it is necessary to empty the sliding furniture anyway, for example, to put books on the shelves and take clothes out of the wardrobe.

If the price does not include moving or covering the furniture, it is expected that the space will already be covered with foil, will also be almost empty or the furniture will be ready in the middle of the room for easier access of the painter to the walls.

Seamless progress of painting and eventual cleaning:

Make sure that the painter will have sufficient access to suitable lighting and also to water (for cleaning up after painting). This will ensure optimum working conditions for the painter and lead to a job well done.


Choice of quality paint and materials:

Be mindful of the quality and individual needs of the space when selecting paint and painting materials. Investing in quality materials has an impact on the durability and aesthetics of the final paint. The painter can advise you on this point, or you can leave the decision entirely in the hands of a professional. However, it is always important to consider the absorbency of the walls, excessive humidity in the room or, for example, slight unevenness in older rooms.


Arrangements with the painter:

In order to ensure that the whole event runs as smoothly as possible, it's a good idea to talk to the manager from Adam or the painter himself about everything that concerns your painting before the start and also to notify any changes in good time. Be as specific as possible about your vision for the space, but also listen to the advice of the professional in case of follow-up recommendations. It is advisable to quickly discuss who will be waiting at the painter's site, who will be present during the painting if necessary, or if you prefer to leave the keys to the painter and therefore do not want to be present during the actual painting.
