Room Preparation Before Painting

When you are prepared to paint a room in your house, you should follow these basic steps:
 

Remove what items you can including: screens, curtains, outlet plates, switch covers, hardware from windows and baseboards.
 

Cover what you can´t remove: fixed carpets, large pieces of furniture, etc. Make sure you have enough drop cloths to cover everything.
 

Repair any imperfections, holes or cracks.
 

Scrape and sand areas where paint is loose.
 

Sand the entire surface.
 

Wipe off all the sanding dust.
 

Spot prime any areas where you need to use spackle, or where you sanded through to bare drywall.

Now, you are ready to go ahead and paint.
