The biggest action you can take to help is to remove as many items from the area as possible. Small furniture, TVs, artwork, shelving, knick-knacks, picture frames, lamps, area rugs, electronics, toys, and pet bedding can all go. Especially any valuables or fragile belongings.
Cumbersome large furniture can stay;
it will be protected and slid around as needed. Vacuuming or dusting is a nice touch but not necessary. Please do not use cleaning chemicals on any surfaces. Often the chemicals repel the fresh paint which is a huge problem.

It’s likely there are many dents or nail holes in your walls. No problem! Minor patching is included in your Very Free™ quote. Any holes you want patched, leave them empty. Any nails or screws you’d like to keep, leave them in the wall.
It’s my preference to remove curtains, blinds, and related hardware. This is not always possible or recommended.
We can decide together what is the best choice
for your situation.
Let me know if you have a utility sink or other preferred sink I can use for rinsing tools. Also inform me if you have other contractors coming to perform other work. With proper planning and communication we can avoid any delays or complications.
Lastly, keep children and pets clear of the area;
their curiosity is good but can also be dangerous.
