When to Paint a New Home: Before or After Move-in?

Ultimately, either way can work! Certainly, it will be logistically easier to paint your new home when it’s empty, avoiding the need to move furniture and other belongings to the center of each room.

However, if your timeline doesn’t allow you to wait for painting to happen prior to moving in, our professionals can accommodate. We always use drop cloths to protect floors, plus place plastic covers over any belongings that are in your space when we come to paint. 

We recognize that these are crucial preparatory steps for professional and consistently beautiful painting, along with:
​

• Filling in nail holes
• Caulking gaps
• Palm sanding rough areas
• Priming walls for painting

Only after completing these tasks do we apply premium paint in the color of your choice, adding as many coats as our experts deem necessary for the optimal look.
