A great paint job starts before the brushes come out—and a little prep can go a long way. At Bay Water Painting, we’ve been transforming homes and businesses across Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco counties since 2020, and we’ve got some insider tips to help you get ready. Whether it’s an interior refresh or an exterior overhaul, here are five ways to set the stage for a smooth, stress-free project with us.
1. Clear the Space
For interior jobs, move furniture away from walls and cover anything you can’t shift. Outside, clear patios or decks—think planters, grills, or toys. This gives us room to work on walls, doors, or pool decks without obstacles. Don’t worry about the heavy lifting; we’ll handle the rest.
2. Clean Surfaces
A quick wipe-down can make a big difference. Dust interior walls and baseboards, or rinse exterior soffits and chimneys if they’re grimy. Clean surfaces help paint stick better, and while we’ll do the final prep, a head start from you speeds things up.
3. Pick Your Colors
Have a shade in mind? Great! We’ll bring Sherwin Williams swatches to your free estimate (or use your preferred brand). Deciding early keeps the project on track—whether it’s a bold ceiling in Hillsborough or a classic fascia in Pasco.
4. Plan Timing
We’re flexible—winter’s ideal for exteriors to dodge rain, but interiors can happen anytime. Let us know your schedule, and we’ll make it work. A little planning ensures we’re painting your Pinellas condo or Pasco office when it suits you best.
5. Ask Questions
Our free estimate is your chance to get clarity. Wondering if we can tackle tricky baseboards or a commercial storefront? Just ask! We’ll walk you through the process and tailor our sprayer, brush, or roller approach to your needs.
Why It Matters
Prepping saves time and ensures a flawless finish. You set the stage, and we bring the expertise—years of skill honed from a helper role to running Bay Water Painting. Ready to get started? Call us for a free estimate and let’s make your space shine in Pinellas, Hillsborough, or Pasco counties!
