A Simple Checklist Before You Renovate or Repaint

Whether you are refreshing one room or renovating a whole floor, a little preparation makes the work smoother. Here is a short checklist to go through before the work begins.

  1. Define the goal. Decide what you want to change, and what is most important: appearance, function, or both.
  2. Inspect first. Check walls, ceilings and fittings for damp, cracks or damage. Repairs should come before paint or finishes.
  3. Plan the order of work. Messy jobs such as repairs and sanding come first, followed by painting and finishing touches.
  4. Protect the space. Cover furniture and floors, and make arrangements for access and ventilation.
  5. Set a realistic timeline. Allow time for drying, curing and unexpected delays.
  6. Choose reliable help. An experienced team will plan, work cleanly and finish on schedule.

Make it last. Good preparation and quality work mean the results hold up for years. That is the standard we aim for at Capital Building Maintenance Organization, from minor repairs to major renovations. Contact us for a personalized consultation on your next project.
