Painter Prep and Care Instructions
Turns the painter's job notes into a clear sheet for the homeowner with two parts: what to do before the crew arrives, and how to care for the new paint afterward.
Before and after
Hello Silvia Horvat,
Thank you for choosing Slatehaven Painting. Here is everything you need to know for your living room, hallway, and kitchen at 3581 Ravenhaven St, Ferndale. We start Monday the 14th and expect to finish Wednesday the 16th.
Before we arrive (please finish by Sunday night)
- Move the sofa and the bookshelf out of the living room.
- Take down all the pictures and the curtains.
- Clear the kitchen counters.
- Leave the driveway open for our sprayer trailer.
While we work
- Please keep Pickle Noodle in the bedroom with the door shut. We will prop the front door for the crew, so this keeps her safe indoors.
- We will patch the nail holes and the crack over the kitchen window before painting, as you approved.
After we finish
- Walls and trim will be dry to the touch in about an hour.
- Furniture can go back after 3 days.
- Please wait 2 weeks before hanging pictures or scrubbing the walls.
Care tips
- For the first month, clean with a soft damp cloth only.
- We used Benjamin Moore Regal Select, eggshell on the walls and semi-gloss on the trim.
- Touch-up paint is labeled and stored in your garage, color Pale Oak.

Questions for the owner
- Is the front door the only door being propped, or are other doors open too?
- What time does the crew arrive each morning?
- Should the customer cover or move anything else in the hallway or kitchen, such as rugs or small appliances?
- Do you want to give a timing for when the customer can wash the trim, separate from the walls?
What it does
Turns the painter's job notes into a clear sheet for the homeowner with two parts: what to do before the crew arrives, and how to care for the new paint afterward. It uses only the dates, products, and timings the painter gives.
Use it when: Use when a painting business needs to write prep and care instructions for a customer before or after a paint job, such as: "what do I tell the customer to do before we start," "write up the care instructions," "how long before they can wash the walls," or "send the homeowner the prep sheet."
