Absolutely. That happens all the time, and many homeowners choose to go about their normal day while our painting crew is working. Sam the Painter crews typically work a standard 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule, so it is very common for customers to be at work, running errands, or handling other activities while we are painting. You don’t have to be present for the entire project, but you’re always welcome to stay home if that makes you more comfortable.
Before work begins, we make sure we understand how to access the home, which areas are included in the project, and any special instructions you’d like our team to follow. If you don’t plan on being home, it’s helpful to provide a reliable way for the crew to enter and secure the property, along with the best phone number to reach you during the day. That way, we have a question about a color, surface condition, or anything unexpected, we can contact you quickly and keep the project moving.
If you plan to leave, we ask that you remove personal items, valuables, fragile items, and important paperwork away from the work areas if possible. Although our crew takes utmost care to protect floors, furniture, fixtures, and objects in your home, clearing the space helps us work more efficiently and reduces the chance that something important could be damaged.
If you have pets, we recommend keeping them in a secure room away from the painting area or making other arrangements for the day. Paint supplies, ladders, open doors, and active work areas with unfamiliar people can be stressful or unsafe for pets.
At the end of each day, the crew will clean up the immediate work area, put materials in an appropriate place, and make sure the home is left secure based on the instructions you provide. Depending on the project, some areas may need to remain taped off, covered, or undisturbed while paint dries. Our crew will provide detailed instructions and let you know what to expect before you walk back into the space.
If you have questions or want to check progress, we’re more than happy to communicate with you throughout the job.
The best time to schedule a professional painter is before the project becomes urgent. A few weeks of lead time allows the painter to work you into their schedule and allows for flexibility due to unforeseen circumstances. If your dates are firm, contact a trusted local painting company as early as possible.
