Painting is not a task that can be completed in a few hours on the weekend. It requires more time, effort and focus than many people are willing to invest.
It’s important to have a plan before you start painting so you don’t waste any time or money or make any unnecessary mistakes. For example, if paint is expensive where you live, it may be worth waiting until there is a sale on the type of paint that you need.

- Next carefully remove any furniture or fixtures.Â
- Lay down drop cloths or tarps to protect surfaces from getting dirty or damaged during the process.
- Then tape off walls with professional painters’ tape so you don’t get paint on them when doing trim work and other detail work.

It may be tedious but preparation is necessary!
Make preparations
Paint is an essential part of painting, but it is not the only thing that you will need. And to be honest, it’s not even the most important thing. To achieve professional results, you need to prime the walls first.
Prime-priming your walls before painting can help seal any irregularities or cracks in your wall’s surface and provide a much smoother surface for paint to adhere. It also seals out any moisture and ensures better adhesion for polyurethane or latex paints because prime-priming creates a complete bond between the paint and your wall.
Priming makes applying paint easier and reduces imperfections in the final finish of your walls.
