How to prepare a condo for painting
A well-prepared condo lets the crew work cleaner, faster, and with less disruption for neighbours.
Before the crew arrives
Remove fragile objects, artwork, light curtains, and small appliances. Heavy furniture can often be moved to the centre of rooms and protected by the crew.
Confirm building rules for elevators, loading access, parking, permitted hours, and corridor protection.
Surfaces and access
Point out repaired areas, old water issues, or dark colours that need coverage. These details affect primer and coat planning.
In bright condos, long walls reveal defects quickly. Preparation and sanding matter as much as colour.
After the work
Keep a labelled amount of paint for future touch-ups. Wait for full curing before washing walls or pushing furniture against fresh surfaces.

These guides are informational, but a real project always depends on surface condition, light, and how the room is used.
