Interior Painting Checklist

PLANNING & PREP

• Decide which rooms/walls to paint

Choose paint color(s) and finish (e.g., eggshell, satin, semi-gloss)

• Calculate square footage and buy enough paint/primer

• Check for drywall damage, stains, or mold

• Remove furniture or move it to the center and cover with drop cloths

• Remove switch/outlet covers, curtain rods, and hardware

SURFACE PREP

• Clean walls with mild soap or degreaser (especially in kitchens)

• Fill nail holes, dents, and cracks with spackle or joint compound

• Sand patched areas smooth

• Spot prime or fully prime if needed (new drywall, dark colors, stains, etc.)

• Caulk around trim, windows, and doors if gaps are visible

TAPING & PROTECTION

• Lay down drop cloths to protect floors

• Tape off baseboards, window frames, trim, and adjacent walls if needed

• Ventilate the room (open windows or use fans)

PAINTING

• Stir paint thoroughly

• Use a brush to cut in along edges and corners

• Roll paint onto walls in “W” or “M” motion for even coverage

• Let the first coat dry completely (follow paint label)

• Apply second coat for solid, even finish

TRIM, DOORS & CEILINGS (If Applicable)

• Paint ceilings first (if included), using flat/matte paint

• Paint baseboards, crown molding, and door frames with a small brush or trim roller

• Paint doors last, allowing time to fully dry before closing

CLEANUP & TOUCH-UP

• Carefully remove painter’s tape before paint fully cures (prevents peeling)

• Clean brushes, rollers, and trays

• Replace outlet covers, curtain rods, and hardware

• Do final inspection and touch-ups

• Dispose of or store leftover paint properly

• Take after-photos if needed (for records or portfolio)
