  1. Clear small items and wall hangings from rooms to be painted if you can.
  2. Keep children and pets away from ladders and wet paint.
  3. If the building may have old lead paint, do not dry-sand it yourself — ask about HSE-aligned methods.
  4. Photograph the rooms or elevations you want painted.
  5. Send the request form.
  6. Contact your landlord or strata/HOA if approval is needed for colour changes.
