Small Things to do That Make a Big Difference While Your Home Is Being Painted

When you're having your home professionally painted, it's the perfect opportunity to take care of those little projects that are usually difficult to reach or easy to put off. Since furniture is already being moved, ladders are already out, and rooms are being prepared, you can save yourself time and hassle by tackling several maintenance items at the same time.

At RPR Contractors, we're happy to help with many of these tasks—especially if climbing ladders or moving heavy furniture isn't as easy as it used to be.

Great Projects to Do While Your House Is Being Painted

💡 Replace Ceiling Fan & High Light Bulbs

Those hard-to-reach bulbs over stairways, vaulted ceilings, or ceiling fans often get forgotten until they burn out. While we're already working from ladders, it's an ideal time to replace them.

🪟 Clean Windows, Window Sills & Tracks

Fresh paint deserves clean windows! Dust, pollen, cobwebs, and dirt often collect in window tracks and on upper sills. Cleaning them while rooms are being painted helps complete the fresh look.

🪟 Wash Drapes or Clean Blinds.(Homeowner)

If you've ever taken your drapes down intending to wash them "someday," now is the time. Painting is much easier with window treatments removed, making it a perfect opportunity for cleaning.

🧹 Clean Behind Heavy Appliances

When was the last time you looked behind your refrigerator or stove?

Removing years of dust, pet hair, and debris can:

• Improve appliance efficiency

• Reduce odors

• Eliminate hiding places for insects

• Make your kitchen healthier overall

💡 Clean Light Fixtures & Glass Globes

Here's one people always laugh about...

Many glass light globes collect dust—and yes, sometimes a few unfortunate dead bugs over the years! 😄

Cleaning them lets your light shine brighter and makes the entire room feel cleaner after the painting is complete.

🖼️ Dust High Shelves & Wall Decor

While ladders are already in use, it's easy to dust:

• Plant shelves

• Crown molding

• Picture frames

• Wall décor

• Ceiling corners

• Smoke detector covers

🔋 Change Smoke Detector Batteries

It's an inexpensive task that's easy to forget until the detector starts chirping in the middle of the night.

🛠️ Take Care of Minor Repairs

Painting is also the perfect time to:

• Repair drywall damage

• Fill nail holes

• Caulk gaps around trim

• Tighten loose door hardware

• Touch up trim that may need extra attention

We Don't Mind Helping

Many of our customers are busy, have mobility limitations, or simply don't enjoy climbing ladders. If it's something simple that can be done while we're already there, just ask!

At RPR Contractors, we believe customer service goes beyond applying paint. We're always looking for small ways to make your project easier and leave your home looking its absolute best.

Sometimes it's the little details that homeowners remember most.
