Interior Painting Preparation & Jobsite Protection in Arlington Heights & Nearby Areas
Clean Work. Proper Setup. Professional Results That Last
A quality paint job doesn’t start with a brush—it starts with how the jobsite is prepared. At A Plus Decorating Inc., we treat your home with discipline and respect from day one. The difference is in the setup, protection, and preparation—not shortcuts.
Jobsite Setup: Protecting Your Home from the Start
Before any sanding or painting begins, we properly prepare the entire space.
Our Setup Process Includes:
- Protecting furniture with plastic sheeting
- Building containment areas to isolate work zones
- Covering cabinets, countertops, and fixtures
- Removing or masking switch plates, vents, and hardware
- Sealing off adjacent rooms to limit dust spread
This is the standard—not an upgrade.
Hardwood Floor Protection with Masonite Sheets
Hardwood floors require real protection—not just drop cloths.
Why We Use Masonite:
- Rigid barrier against dents, scratches, and tool damage
- Safe surface for ladders and foot traffic
- Prevents spills from reaching the floor
- Keeps your flooring protected throughout the project
Your floors are an investment. We treat them that way.
Surface Preparation: Where Quality Begins
Preparation is where most contractors fall short—and where results are decided.
Our Wall Preparation Process:
- Sand all surfaces for proper adhesion
- Repair cracks, nail pops, and surface damage
- Patch and blend all repairs into surrounding areas
- Caulk gaps along trim and joints
- Spot prime all repaired areas as needed
We don’t just make it look better—we make it right.
Dust Containment System: Clean & Controlled Work
Dust control is not optional in a professional job.
Our Dust Control System:
- Festool drywall sanders with built-in dust extraction
- HEPA vacuum systems connected to sanding equipment
- Daily vacuuming of all work areas
- Containment barriers to reduce dust spread
This keeps your home cleaner, safer, and more comfortable during the project.
Masking & Protection: Clean Lines, No Mess
Sharp lines and a professional finish come from proper masking.
What We Protect:
- Trim, baseboards, and door frames
- Windows, glass, and fixtures
- Cabinets, countertops, and appliances
- Floors and adjacent surfaces
No overspray. No sloppy edges. No guesswork.
Daily Cleanup & Jobsite Maintenance
We maintain the jobsite every single day—not just at the end.
Our Daily Routine:
- HEPA vacuuming at the end of each day
- Organized tools and materials
- Removal of debris and dust buildup
- Safe, clean working conditions maintained throughout
A clean jobsite reflects disciplined workmanship.
Why This Process Matters
Skipping proper setup leads to:
- Dust throughout the home
- Damaged floors and surfaces
- Poor paint adhesion and uneven finish
- Visible imperfections after painting
Doing it right from the start prevents these problems.
