Many customers ask us here at Gallo Painting about painting around furniture while working with an interior house painter in Yorktown Heights. Most of the information we have seen about painting around furniture while working on your interior house painting project tells you to move all of the furniture to the center of the room. This really is not very helpful. Think about a bedroom or living room. If you move all of the furniture to the middle of the room, you have created a huge obstacle to paint around. Even with the proper extension pole for your paint roller, such an obstacle in the center of the room is hard to work around. It is hard to reach over this obstacle to paint the ceiling. This is one of the many reasons you should consider working with an experienced house painter in Yorktown Heights such as our staff at Gallo Painting.
We will move the furniture moved at least 2-3 feet away from the walls, but not all the way to the center of the rooms, as we recommend to our DIY customers.

If the budget is limited for improvements on a home the place to start is the expert Yorktown Heights house painters of Gallo Painting. While other amenities such as new appliances and granite counter tops are nice, they are also pricey. Painting is a simple and budget-friendly way to quickly add to the investment of your home.
Before hiring any house painter in Yorktown Heights you should walk through the area to be painted with them. During this inspection point out any paint that is in places where paint doesn’t belong. Look at all of the carpet, tile, or natural wood floor to find any paint spots. Frequently, paint can be found along the baseboards of the room. Also look for scratches on the wood or tile floor. Check wallpaper, counter tops, and any areas where there should not be any paint. Check all natural wood trim and doors for any paint. Look for spatters of paint on all of the floors.
As you inspect the area to be painted for any unwanted paint, also check the contents of the room. Look carefully at the furniture in the room to see if there are any cracks or cuts on any of it. Check for any flimsy or loose furniture which might be damaged or ready to fall apart, especially when moved. Sliding furniture across the carpet can buckle the carpet. Point out any “hills” in the carpet that already exist. Look at the decorations in the area to be painted. Inspect any knickknacks or other decorations for damage or cracks. Also note any cracked windows or cut screens. Believe it or not, the people living in the home to be painted may not even be aware of these things, they are easily overlooked.
