The Painting Checklist on the Crew App: Prep, Coats, Cleanup and Touch-Ups
Every painting company has a way it wants jobs done. The checklist makes that way the default for every crew on every job.
The Steps
- Walk-through and colors confirmed with the customer
- Floors and furniture covered, edges masked
- Furniture moved (interior jobs)
- Holes and cracks patched, sanded, caulked, primed: only the prep the job calls for
- Cut-in done
- First coat, second coat, and a third when sold
- Trim and doors painted
- Cleanup: tape, plastic and drop cloths out
- Touch-ups done
- Final walk-through with the customer
Readings
The painter records coats applied, gallons used and the colors on the walls.
