    Most painters will do these things, but you can set your house up in advance by doing things such as taking everything down off the walls, moving any furniture that might be in the way, and removing outlet covers and switch plates. If possible, allow an area for the painter to stage his paint and equipment. Don't forget the pets. Make sure they out of way of the painter.
