Now that you have everything you need,
you’re ready to start the process.
Take everything off the walls and ceilings. That’s right everything. Pictures must come off the walls. Ceiling fans, track lighting, and vent covers all need to come down. Take all plants, animals, and children out of the room.

We recommend putting quilts or blankets over your fine furniture, and then you can start putting the plastic up.
Start taping the plastic sheeting right at the ceiling line and drape it all the way to the floor. Always overlap each subsequent panel of plastic, and then go back and tape over the seams of each panel of plastic. Line any pathways/hallways between the room you’re working on and rooms you will need access to with plastic sheeting.
Think about access to your bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. If any of that popcorn ceiling sludge (which will collect on your legs and shoes) gets on the floor, you’ll be spending many hours trying to get it off... and possibly end up with a professional carpet cleaning bill. |
