Whats the next step for your interior painting project

🎉 You're In. Welcome to the A New Leaf Family.

You just made one of the best investments you can make in your home — and we don’t take that lightly. For over 25 years, we’ve transformed more than 5,000 Jacksonville homes, and every single one started exactly where you are right now: excited, a little curious about what comes next, and ready for results you’ll love.

 

Here’s the truth: your hardest job is already done. You made the decision. From here, we take the wheel.

Your dedicated project manager will guide you through every step — from color confirmation to final walkthrough. Our background-checked, uniformed crew will treat your home like a sanctuary. And when we’re done, our Iron-Clad Guarantee means you love the result or your paint is 100% free.

 

Before we arrive, there’s one thing that makes all the difference:
🎨 Step 1 — Lock In Your Colors The fun part. Seriously.

Your colors are the heart of this project — they’re what you’ll wake up to every morning and what your guests will notice the moment they walk through the door. Getting them confirmed 3–5 days before your start date means we arrive on day one with everything ready to go. No delays. No surprises. Just a crew ready to bring your vision to life.

Interior House Painting To-Do List

🤝 Let's Set Your Project Up for Success

 

A few simple things before we arrive — that’s all we ask.

We handle everything on our end so you can focus on the exciting part — imagining what your home is going to look like when we’re done. These are the only things we need from you before day one, and most of them take less than ten minutes total.

🏠 Clear the Canvass - This only APPLIES to the areas we are working in.

Think of it like this — the less that’s in our way, the more time we spend painting and the less time we spend working around things.  In the rooms we’re painting, please remove:

 

  • Small and fragile objects
  • Wall art and decorations
  • Remove towels, rugs, and bathroom accessories if we’re painting bathrooms
  • Unplug and move electronics where you can — our crew can help with TVs if needed
  • Items from closets or bookshelves if we’re painting inside them

 

Our team takes care of everything else. Furniture, drop cloths, floor protection, masking — we’ve got it all covered from the moment we walk through your door.

🎨 Your Colors — Locked and Ready

Final color choices must be submitted 3–5 days before your project start date so we arrive on day one with everything ready to go — no delays, no last-minute scrambles.

If you won’t be home during work hours, no problem. We can set up a secure lockbox so your key is safely accessible to our crew. Most of our clients are completely comfortable with our team working inside — our background-checked, uniformed professionals treat your home with the same care they’d give their own.

Our crew needs both water and electricity throughout the project. Before we start, just let your Crew Leader know:

 

  • Which bathroom our team can use
  • The best spot to set up tools and equipment

That’s it. Simple.


Your crew will arrive between 7:30 and 8:30 AM on day one. If you have a preference on start time, just talk to your Crew Leader — we’re flexible. On occasion, work may run past 5:30 PM depending on where we are in the project, and we’ll always give you a heads up if that’s the case.

Life happens — we get it. If you need to make a significant change to the original scope, we’ll will put together a written change order before any additional work begins. No surprises, no assumptions — everything in writing.

From time to time, prior issues such as broken panes, overspray, or furniture damage may be overlooked during estimates. If our crew discovers any damage, they will document and notify you before beginning work in that area. Should you wish us to repair it, a change order will be provided. We take full responsibility for any accidental damage caused by our team.

During the project, you are welcome to leave notes for the crew if you cannot be present. A pre-final walkthrough will be scheduled the day before completion to review any corrections. On the last day, we ask that you be available for a final walkthrough with the Crew Leader to ensure everything meets your expectations. Please note that rescheduling may not be possible due to our work calendar.

  • ACH / electronic check — no additional charge
  • A receipt is provided once payment clears
