        "text": "Before painters arrive, clear all furniture, storage bins, and personal belongings at least four to five feet away from perimeter walls. Remove wall hangings, outlet faceplates, and switch covers if possible. If you plan to paint an exposed ceiling, items must be moved entirely out of the space or consolidated in the center and covered to protect against overspray. Additionally, check for signs of active moisture, leaks, or powdery white efflorescence on foundation walls, as these issues must be repaired and dried before painting begins.",
