What order should i do this in...paint ceiling, walls, rip up rug, refinish and varnish floors, paint trim.?

for my kids room. don't know which order would make most sense. if i paint first i don't need a drop cloth. if i finish the hardwood floor first the finish might be scratched up during painting. i can't decide.What order should i do this in...paint ceiling, walls, rip up rug, refinish and varnish floors, paint trim.?
I would pull the trim off and paint the walls and ceiling. Then I would stain my trim and while it was drying in a different room I would rip up the floor. If the floor was a really dirty messy job I would do it first. Most likely though if you were re-doing a hardwood floor you would use a heavy duty stripper which would reduce the amount of sanding required. If that is the case do the floor first and use some heavy duty paint covers while you are painting.What order should i do this in...paint ceiling, walls, rip up rug, refinish and varnish floors, paint trim.?
how about, rip up rug cuz u dont wanna get it dirty,paint ceiling,walls,paint trim, and the then the floors
paint ceiling, walls, trim. rip up rug. refinish and varnish floors. Spot paint walls and lower trim that got dinged or smudged from ripping up the carpet.
Short answer. Anything that can drip on the floor, paint, Spackle, etc, do first. Then pull the rug.
you have thecorrect order
This debate comes around every time we do remodeling, and there are different schools of thought. The floor guy wants to be last, and so does the painter. If you are doing the work yourself, only you can decide.





It is not that hard to cover a new floor and avoid damaging it during painting. You do have to be careful with ladders. On the other hand, it's very likely that walls and trim will get dinged when the floors are refinished. The dings can be touched up, but...





So I prefer doing the floors last. It's a coin toss in most cases.
HI!


Paint the ceiling


then the walls


then the trim


then pull the rug and work on the floors!





then let them loose!!!!!! :)
Paint the ceiling, paint walls, rip up rug, refinish floors,paint trim
paint the ceiling, then walls, then trim, then pull up the rug, and varnish and refinish the floors, that would be a perfect order.
leave the carpet last so you dont spill any paint on your new rug or tile. then refinish and leave the paint last.





hope this helps.
paint ceiling and walls let dry completely then rip up rug and refinish floors let dry completely then paint trim.
The orders listed above are good, although I would rip up the carpet before doing the trim. That way you'll get it painted all the way down to the edge of the floor. Just use some blue painter's tape to tape off the floor.





After you refinish the floors, you can do spot painting on any dings you may have gotten in the process.
i would paint ceilings,paint walls,paint trim,rip up the rug and then refinish and varnish floor..sounds like a plan to me
I've done a similar project (but no trim painting as it was virgin cypress). First, rip the carpet up. Sand the wood work. Then clean the woodwork, walls and ceiling. Float any cracks, holes, etc. Prime, get primer shaken at paint store. Paint ( I prefer Sherwin Williams Everclean paint, flat). Get a good roller, no cheapo as the cheap ones break easily. Get a good roller for the paint. Get a disposable roller for the primer if you use oil based primer. And whichever rollers you get, using masking tape, roll the tape around the roller. Press it in, rip it off, repeat 5x to get all the fuzzies out. Get a paint tray and disposable liners. I prefer a latter that has a good tray to put the paint tray on. Get good canvas drop clothes, especially if you ever plan on painting again.


Prime then lightly sand the wood work. Then wipe down again. And then paint it.


Then do the floor. Use a good shop vac (Rigid, Home Depot brand) to vacum ceiling, woodwork, walls and floor after sanding.


And have fun!
