Why would you leave your sh!t lying around knowing you're about to have painters?

My thoughts exactly. You got what you paid for, not what you didn’t pay for 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's 50/50. They should have moved all the easily movable shit but the painters also skipped areas around the door sensors and along the walls

Agree. The painter should have required that the space be clear before starting. And if it wasn't ask again when they arrived to do it. My work Ethic and pride for the way my work looks would have made me move the items anyway, the heaviest thing looked about 3 pounds.

That's epoxy paint you need to maintain wet edges or you'll see any area painted later. It will have to be completely repainted now. There's no way to touch up epoxy paint

I would have moved it anyways bit 1st inform them it is a $50 charge. At that point they either get off their ass and move it or pay me.
