What happens here

Once all painted surfaces are completely dry, carefully remove all masking tape and paper. If necessary, use a utility knife to score the tape line before pulling to prevent any paint from peeling off the wall. Reinstall any fixtures that were removed, such as vents. Since the paint is dry, you can safely lean ladders against the walls as needed for reinstalling items or performing final checks. Conduct a thorough final clean-up of the work area, ensuring no paint drips or debris are left behind, leaving the stairwell fresh and newly painted.

Goal: Complete the painting project by cleaning up and returning the area to its original state.
