HOW TO BE A LICENSED PAINTER Tom Sawyer Painting ARLINGTON MA - BELMONT MA - CAMBRIDGE MA - LEXINGTON MA
1# HOUSE PAINTER JOB DESCRIPTION House painters and contractors do more than just make the house look more attractive. The painter removes the exit cover and other fixtures during the painting process, then replaces them, and sands and scratches the surface to remove the old paint. The painter uses plaster or putty to repair cracks and uses primers and other coating materials to protect the walls and ceiling surfaces. Professional house painters also take care of the furniture and use protective tape to control dripping.
2# EDUCATION AND TRAINING House painters and contractors do not have formal educational standards. A young person interested in painting rooms will find blueprint reading and store courses, and it is helpful to teach the use of measurement techniques and basic tools. Some house painters started with help. They start with simple tasks and are given more complex responsibilities as their skills develop.
3# LICENSING AND CERTIFICATION The country's requirements for painting licenses vary widely. In Arizona, a house painter or contractor must have two years of proven work experience. Payroll is a good way to prove work experience. Texas does not have a permit requirement, but does require the painter to take responsibility insurance. Some states have signed a permit exam and may require a painter to sign up. Some local governments also need a business license.
4# HOUSE PAINTER CAREER PROSPECTS The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that demand for house painters and contractors will increase by 7% from 2014 to 2024. This is roughly equivalent to the average of employment growth. Painters are needed because of the relatively short life span of house paints and the periodic changes in color trends. As of May 2016, house painters and contractors had an average income of $37,570.
