Description of duties 

Being a professional painter is so much more than just applying paint to a wall, painters apply paint to residential and commercial structures, but they also complete a wide range of physical, organizational, problem-solving, and creative tasks on any given day.

No two days are the same for a painter. You may start the week on an exterior painting project, and by Friday, you’re putting the finishing touches on a new construction building. Maybe it’s a messy Monday scraping and repairing walls in an older repaint, or it could be a more physical Thursday of setting up scaffolding and hauling paint through an apartment for a suite turnover.

Let’s peek into a typical day in the life of a professional painter:

Travel to the job site with paint, tools and other equipment.

Carefully cover and protect the flooring and furniture.

Work with the team to set up and position ladders.

Fill nail holes and repair cracks with fillers.

Sand, clean and prime the walls.

Mix paint and prepare the rollers or sprayers.

Cut in wall edging and corners with a paintbrush.

Caulk and paint the trim, moldings and woodwork.

Tape off the trim and apply coats of paint to the walls.

Step back to enjoy the transformative power of a beautiful paint job!

Clean the job site and equipment at the end of the workday.
