Commercial Painter/Wall Cover Apprentice
Commercial Painters apply decorative and protective finishes. They prepare a variety of surfaces (wood, masonry, drywall, plaster, concrete, synthetics, stucco, and metal) prior to the application of materials such as paint, high performance coatings, waterproofing, fireproofing, varnish, shellac, wall coverings, and special decorative finishes. Commercial Painters are employed by construction companies, painting contractors, or building maintenance contractors. They work on projects such as building interiors, exteriors, residential high rises, and wall covering work. Some painters work for years on a single site; others may work for contractors that rarely work on the same site more than once.
