Re: Becoming A Painting Contractor
Contact your local painter's union.
Or get hired on by a painting company as an apprentice, and learn from the bottom up. |

Re: Becoming A Painting Contractor
Where I am requires 5 yrs. of experience with 2 yrs. in management (combined) or you can just take the exam. A dentist that studies a bit could pass the exam.

Re: Becoming A Painting Contractor
If you want to be "in the bucket" then learn how to paint from someone with lots of experience.
If you want to be "out of the bucket", i.e., a business owner, learn how to run a business. The details vary from business to business, but the essentials are the same. For example, know your numbers (how to price your services), know how to market, know how to deliver what you promise, etc. Brian Phillips |
