Classification
Summary
Residential painters perform painting work on house exterior walls, interior walls, roofs, etc., improving the aesthetics and durability of buildings.
Description
Residential painters start with preparations such as scaffolding assembly and disassembly, wearing safety equipment, cleaning and rust removal of the base, and applying sealer for surface preparation. Then, they apply paint using rollers, brushes, or spray guns to finish exterior walls, roofs, interior walls, and ceilings. Important tasks include paint mixing and selection based on performance, managing drying times, considering weather conditions, and safety and health management. They conduct discussions with customers, create construction plans, collaborate with other trades (such as carpenters and waterproofing contractors), and manage quality and schedules.
