Free house painter job description template

Every painter says they paint; the difference is in the prep and the care. A good painter job description puts the prep work first, says whether the work is interior, exterior or cabinets, and asks about spraying experience if you spray. That draws painters who take pride in clean lines and protected floors, not just speed.
