CRITICAL EXPERIENCE WARNING — READ BEFORE APPLYING:
You MUST have experience working on a dedicated residential repaint or custom home crew.
WHAT DOES NOT COUNT: Apartment turns/unit repaints, house flipping/rehabs, maintenance painting, handyman work, or general remodeling.
WHAT COUNTS: 1+ years of daily fine-finish surface prep, masking, sharp cut lines, smooth rolling, and airless spraying for clients who demand perfection.
If your resume only lists apartment painting, rehabs, or handyman work, your application will be automatically rejected.
Why Paint With The Picky Painters?
We specialize in high-end residential repaints and custom new builds. We don't do sloppy, "blow-and-go" production or cheap rental turns.
We pay a solid base rate based on your actual skill level ($15–$18/hr for helpers/entry, up to $25–$30/hr for senior finish pros), PLUS an uncapped efficiency bonus on every job. If you and your crew finish a project under the budgeted hours while maintaining our high quality standards, the labor savings go straight into your paycheck.
What We Expect from You
- Fine-Finish Skills: Real surface prep, sharp brush lines, clean rolling, and airless spray capability (for top-pay brackets).
- Speed & Detail: Knowing how to move fast without making sloppy messes or cutting quality corners.
- Logistics: Your own reliable personal vehicle, valid driver’s license, and a smartphone.
- Strict Site Rules: 100% drug-free and smoke/vape-free job sites.
What You Get
- True W2 Payroll: Weekly direct deposit. NO cash, NO 1099 runarounds.
- Uncapped Bonus Engine: Earn significantly more than your base rate on fast, clean jobs.
- Overtime & Benefits: Time-and-a-half past 40 hours, Earned Paid Time Off, and $100/mo Healthcare Reimbursement after 90 days.
