I'm a handyman/painter in Sarasota, Fl. This is great, as usual. I have great clients who are not feeling the pinch of the economy. Working for people that I have known for 15-20 years who are painting rooms just to change the color. It's a nice gig. At 49, I could not have imagined that we would be making the wage that we are now, adjusted for inflation. It's great and if you can keep your body in shape, it can be done well past 60.

Excellent advice Jeff. I a week ago I called a painter for a quote. I took off work early so I was home 30 min before the appointment. The time he was supposed to be there he called and I'm 30 minutes late. Fine (not really). 45 minutes later I texted him and said, "Don't waste your time, I don't trust you to show up on time I'm not giving you my business,' Ten minutes later he showed up!! I wish young people would learn, that you show up early, are respectful, with a smile on your face, and 100% of the time you'd probably get the job.

I'd show up at 6am and this guy would arrive 2 hours later. he did this for about a week until another foreman showed up. I think it was because he was primarily a sprayer and only 2 guys in the company sprayed, so he knew they wouldn't fire him.

I’d love to get your insight
@dougwilmsmeyer78232 жыл бұрын
If you're talking about using the lumber for an outdoor project (like a deck), it will not last because the polyurethane is not likely to be UV resistant. It will first cloud up, then some of it will separate from the wood and chip off. Even spar or marine-grade polyurethanes have their limits, especially on horizontal surfaces exposed to sunlight and rain. If you're talking about just storing the lumber outside for a while, you are better off using a tarp because that will let the wood breathe. Sealing up the wood with poly will lock in the moisture, and that may be a bad thing when a hard freeze comes along.

From experience staining decks: Make absolutely sure you know what is underneath the deck before you start applying stain onto the deck boards… If there are gaps between the wood and there's a beautiful set of patio furniture underneath, you may drip penetrating stain with colorant all over the patio furniture and the deck below, and it will be your fault. Use plastic or drop cloths below the deck if there is something valuable underneath.

big fan of your channel but i have to disagree with you on this title not as easy as you make it sound like but it was good content to kill some time lol i been painting for 10 years and the past few years i had to quit painting and get into flooring because there is no money in painting
@NunYaaBizz2 жыл бұрын
There's definitely money in painting but for sure not with the general population. You gotta break into a certain market I find the profitable paint jobs will come from real estate agents, property management companies and wealthy home owners. I agree if you hand out flyers most people that call you will probably be cheap and you'll make nothing

there is money in everything. You just need to be in the right market to get paid. Cheers!

Painting companions pay painters 15 to 25 per hour per employee. Average. You won't see painting companies go above 30 because the Bottom line is painters make less today than 24 years ago. I made 23 an hour 20 years ago and a house cost 160 k in California. Now a painter makes the same 23 an hour and that same house is 1000000. Rents have tripled since then. The days of affordable housing on today's wages is a travisty in America. Rich are getting greedier and the working class are slaves.
