Job description

Pay: $21.38 to $26.04 an hour, depending on skill. We are hiring at Apprentice, Painter I and Painter II. Your starting rung is set by a written and hands-on test, not by years.

About us

Wyatt & Sons Painting is a residential and commercial painting and maintenance company in Tacoma. Our crew are employees, not subs, and we pay their full medical, dental and vision. We promote from within, and every pay rate in the company is open to the crew.

The job

That means prep, masking, caulking, priming, brushing, rolling and spraying, plus washing, gutters and roof treatment on some jobs. You'll work on a small crew and leave every job cleaner than you found it.

How pay works here

Wages follow a ladder, with each rung set as a share of the Pierce County union journeyman rate. You move up by passing our skill tests (46 written standards, each with a timed test) and by showing up ready to work. Skill and reliability move your pay, not tenure.
