Job description

Just Finished School or Starting Your Career? Want a Skill That Actually Pays Off?

If you’re early in your career and thinking “I don’t just want a job — I want to build something I can get good at”… this is for you.

We’re a local painting company adding a Wallpaper Apprentice to our team — and this is one of those rare chances to step into a skilled trade where you actually learn something valuable, hands-on, from day one.

At LuxBrush Painting Company, we don’t just hire workers — we train craftspeople.

So what is this really?

Ever looked at high-end interiors and thought:

• “How do they get wallpaper to look that perfect?”
• “Is that a real skill or just something people figure out?”
• “Could I learn something like that and actually build a career?”

That’s exactly what this role is.

You’ll start as an apprentice working side-by-side with experienced installers learning a trade most people never even get exposed to.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Working on real residential and commercial projects
• Learning wallpaper installation step-by-step
• Measuring, cutting, and pattern matching (this is the craft part)
• Prepping walls so finishes look flawless
• Using your painting/prep skills in high-end finish work
• Keeping job sites clean, organized, and professional
• Seeing your work instantly show up in real homes and businesses

This is hands‑on work — not sitting around watching someone else do it.

Who this is perfect for

This could be a great fit if you’re thinking:

• “I want to learn a real trade, not just bounce between jobs”
• “I like working with my hands and seeing results”
• “I don’t mind physical work if I’m learning something valuable”
• “I want a career path, not just a paycheck”

Painting, sanding, patching, or job site experience helps — but it’s not required.

We’ll teach you the wallpaper side if you bring the right attitude.

What matters most here

• Are you willing to learn something new?
• Do you care about doing detailed, quality work?
• Can you show up on time and be dependable?
• Do you take pride in what you build with your hands?

Skill can be taught. Work ethic can’t.

Why this is different

Most entry-level jobs feel like you’re just “helping out.”

This one is different.

You’re learning a specialized trade skill that can turn into:

• Advanced installer roles
• High‑end finish work
• Long‑term career in skilled trades

You’ll actually see your progress in real time — wall by wall, project by project.

What we’re looking for

• Some painting or prep experience is a plus
• Interest in wallpaper/finish carpentry style work
• Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
• Detail‑oriented mindset
• Dependable and punctual
• Comfortable with ladders and physical work
• Driver’s license preferred

Bottom line

If you want:

• A real skill
• Real hands‑on training
• And a career you can actually build on

…this is worth a conversation.
