ROVING PAINTERS & PAINTER'S ASSISTANTS

Whether you're looking to learn the painting trade and build hands-on experience or you're an experienced professional who can independently deliver high-quality finishes, we want to hear from you.
Our painting team supports multifamily apartment communities throughout the Orange County and Long Beach region, completing projects ranging from apartment turnovers and touch-ups to occupied-unit repairs and larger property improvement and renovation projects.
We're looking for people who take pride in doing things right, pay attention to the details, work well with others, and are comfortable using technology to stay connected, manage assigned work, and document job progress throughout the day.
