RESIDENTIAL PAINTER
Professional Summary

i'm a painter by trade so to speak, with a backround in building houses and apts. I have a good amount of knowledge with just about all basic hand tools an power tools related to carpentry work. I am pretty confident in my ability to figure problems out relateing to my task at hand. As a painter i have been in leadership/supervisor roles. In framing i have been accepted as a leadership person to ask for assistance or opinion if the crew leader is bussy.

I have a great work ethic. i show up to work everyday and on time. i do ask lots of question about things i dont understand or know about because i like to learn new things. And not just learn them but get a full understanding of why things are done in a certain manner so i will have a better understanding for next time it comes up.

Everything i do i excell at quickly and tyend to move up fairly quick. I believe i am a pretty smart individual and take to new task quicker then ur average employee. i take great pride in my workmanship and getting a quality job done. i try to do things the right way the first time.
