Experienced Painter

We are hiring an experienced painter.

We need somebody who has done real residential repaint work and does it efficiently. Clean lines, proper prep, solid patching, and a pace that keeps a job moving. If you have been painting houses for years and you are good at it, we want to talk to you.

Who we are

27 Contracting is a family run Class A contractor based in Powhatan. We do repair and remodel work on existing homes, mostly small to mid sized jobs across Powhatan, Midlothian, Glen Allen and Chesterfield. Most of our work comes from realtors and repeat clients, which means the standard is high and the same people keep calling us back.

What the job actually looks like

Residential repaint, interior and exterior. You will work as part of a two person paint crew under our paint lead, who handles the scheduling, the paperwork and the final quality call. Your job is the work itself: prep it right, patch what needs patching, and lay down clean coverage at a pace that lets us make money on the job.

Day to day that means:

• Cutting clean lines and rolling efficiently
• Patching drywall confidently. Not just filling nail holes. We want somebody who can handle real patches, texture match, and hand it off ready to paint without anybody redoing it.
• Proper prep: taping, masking, covering, protecting floors and finishes
• Spraying when the job calls for it
• Treating the customer's home like it matters. Dust controlled, cleaned up every day, and being somebody a homeowner is comfortable having in their house. This one matters to us more than almost anything else.
• Being where you are supposed to be, when you are supposed to be there
• Logging your hours the same day

What you need to have

We supply all tools, sprayers and equipment out of the crew van. You bring yourself and your hands.

• Real residential repaint experience. Cutting, rolling, prep, the whole thing.
• Confident drywall patching and finishing
• Some spray experience
• Dedicated transportation to the job
• A professional appearance and manner. You are in somebody's house.

Schedule and where you work

You report straight to the job, not to a shop. We are usually at the customer's house by 9am.

Most of our work is in Powhatan, Midlothian, Glen Allen and Chesterfield. Once in a while we go further out, up to about an hour from Powhatan.

What we pay

$18 to $22 an hour to start, depending on what you walk in with.

At 90 days we sit down for a written review against a list of expectations you get on your first day. The review date goes in your offer letter, so it is a date on the calendar and not something you have to go asking about.

We will be straight with you about what we do not have yet: no health insurance, no 401k, no formal PTO policy today. Those are on the roadmap and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we do have is steady work and an owner who is on job sites every day.

Pay: $18.00 - $22.00 per hour

Work Location: In person

Salary : $18 - $22
