Painting & Decorating
Painting, by its simplest definition, is the process of applying a material to various surfaces for the purpose of protection, sanitation or decoration. The surface may be wood, metal, masonry or other composition, and may be interior or exterior. Structures may vary from small houses to enormous industrial facilities, structural bridges or high towers.
Apprentices may participate in the following activities: wood finishing, print reading, erecting ladders and scaffolding, spray painting, abrasive and water floating, color mixing and matching, drywall taping, finishing and texturing, applying special coatings and special decorative finishes, hanging wall coverings, health and safety practices, lead abatement certification, and management and communication skills.
