Wyatt & Sons Painting Painter Tacoma, WA · Full time Company website

Apply for Painter

With 30 years in the painting trade, we built Wyatt & Sons as a legacy for our children - a company where our kids and others can learn and grow in the trades. We are a family-owned commercial and residential painting company in the South Sound, doing most of our work in Tacoma and Pierce County and also serving King County. We focus on interior and exterior painting and ongoing maintenance, and every job is done by our own employed crews - not subcontractors.

Pay: $21.38 to $26.04 an hour, depending on skill. We are hiring at Apprentice, Painter I and Painter II. Your starting rung is set by a written and hands-on test, not by years.

About us

Wyatt & Sons Painting is a residential and commercial painting and maintenance company in Tacoma. Our crew are employees, not subs, and we pay their full medical, dental and vision. We promote from within, and every pay rate in the company is open to the crew.

The job

Interior and exterior repaints on homes and commercial buildings within about an hour of Tacoma. That means prep, masking, caulking, priming, brushing, rolling and spraying, plus washing, gutters and roof treatment on some jobs. You'll work on a small crew and leave every job cleaner than you found it.

How pay works here

Wages follow a ladder, with each rung set as a share of the Pierce County union journeyman rate. You move up by passing our skill tests (46 written standards, each with a timed test) and by showing up ready to work. Skill and reliability move your pay, not tenure.

• Painter I: $23.45
• Painter II: $26.04

Schedule

Full-time. Most jobs run 7:00 to 3:30 or 8:00 to 4:30, Monday to Friday. As we take on more commercial work, some jobs run nights or weekends; those hours pay your regular rate, with overtime at time and a half. On time here means clocked in and ready 5 minutes before start.
