I have been painting since 2016 and have been preparing painting surfaces by washing walls, repairing holes, removing old paint, and applying paint to various surfaces. Preparing the surrounding area by covering it with cloth or plastic to prevent a smear and taping off areas as needed is part of my duty. Communicating with clients to ensure they're getting the look they're hoping for and also cleaning up supplies and replacing fixtures when the project is completed is also part of my duty.
