Custom Home Painter (New Construction)

Are you a highly skilled new construction painter who is tired of the sloppy, blow-and-go mentality of production builds? Do you know how to execute high-end finishes on custom homes while maintaining serious speed? At The Picky Painters, we specialize in high-quality custom home builds. We need experienced painters who know how to work fast without sacrificing the details. If you are currently working on production homes where speed is the only thing that matters, this is NOT the job for you. But if you have real custom home experience, we have an uncapped profit-sharing and bonus structure that will pay you significantly more than a standard hourly rate. HOW OUR UNCAPPED BONUS STRUCTURE WORKS We bid our new construction jobs with a built-in buffer to reward efficiency. Every custom home is assigned a set number of budgeted hours based on what we plan on spending for labor. If you and your crew finish the job under budget while maintaining our high quality standards, the labor savings go straight into your pockets. Because new construction work is wide open—no furniture to move, no homeowners to work around, and clean job sites—an experienced painter can fly through these jobs and rack up huge time savings. Real-World Example: Let's say a custom home is budgeted for 100 hours of labor. Our planned labor cost for the project is $26/hr. If your crew's actual cost (base pay + taxes) averages around $22.50/hr, that $3.50/hr difference builds up as a bonus pool just for finishing on time. But the real money is in finishing early. If your crew finishes 20% faster (in 80 hours) with no quality issues, you don't just get to go home early—you get paid for the 20 hours you saved at the full $26/hr rate. If your base pay is $20/hr, finishing that 100-hour job in 80 hours means you earn an extra $8.00 per hour for the time you worked. That bumps your effective pay to over $28.00 per hour! (Note: We deduct 18% from the gross bonus to cover payroll taxes, but the rest is yours). The bonuses are split based on the hours each employee worked on the project. There is no cap. The faster and better you work, the more you make. WHY JOIN THE PICKY PAINTERS? We are a growing company that invests in our people.
