What types of painting services do you offer?

What is a collective painter?
The Craftsman Painter Collective is a group of independent painters who own and operate their own painting company. As a collective, we vet and qualify painters who hold themselves to the highest degree of quality and service. Collective member crews are comprised of both W2 and contract employees and must carry current state licenses, general liability insurance and workers compensation according to state laws.
What advantage is there to working with a collective?
Working with a collective is just like working with a typical painting company, with a couple of key differences. First, working with a member of the collective gives you direct access to independent paint crews without having to go through the heavy markup of a contractor salesman. Second, the collective vets our members for quality and customer service. Third, collective members tend to collaborate with each other to ensure that you get the right person for the job and in a time frame that works for you.
