There are fewer and fewer homes being built with wooden exteriors and many of those that were have now been resurfaced with aluminum or vinyl siding; this means that the majority of the work the painter is called upon to do is interior. The majority of exterior painting is dedicated to fences as well as staining wooden decks and patios. Depending on the size of the San Antonio painting task it may entail the use of multiple people working on the job simultaneously.
It is quite obvious that one of the benefits of hiring a professional San Antonio painting contractor is that the homeowner will not have to do the work himself.

Often painting means that the painter has to work at heights, this always poses a danger and the potential of injury. When you decide to hire a professional painter make sure that he has workers comp insurance for his employees and liability insurance in the event there is any damage to your home while the work is going on.
Most residential painters start their career as an apprentice, working alongside experienced personnel who have many years in the business. Some will gain their knowledge and skills by attending vocational training courses.
