Shortage of Skilled Painters


A shortage of skilled painters has been a concern for more than a year, and now predictions are that there may be further shortages in the future, since apprenticeships may be affected by continued economic uncertainty.

What does this mean for householders? Simply that it is more important than ever to be certain that your painters are skillful. Some painting companies will resort to hiring untrained workers because of the shortage, and the result for you can be a badly painted home -- or worse.

Correct training of painters covers issues such as safety and environmental responsibility as well as the all important quality of the paint job.

Courtney & Wise are members of the Master Painters Association, and have been for over half a century. We are active in training and education with the MPA. We're also Dulux Certified painters, Lead Paint Management Certified, and have a variety of other certifications and awards. Your painter should be able to show their qualifications as easily.

If you're in Sydney, let us be your painters. Call us at 9958 1099.
