Q: “How do I Become a Licensed Painter?”
A: Criteria to qualify for a license depend on the locality in which you operate. Other considerations may include having no criminal background and the legal right to work in the country. You may have to prove your work experience by sharing photography or video of completed projects, supply work references and financial statements, or be fingerprinted. You may also need to take a state exam that covers such areas as evaluating job sites, choosing paint and stain colors, and removing wallpaper.
