Commercial and Residential Painting

Objectifs du programme

The Commercial and Residential Painting program aims to train painters. Painters apply finishes to protect and decorate surfaces in residential buildings, commercial buildings, institutional and industrial buildings and construction sites. They prepare different surfaces (wood, masonry, plaster, chalky and synthetic surfaces, cement, metal) before applying materials such as paint, high performance coverings, waterproof materials, flame retardant materials, varnish, lacquer, wall coverings and special finishes.

Preparing and finishing work is determined by the nature and quality of the surface, as well as the finish desired.

Painters work in construction companies, as entrepreneurs, building maintenance, or are independant contractors. They work on large scale projects (such as large apartment buildings), inside and outside homes, wall coverings, industrial settings, bridges, airports, buildings, boat projects, mining sites and other commercial or industrial projects. Some painters practice their trade for several years on the same site, while others may work for contractors that rarely work more than once with the same client.
