By national ratios Hartford supports about 110 full-time painter pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. That is smaller than most United States cities we cover. Only 26 % of homes are owner-occupied: landlords, building managers and housing associations place much of the work, often as recurring contracts. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
