How to become a painter in the United States
Painting is one of the easiest trades to enter in the US. No license is required to work as an employee for a painting company in most states. However, working independently as a contractor typically requires a state-issued painting or general contractor license, proof of insurance, and sometimes bonding.
The big regulatory requirement is the EPA RRP rule — if you disturb more than 6 square feet of lead paint in a home built before 1978, you must be RRP certified. Violations carry fines up to $37,500 per day. OSHA regulations also apply, particularly for lead exposure, fall protection, and respiratory protection when spraying.
