re: House Painters...Why do they all look like they've just got released from prison?

I have been a residential contractor for a few decades and have never had a painter that wasn't an addict. It can be meth or alcohol but they are all addicted to something.
Some of them can make serious money especially if they know how to use a sprayer without getting overspray everywhere and can finish trim that looks silky smooth.
Even the ones that work in the plants painting tanks that get inspected are trashy looking. Just comes with the profession.
Everyone thinks they can paint but they can't. There is a skill to the good ones.
The real-time and quality comes in the finish on things like cabinets and trim. That's when you can tell if you have someone that dabbles in meth or a full-on addict.

I don’t reckon most of y’all have done much painting, but standing on a ladder, looking up all day, repetitive motion, painting base boards, etc, that shite hurts.

The remodeler’s crew down the street was as you described.
The last painter I had here was a Mexican with great manners and a calm demeanor. He worked fast and did have a white van but it was in decent shape.

I just had a dude come out for an estimate to redo my deck. He looked professional, so now I’m worried.

Because they have??

Because home builders cut cost at every point to profit, so they get Crack heads who do shity work cheap.
You want to see a fun bunch find a commercial roofing job, with out Mexicans doing the work. They look like zombies from the herion and pills. It is amazing how they don't die more often

I painted houses during the summers in high school... Your descriptions are not far off. I left them alone and they didn't want to have anything to do with me. One day I was cleaning up the site... I found a paint can in the bushes.. I picked it up and it was heavy... I opened it and there a giant turds in there... One the guys got pissed with me and I shouted back that he should have put in the trash can. That was the only disagreement we had...

What is a “professional” paint crew?
You need them to wear collared shirt?
I wouldn’t give a frick if an awesome paint crew had face tats and painted shirtless. If they are good, who gives a frick

Probably don’t want to hop in the Denali with coveralls soaked in paint spray.
I’ve worked in construction/contracting and you don’t want to trust laborers with nice vehicles. Cheap, shitty, and inexpensive is the way to go for the most part

The entire crew who painted my house did drive shitty vehicles. However, I believe they preferred weed as their drug of choice. Stoned at 0700 when they arrived every am, stoned when the came back from lunch. They showed up on time and painted straight lines though. No complaints here.

Let me give you a pro tip. If you call up a painter looking to get a job done and they say they can start on it first thing tomorrow....run. Don't do bidness with those folks.

that's just what real men look like

They're called Tradesmen of America. Show some respect, you educated commie.

Just be glad they exist or you'd be out in 115 heat scraping paint dodging wasps fricking 300lb women.

Prison whites to painter’s whites. Comfortable transition

The concrete guys, framing carpenters, drywall guys, roofers, and bricklayers I have seen would make most painters look like Homer, the Home Depot mascot guy.

This is like asking why a car mechanic has oil on his clothes.
Or why a guy that cleans hood vents has grease stains all over his.
Or why do construction guys drag mud everywhere.
