Southington Painting Company LLC, a well-established painting contractor serving Connecticut homeowners since 1979, is seeking a highly skilled, detail-oriented Interior Painter to join our team.

One of our longtime, highly experienced interior painters will be retiring at the end of 2026, and we're looking for the right individual to step into this important role.

This is a unique opportunity to work directly alongside an accomplished craftsman before his retirement, learning our company's finishing techniques, quality standards, and approach to delivering exceptional results.

We're not simply looking for someone who can paint walls. We're looking for a skilled professional who takes genuine pride in their craft.

Responsibilities

• Perform high-quality interior painting in residential homes and select commercial properties.
• Prepare surfaces to professional standards, including patching, sanding, caulking, priming, and other detailed preparation.
• Deliver exceptional finishes on walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinetry, and architectural details.
• Produce clean, consistent brush and roller finishes with careful attention to detail.
• Work with a variety of premium coatings and finishing products.
• Protect customers' homes, furnishings, flooring, and belongings throughout each project.
• Maintain clean, organized, and professional job sites.
• Work alongside our retiring interior specialist to become familiar with company procedures and finishing expectations.
• Communicate professionally with customers, coworkers, and management.

Qualifications

Required:

• Several years of professional interior painting experience, preferably in residential environments.
• Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality, professional finishes.
• Strong skills in surface preparation, cutting in, brushing, rolling, and detailed trim work.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to doing the job correctly.
• Ability to work independently and efficiently without sacrificing quality.
• Professional appearance, dependable attendance, and strong work ethic.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
• Ability to work cooperatively with other team members and maintain a positive attitude.

Preferred:

• Experience spraying kitchen cabinets, doors, and other fine-finish surfaces.
• Familiarity with HVLP and/or airless spraying equipment.
• Experience with cabinet refinishing, including proper preparation, priming, spraying, and finishing techniques.
• Experience working in occupied, high-end residential homes.
• Ability to handle detailed finish work and challenging interior projects.
