What Painters and Construction and
Maintenance Workers Do
Painters do more than paint. Before they even pick up a paint-
brush they have to typically do the following:
•
Cover floors and furniture with drop cloths and tarps
to protect surfaces
•
Remove fixtures such as pictures, doorknobs, or
electrical switch covers
