| Choosing an Alternative
Painting Contractor to Paint Your House in Baton Rouge, La. |
Here in Baton Rouge, La., there are a few really large painting
contractors that employ anywhere from sixty to one hundred painters as
part of their workforce and for the most part they are responsible for
all the high rise buildings (commercial) as well as shopping malls and
even industrial plants being painted. Some of these painting
contractors are the second and third generation (family business) of
painting contractors and their company's name is well established
throughout the region as well as the whole state for that matter.
Year in and year out you can see these painting contractors' names on
trucks and vans moving personnel as well as paint and material from one
job site to another. Although commercial and industrial
growth in the Baton Rouge region has also fallen victim to a sluggish
economy there is still much work for these mammoth painting contractors
to keep much of their crews busy even in uncertain ecomonic
times like today.
However, I can recall just a decade ago when these same giant painting
contractors were hiring painters practically every day of the week.
Their workload was unbelievable and they couldn't find enough painters
to fill all the positions that were available; boy have times changed.
But make no mistake about it these mega painting contractors are still
going strong and their presence is still felt far and wide.
With the downturn of economic activity in this region as well as around
the country many large painting contractors have had to search out new
and unusual territory to just stay afloat and to keep from having to
lay off some of their better painters. Yes, times have certainly
changed and one thing for sure it hasn't changed for the better some
would argue. Large painting companies that worked exclusively on multi
million dollar projects are now beginning to invade the small single
dwelling homes that they once turned up their nose at metaphorically
speaking. With the commercial and industrial work cut drastically and
the new home building market down almost 66% in neighboring communities
it's no wonder that mega painting contractors are now competing with
the little guy who's been here all the time.
Drive up and down practically any neighborhood in Baton Rouge, La. and
in most neighborhoods all across America and you will see a phenomena
that is still in existence to this very day. It doesn't matter if it's
a neighborhood of the rich and famous or a much more modest one; look
carefully and you're bound to see a phenomena that this great country
of ours was built on over the past four hundred years. Men
and women laboring their heart out to do the best possible job they
can. Just stop for a moment and observe how this lone craftsman/crafts
person go about plying his/her trade. From sunrise to sundown
you can find them working tirelessly to present to the world nothing
less than their very best...and to top it all off they are their worst
critics--never satisfied. Never.
These guys and gals are the antithesis to large multi million dollar
painting contractors who we seem to want to give all the credit to.
They are hard workers that are so skillful and so intent on exhibiting
those skills each and every minute of the day. They have no large staff
to help them out, truth be told most have no staff at all; they are the
company. Salesman, administrator, secretary, estimator, craftsman and
laborer all rolled up in one and yet they never complain about their
duties. And the old worn down work boots and tattered painters' pants
that's covered in old, old paint from past jobs many years ago is just
another testament to how these hard workers not only put up with the
toils and strife that they must endure from year to year but also it's
a
true validation of what "staying power" is really all about.
Oftentimes you will pass them on the freeways, highway, or up and down
the avenue in old trucks; old vans; old cars, and more often than not
the one and only family vehicle also pulls double duty as the work
vehicle as well. You can be sure none of these guys and gals will be
held in honor at the annual awards ceremony held at the Sheraton Inn
and few will ever become famous for all they do but one thing is for
certain the work they do is not done for any type of public honor and
glorification; instead, it's a "labor of love" that is self rewarding
each and every time a homeowner comes out to thank them for doing such
a great job on their house. Other than a paycheck this is the only
reward that give these self employed painting contractors so much
satisfaction.
Whether you're looking for a residential
interior
painting contractor and/or a
residential exterior
painting
contractor in Baton Rouge, La.
take a moment and take
a look at these alternate painting contractors. Truth is, although they
are a one man show and cast members all wrap up in one; they are no
less a painting contractor as the big guys. With everything on the line
each and every job it's no wonder that these human monuments reflect
the character and substance of what this great country of
ours was and still is all about today. Happy Spring time guys I wish
you all a prosperous new beginning; after all, that's what Spring is
all about--new growth.
