House Painters: A Very Special Breed of Painters Unto Themselves in Baton Rouge, La. In today's world specialization is the norm rather than the exception and when it comes to painters it's no different. There are many different types of painters doing many different types of painting; for example, there are industrial spray painters that mainly work in industrial plants or some type of industry. There are auto painters that work at auto body shops; commercial painters that paint buildings, institutions and many other like structures, and the list goes on and on. However, there is another group of painters that are in my opinion the least recognized as well as the least appreciated. Year in and year out you can see them toiling as they paint the exterior of houses all around Baton Rouge, La. twelve months a year. With the climate being such that it is even in January or February it's not uncommon to see a house painter working furiously in the chilly weather to get the exterior of the house painted before the weather actually gets to bad for him to finish. Of course these house painters also do interior house painting year round as well but working inside of a house usually does not create too many complications unless the house is vacant and the utilities are turned off. Interior house painting for the most part does not present as many challenges as painting the exterior of a two story house with dormers; albeit, there are some interior house painting jobs that require the use of scaffolding, extension ladders, eight, nine, and ten foot step ladders and sometimes even twelve foot stepladders. Although this is certainly not the typical interior house painting job; however, they do exist right here in Baton Rouge and you can be sure that there is an interior house painter that is willing and ready to tackle the job without any reservations at all. The climate in Baton Rouge, La. for the most part is agreeable all year round. Winters are mild except maybe for a few extremely cold nights, and the summers are hot but Spring is wonderful. The weather is so beautiful this time of year in Baton Rouge and that's part of the reason why you will see so many exterior house painting jobs in progress. All around town house painters are busy plying their trade as they shake off the cobwebs left over from winter. It is an amazing site to see as these one man armies go about turning houses into works of art.
If you talk with practically any parent, grandparent or loving guardian and you ask them what would they like to see their son, daughter or grandkids become in life when they reach adulthood in most cases 99.9% will never say a "house painter". And that's simply because house painting is looked down upon as a default career. Most house painters are viewed as a lowly lot that couldn't achieve success in any other way. Most house painters are viewed as academic failures and a low ranking tradesman to boot, but to group all residential house painters into this category is far from the truth and it actually does a disservice to everyone especially the house painter him/herself who works hard and diligently to earn an honest and respectable income. No one could blame a parent for wanting their child or children to grow up to become educated and intelligent. Who could blame a parent for wanting their kids to become doctors, surgeons, dentists, scientist, educators, engineers, accountants and the like? And what parent would be opposed to their child becoming a prominent lawyer or a successful business executive with his/her own Lear jet parked right there in the their own drive way? Who? It is a wonderful thing to aspire to become a successful professional in today's world and receive all the trappings that goes along with success; however, success has many definitions and can be as subjective and varied as the people who populate the world. In my opinion house painting has always been and still is an honorable craft that is worthy of any child aspiring to be. Being a residential house painter is not synonymous with being uneducated and unintelligent for there are many house painters that are very educated and extremely intelligent yet they toil right beside the next house painter who may lack both. In a world; society, and the town that we live in where some of the worst crooks are very educated and some of the hard core criminals come from so called "elite circles" it's comforting to know that there are still men and women who work hard and toil long to make an honest and respectable living painting houses. It's good to know that all across America and right here in Baton Rouge there are a very special breed of men and women who work form sunrise to sunset plying their trade in obscurity and without recognition, but just for the record here and now I would like to pay homage to all residential house painters around the country and especially right here at home. Thanks guys for who you are and what you are and we look forward to seeing you around this Spring and long after. Good luck.
