— Benjamin Franklin: Founding Father of the United States of America

The benefits of being an active member of PDCA and the Sun Coast Chapter have been extremely rewarding for my business, my customers, my employees, and me.  If you are a licensed painting contractor I encourage you to bring your business to a new level of success.  When you become a member of PDCA you are surrounding yourself with those in our business who care enough to show our clients and customers what can be acomplished with knowledge, ethics, and professionalism.

There is no such thing as a standard work week!  Most states define overtime for nonexempt workers as any hours worked over 40 hours per workweek, there are exceptions.  An employees assertion that overtime is due for any work over 8 hours per day is incorrect.  It always pays to check with your state laws.

Currently there are over 600 licensed painting contractors in Pinellas County alone!

Pinellas County has one of the most demanding licensing boards in the state.

Some requirements for licensing consist of:

• 4 years verifiable experience in a supervisory position in the painting industry
• Credit Reports
• Background Checks
• Liability Insurance
• Bonding
• Workers' compensation
• Display of license number on all advertising and printed materials
• Continued education to maintain license

These are some of things that seperate us from your average "guy with a van and a brush". 

It is up to us to see that those who want to consider themselves eligible to work along side us.  Meet the same standards as we do. 

Not only does it create a better business environment.  It promotes  credibility for our trade  with our community.
