Earnings
Painters who work on exterior painting tend to be busier in the warmer and drier months, causing a painter, like many craftsmen, to have seasonally fluctuating income. In May 2018, the median annual salary of painters in construction and maintenance was $38,940, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The lowest 10 percent earned less than $25,970 annually, and the top 10 percent earned $64,790 or more annually.
