• Organized and cleaned work area and tools.
• Cleaned surfaces to be painted using abrasives, solvents, brushes, scrapers and other tools.
• Assisted with mixing and preparing paints for use on projects.
• Followed safety protocols while operating machinery such as saws, sanders and grinders.
• Filled cracks and breaks in plaster surfaces with putty or epoxy compounds, such as using a caulk gun.
• Operated hand tools, saws, routers and sanding equipment to prepare materials and finish project surfaces.
• Transported supplies from the work vehicle to the job sites.
