Why Skilled Painters and Decorators Choose Grafter

Grafter works for the full span of the painter and decorator trade. Time-served decorators with ten or twenty years under their belt who want a steady stream of residential and landlord work without feeding a job board. Newly self-employed painters stepping off the tools of a bigger firm who need somewhere to build real reviews from real clients. Wallpaper and feature-wall specialists who do not want to compete with spray-and-go teams. Exterior and masonry painters happy to chase weather windows. Whichever kind of decorator you are, you list your specialisms on the profile once and the matching jobs filter through.

The split between Grafter and a painting agency is simple: nothing comes off your rate. No daily margin, no agency timesheet, no-one negotiating the job behind your back. You agree the price for the room, the house, or the week directly with the client, keep 100% of it, and build a portable profile of reviews and finished jobs that travels with you across every client. You pick which painting jobs to apply to and how many you take on — work on Grafter alongside any regulars, property management contracts, or other agencies you already have.
