The work dries up the second the weather turns or a job wraps. Rained-out weeks, seasonal layoffs, and hours you can never count on. At Framework First, finishing happens inside a climate-controlled factory in Salinas, so the work does not stop when it rains and the paycheck keeps coming all year.\n\nWe are a family-owned company that builds homes and ADUs about 97% inside our own Salinas factory, then crane-delivers and sets them on-site. This is a real operation with a full factory floor and an office, backed by a craftsman trainer with 40+ years of building experience. Because you cover both drywall and paint, you are worth more to us than a single-craft hire, and the pay range reflects it. There is room to grow here, and the people who work hard move up.\n\n*What you'll do*\n\n* Hang, tape, mud, sand, and texture drywall to a clean, ready-to-paint finish.\n* Prep, prime, and lay down paint by spray, roller, and brush, with sharp cut-in lines and no runs or misses.\n* Patch and touch up drywall and paint after a home is set on-site so it looks move-in ready.\n* Move between both crafts as the build needs, mostly inside our climate-controlled factory.\n* Keep your area clean, your materials stocked, and your finish consistent from one unit to the next.\n\n*Who you are*\n\n* Real hands-on experience in BOTH drywall and paint. This is one role for one person who does both, not a single-craft painter or a single-craft drywaller. Not entry-level.\n* Able to read a plan set and finish schedule and build to them without hand-holding.\n* You own your work. When your name is on a wall, it is straight, smooth, and sellable, and if a detail is off you fix it before anyone has to ask.\n* Punctual, reliable, and comfortable working in English on a team.\n* Trade school or training is a plus, not a requirement.\n\n*Job specifics*\n\n* Location: Salinas, CA. Most of your week is inside our climate-controlled factory, with occasional on-site touch-ups after a home is set.\n* Schedule: Mon–Fri, 7:30 AM–4:00 PM (40 hrs/week). Steady hours year-round and a paycheck you can count on.\n* Pay: $35–$45/hour to start (DOE), about $72,800–$93,600/yr at 40-hour weeks, before overtime. Time-and-a-half when we push to finish a build.\n* Tools and workstations provided. You bring the skill, we supply the rest.\n* Benefits: 401(k), paid vacation, holiday, and sick leave, and an employee discount. Starting October 1, 2026, we are also adding health, dental, and vision coverage.\n\n*How to apply*\n\nApply at apply.frameworkfirst.com. Send us your resume or a quick rundown of your work history, tell us whether drywall or paint is your stronger craft, and let us know your earliest start date. One last question: what does a finish you are proud of look like to you?\n\n*What happens next*\n\nWe read every application. If your experience looks like a fit, we reach out to schedule a short virtual interview, a real conversation, not a form.\n\nNo videos to record and no hoops to jump through. If the call goes well, we invite you to a paid working tryout on our factory floor so you can see the operation and we can see your craft.\n\nPay: $35.00 - $45.00 per hour\n\nBenefits:\n* 401(k)\n* Dental insurance\n* Employee discount\n* Health insurance\n* Paid time off\n* Referral program\n* Vision insurance\n\nWork Location: Hybrid remote in Salinas, CA 93905","company":"Framework First","rawCompany":"framework first","city":"Salinas","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-09-02T11:12:55.754Z","occupations":[{"code":"47-2141.00","title":"Painters, Construction and Maintenance","slug":"painters-construction-and-maintenance"},{"code":"47-2082.00","title":"Tapers","slug":"tapers"},{"code":"47-2081.00","title":"Drywall and Ceiling Tile Installers","slug":"drywall-and-ceiling-tile-installers"}],"industries":[{"code":"238390","title":"Other Building Finishing Contractors","slug":"other-building-finishing-contractors"},{"code":"238320","title":"Painting and Wall Covering Contractors","slug":"painting-and-wall-covering-contractors"},{"code":"238310","title":"Drywall and Insulation Contractors","slug":"drywall-and-insulation-contractors"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Drywall Finisher & Painter","description":"If you can hang and finish drywall and lay down clean paint, you already know how this trade usually goes.
