Submitted photo College student entrepreneurs Michael Harold and Bill Mullen.
Currently in the last quarter of his sophomore year at UC Santa Cruz, heading towards a degree in business management Economics, Pacifican Michael Harold is interning with College Works Painting. Founded in 1993, CWP teaches undergraduate students strong painting skill sets, organizational management, marketing skills and leadership, with a focus on satisfied customers.
Harold's professional painting business starts this summer. "We begin painting in mid-June and end in mid-September," Harold said.
Harold's project manager is UC Berkeley sophomore Bill Mullen. Also a Pacifican, Mullen is an integrative biology major with an English minor.
"As project manager, I will apply skills in paint tech to oversee the job that the workers will do at a specific house or other job site," Mullen said. "This will include knowing the dimensions of the house and how many coats it requires, as well as making sure the painters themselves folks from their late teens to middle age are working efficiently."
"Bill will visit work sites throughout the day and make sure everything is running smoothly," Harold said, "that we are hitting our time budget goals and addressing any concerns of the clients. I will be doing the same thing. Bill will make my life much easier."
The crews will generally consist of two people, with an average job's projected time of four days. Estimates are free.
"We take care of all exterior house painting needs," Harold said. "We repair failing stucco, caulk cracks, and scrap sand and prime localized paint failures. In terms of woodwork such as dry rot, if the client doesn't wish to spend their time looking for a carpenter, I will take over that responsibility and have one of our sub-contractors come out and estimate the job."
"There are a lot of factors that go into the price," Harold continued, "such as having many colors as opposed to one, as well as the amount of prep work needed. Prep is 60 percent of the job, which is why it is always better to maintain your house rather than let paint start to peel off." (Average price, one story home, moderate prep work ($3,200-$4,300.)

BAKERSFIELD, CA -- The Contractor's State License Board has cited a Bakersfield man for various violations during an undercover sting in east Bakersfield.
Donald Ray Laverdure was among several contractors who were cited after investigators had posed as homeowners on April 30th at an east Bakersfield home. The investigators would ask the suspects to bid on several projects including painting, patio construction and tree trimming. Laverdure was also taken into custody for DUI and domestic violence warrants, according to a CSLB news release.
Nine people had been cited for contracting without a license. Six suspects according to the news release were cited for illegal advertising which is a misdemeanor.
The CSLB says among those cited were Frank Tirado, Jim Scott Meadors, Raymond Lee Rangel, Richard G. Palezyan, Heriberto Gonzalez Rodriguez, Julian Robert Baca, Wulfrano Briviesca Lopez and Librado Mateo-Mondragon.

Nineteen people on the South Shore face charges from an April 30 undercover sting by the the California Contractors State License Board and Nevada State Contractors Board.
Dubbed Border Blitz, it snared 11 people on the California side for illegal contracting charges and eight in Nevada. Three caught in Nevada are licensed contractors in California.
The stings were at a single-family home near the junction of highways 50 and 89 junction and at a condominium in Stateline. Investigators from CSLBs Statewide Investigative Fraud Team and NSCB posed as homeowners seeking bids for various projects that included exterior painting, deck work, landscaping, and other tasks requiring general B building contractor skills.
According to investigators, those cited after giving bids in California were issued notices to appear in El Dorado County Superior Court. The eight Nevada suspects are scheduled to answer charges in Lake Tahoe Justice Court.
All 11 suspects cited in California face misdemeanor charges of contracting without a license. Home improvement and construction jobs in California valued at $500 or more (combined labor and material costs) must be conducted by a company or person with a CSLB-issued license. Nine of the 11 were also cited on a misdemeanor charge of illegal advertising. California law requires contractors to place their license number in all print, broadcast, and online advertisements. Those without a license can advertise for jobs valued at less than $500, but the ad must state that they are not a licensed contractor.
Nevadas threshold for licensed contracting work is $1,000. All eight suspects caught in Stateline were cited for contracting without a license, and seven of them face an additional charge of advertising without a license. In Nevada, advertising contracting services without a license is illegal.
Here are the names of those cited:
