The local PDCA Portland Chapter consists of painting contractors in Oregon and southwest Washington.  Member painting contractors range in size from small painting companies to large multi-state painting operations. The PDCA Portland Chapter includes residential, commercial and industrial painting contractors. Associate and Affiliate members include paint stores, suppliers and other service professionals. The Painting and Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA) Portland Chapter is a member of PDCA Oregon Council and National PDCA.

The painting contractor association meets monthly usually for dinner meetings.  At these events painting contractors have the valuable opportunity to network with other painting contractors to discuss issues relevant to the painting business. Regular education meetings and seminars include speakers on topics concerning technical, regulatory, educational and business management strategies. Most educational events qualify for Oregon CCB elective credits. The group is an educational resource for painting contractors who strive to be both professional craftsmen and successful business people.
