Partnering with a painter?

[powerwashing4]

I have the opportunity to wash and stain a large wood house. I want to wash it but not stain it. I am thinking of partnering with a painter. Obviously, I need to worry about him becoming a competitor but let's assume that we work out a deal. Should I get a % for landing the job or just take the washing proceeds? Looking for your opinions and the reasoning behind it.

Call a painter with a good name and have him give you a price, then contract him to stain it and mark up the price so you get the money for the wash and what ever additional charges you want to add as a contracting fee. 10% of what he quotes you added to the estimate is fair.
