Big Painting Profits – How To Make Any Home Look Great

Custom painting is more than an art. Many people “think” they know how to paint. Yes, it takes a real pro or someone who really loves to paint to do a really good job.

3 Things To Know:

1.) Use the best paint on the planet so each project looks its best. Right now, I like the Sherwin-Williams Emerald line. Whether interior or exterior, this stuff makes painting easy, and it looks good when finished.

Custom painting starts with a good exterior paint job. I always use historic paint brochures or brochures that have standardized 3-color combinations to choose a color scheme from.

That way you don’t wind up with an odd-looking colors on your shutters or your front door making it look like a clown house.

The same thing goes for interior painting. Interior color brochures and interior 3-color combination brochures will give you an idea for the right colors or color scheme.

2.) I always tell people to look at the color of the brick colors or the floor tile colors to choose a shade or color from. Or the stain color of your floors and woodwork and go from there. The same thing goes for exterior painting. Start with the existing brick or stone color.

Many people today don’t pay much attention to their ceilings either. They want just the walls painted. Why waste a good paint job by ignoring the ceiling?

3.) A beautiful paint job for a bedroom or a living room should consist of a flat finish ceiling (preferably white), a matte finish on the walls, and a satin enamel finish on the woodwork and trim. These sheenes are the best looking for these types of rooms that don’t have to be washed all the time.

The most important part is the prep work. This part takes a pro in some cases. My course called “How To Paint Like a Pro Estimating & Advertising System” will show you how to do prep work super-fast and easy.

Big Profit Painter’s Tips For High-End Home Estimates

When I first decided to start my own painting business I thought I knew how to paint. Nothing was further from the truth. There is more to painting than just being a good painter, although that is a top selling point!

As a professional house painter, people won’t see the mistakes whether you’re doing a good job or making mistakes you and I will see. I can still remember the mistakes I made on my first painting job, doing an exterior home.

The usual scenario that I notice is new homeowners that buy a really nice home someone else owned for years and took great care of. And they decide to paint a room and they screw up the beautiful custom painting work some professionals did.

They make mistakes like putting latex paint over oil-base gloss and screwing up what maybe was a professional custom paint job in a really nice home by using cheap paint.

The results are things like peeling or chipping paint due to the lack of using an enamel undercoater type primer first. I mean, who knew unless trained?

The other extremes are like using the wrong sheen level or choice of colors. These things can destroy an expensive custom paint job and bring down the value of the property.

With the right knowledge, painters can make a residential property stand out first-class in a nice neighbourhood and get paid well for it!

#2. ‘Word of Mouth’ can give you tons of free business. Whenever you have family, friends or relatives over, the first thing you always want to do is show them something cool. Just think of the free leads you could get! And referrals are the best leads you can get.

#3. Star paint is low-cost and can be mixed in small quantities for freshness. And you only need you and maybe a helper to do a ceiling. You can make a week’s wages in a single day because you are creating a mural.

Painting Business: Superior Coatings For Making A Profit

admin — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 16:17:40 +0000

As a professional painter, I have found that when it comes to house paint, certain products perform best for certain tasks and can save you both time and money and look good when you’re done.

Take ceilings for an example. Many painters struggle with lap lines and sheen marks and messing with those things eat up hours. The best product I have ever used on ceilings was actually a primer made by Porter Paints called “Blanket” (PP 1129). It’s basically a high-hiding solid white ‘block out’ primer that looks like a pure white blanket on your ceiling.

Do two coats and you’re done. And it can be re-coated in just an hour – not 4 hours like regular paint (more time saved).

The downside is it is not readily available unless your paint store carries it. That’s what I love about Sherwin-Williams. Not only do they have a store on each side of town, they have everything under ‘one roof’ that painters need. Everything from brushes and rollers to commercial coatings and more.

Plus, their paints have gotten quite good over the years.

While nobody would even think of using a primer as a ceiling paint, this stuff works and looks great! It leaves a soft, pure white, flat, even finish with no streaks or lap lines. You can tint it to whatever color you want. It also makes a great block-out primer.

Now the benefits to using this ‘Porter Blanket’ solid white primer is that it grabs tight to any surface because it’s a primer. And it can be re-coated in only an hour and coverage is about 150 more square feet per gallon than regular paint and it’s cheaper per gallon too.

Also, you can tell where you have to roll on the second coat way easier because the first coat shows up like a primer but the second coat looks like a pure white solid blanket if you will.

Painting Business Profits: How To Make Any Home Or Business Look Like a Million Dollars

Custom painting is an art form. If you want to have lots of profitable weeks and get the best cash-paying jobs, learn how to do quality, professional work. Many people “think” they know how to paint (including me at one time). It takes ‘learned’ pro techniques to do a really good job. I still can learn newer and better ways to use professional paint jobs.

I walked into an office space one time and saw the most beautiful paint job ever. The walls were money-green and had a very nice finish and a smooth-looking sheen level. The contractor must have been proud.

For painting exterior homes, I always use historic paint brochures and the exterior 3-color paint brochures to choose a color scheme with. If you are good with colors, You could choose great colors on your own. These people are rare.

By using 3-color Historical Brochures, you won’t wind up with odd-looking colors on your shutters and front door making it look like a clown’s fun-house.

The same thing goes for interior painting. Historic color brochures and interior 3-color combination brochures will give you an idea for the right color schemes for each room.

I always tell people to look at the existing brick or tile colors of your floor. Or the stain color of your floor and woodwork and go from there. The same thing goes for exterior painting. Start with the existing brick or stone colors to work off of when choosing colors.

Many people today don’t pay much attention to their ceilings. They want just the walls painted. It’s kind of like taking a bath without washing your hair.

A beautiful paint job for a bedroom, living room, etc. should consist of a nice flat ceiling white, a matte finish on the walls and a satin enamel finish on the woodwork and trim. Bathrooms and kitchens need a washable finish.

The most important part is the prep work. This part takes a pro in some cases. I have learned how to make my prep work go fast and a lot more fun that what other painters do.

Painting Business: How To Help Home Owners Choose Colors

admin — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:09:29 +0000

Giving professional painting ideas or suggestions to homeowners can make you look professional and give you lots of juicy cash-paying referrals because of it. You can shave years off of trial and error making your customers’ homes look their best simply by using a few simple free tools called paint color brochures.

I like the ones that have traditional 3-color combinations that look ‘right’ or normal together.

Many people (who could afford to hire a professional painter) buy a home and decide to paint it themselves. They know nothing about painting techniques and it doesn’t take long to screw up a nice piece of property.

Things like using the wrong products and finishes or not taking the time to plan out a custom paint job and its color schemes etc. It’s like “who knew?”

Here’s a Simple Idea:

For example, if doing exterior painting, use custom color brochures when choosing two and three-color combinations so you get it right. Paint stores have these standardized brochures for both interior and exterior painting.

If you drive by some homes in a nice area, you will sometimes see goofy colors on the outside or on the front door and shutters. Instead, they could have used a color brochure or the exact paint and color codes they used when the home was built if it’s a fairly new home.

I did an exterior job a few years back. The paint store had the original colors and the exact brands that were used that came from that paint store. All these were probably from the building contractor. So that was an easy job set-up. I needed four main colors including the porch floor and the exact color in shutter stain.

I will also look to see if the customer has any stored paint cans for what was last used last if they want to stick with the same colors, the custom color codes, etc.

P.S. I also use color (fan deck) decks. These have colors in gradual shades. Someone who is ‘gifted’ with choosing colors can do good with a fan deck. For the rest of us, using standardized 3-color combination brochures (available at paint stores) works best.

Exterior Painting Tips For Profits

Exterior Painting – Valuable Color Tips For Doing Professional Work

I love it when spring comes around and I can start my exterior painting season. Some years, I have painted outside from spring until fall and loved every minute of it. You get plenty of fresh air, and it’s not crowded as it can be painting indoors. You don’t need all the tools you would need for interior work, either.

The main thing about exterior painting is that if you are going to help customers choose colours you should get yourself a colour brochure that has standardized exterior colours inside (3-colour combinations) and not just a fan deck of colours. You need to know what you are doing.

Exterior colour brochures are made of standardized colours that will look normal on your house and not turn it into an insane clown posy madhouse. With a colour brochure, you generally have two or three colour schemes that are normal looking and are standard for exterior house painting.

Another important factor is that when choosing colours is that if you have brick on your house or stonework you need to choose colours that are going to match those existing surfaces because in most cases they are permanent.

There’s also the style of the house. Some houses may go better with certain colours because of the very style of them. It’s like automobiles. Some colours go better with certain body styles than with others. So these are things to remember when planning your painting projects and if you’re choosing anything to be different in colour. Looking through magazines or at other fine homes for ideas may help.

The Amazing Benefits of Starting Your Own Painting Business

admin — Wed, 04 Dec 2024 19:06:20 +0000

The Amazing Benefits of Starting Your Own Painting Business

Owning your own painting business will make you more money than any job ever could. plus your self-respect will significantly rise as well. Plus, you actually look forward to new projects that usually start on a Monday morning.

I like getting a down payment so I can have instant cash flow instead of waiting two weeks for a pay check. I get a downpayment and I usually start the next day to get set up. this way I can enjoy the day and spend a little money if I want.

Here are some of the key benefits of owning your own painting business:

1. Unlimited Earning Potential

One of the most significant advantages of owning a painting business is the potential to make a lot of money or at least have your own job and nobody can fire you or order you around.

Unlike traditional salaried jobs, you control how much you charge, how many hours you work and how efficient you are in completing projects. With a solid reputation for doing quality work, the income potential is virtually limitless.

You can scale your business, hire employees, or even expand into new areas (like specialty painting services or commercial painting).

2. True Independence

As a painting business owner, you’re the boss. This means you get to decide your schedule, the type of work you take on, and the clients you serve. Whether you prefer small residential jobs or large-scale commercial projects, the flexibility to work on ‘your terms’ is a major benefit.

This independence allows for better work-life balance, as you can plan your work around personal commitments and set your own pace.

3. Creativity and Skill Development

Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to refine your skills, learn new techniques, and experiment with various painting methods. From interior and exterior painting to faux finishes, and other specialty painting, and custom designs. The variety of projects allows for both fulfilling the customers needs and making better money.

4. Low Start-Up Costs

Compared to many other businesses, a painting business has relatively low startup costs. You don’t need a physical storefront, and the necessary tools and equipment (like brushes, rollers, ladders, and sprayers) are fairly affordable and can be paid for as new projects come along.

Many successful painting business owners start with just a few tools and work out of their vehicle, gradually buying more tools as the jobs come in.

5. Steady Demand for Services

Painting services are always in demand, whether it’s for new construction, renovations, or ongoing maintenance. Both residential and commercial properties require regular painting and upkeep, making this a business with consistent demand and ongoing cash flow.

Additionally, a well-run business can rely on repeat customers, referrals, and long-term contracts, ensuring a steady stream of income.

6. Job Satisfaction and Personal Fulfillment

Owning a painting business is cool. There’s something deeply satisfying about taking on a project, getting down payments and seeing the transformation – whether it’s a freshly painted home, a restored historical building, or a modernized office space.

As the business owner, you can also take pride in building a team, hiring employees, and helping clients get what they want.

7. Ongoing Opportunities For Greater Success

Once you’ve established your painting company, there’s plenty of room for growth. You can gain business partners, hire additional painters to increase capacity, diversify your services (things like offering drywall repair, pressure washing, wallpapering and removal, faux painting, staining and varnishing, etc.).

The painting business offers you a wide range of opportunities for expansion, allowing you to grow at your own pace and even exploring different related services! See https://paintingbusinessman.com/easy-fun-add-on-service-for-painters/

8. Pride in Ownership

Owning a business gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment. The work you do directly reflects your business, and every successful job is a testament to your skills and effort.

You’ll also have the excitement of creating something from the ground up – like building solid relationships with your clients for future profits.

9. Developing Lots of Community Connections

As a local business owner, you’ll have the chance to make new friends and build profitable sources for future income. And word-of-mouth or referrals are the best form of advertising, and by offering excellent service, you’ll develop a loyal customer base.

Over time, your business can become a trusted name in your area and all over, which opens doors to new and bigger cash profits.

10. Financial Independence and Long-Term Wealth

Owning a painting business can pave the way to long-term financial success. You can even develop a million dollar company in time if you want to grow that big.

As your painting business grows, you can reinvest in the company, diversify your services and eventually enjoy the fruits of your labor.

By building a strong reputation, managing jobs efficiently, and expanding your services, your painting business can provide a stable income for the rest of your life. Your wife and kids will love you! Your relatives will be impressed. You family might take over for you in the future.

11. Learn And Know Your Coatings and Tools.

This takes a while but it will make and save you a lot of time and money and make your jobs look their best! This is really important in residential, commercial and industrial painting.

Final Thoughts

Starting your own painting business requires intelligent and careful thought and dedication, but the benefits are huge! If you’re looking to start a new business, the painting industry offers unlimited opportunity for growth and success.

Your’s for profits,
