I’m starting my own painting business as I truly find it relaxing and peaceful. I’m also tired of selling my talent to get another person rich. Time to focus on my growth 🤞
Love it!! 👏👏 Painting business owner here. In our 3rd year of business. 1st year I was completely solo. 2nd year brought on employees. Now for the 3rd year I've taken myself completely out of the field and off the brush. On track to finish this year out at $500k revenue with a 40% Gross Profit Margin.
@DoSterling Pretty much spent the 1st year solo just building our reputation, collecting 5 star reviews, posting on all socials. For tools, I just bought what was needed for specific jobs as we needed and built that up slowly. Keep pushing man, you can do it
@@ElitePainting_EpoxyCoatings thank you for getting back to me I lost all my money and family savings in the stock market this year trading options and I’m trying to get out of the hole by doing what I used to do in the past. Thank you so much for the encouragement man I appreciate it
My dad has been a painter for about 30 years now. My uncles (his younger brothers) are all painters as well. Ive work with them on & off throughout the years gaining experience & now that I’m in my mid 20’s i decided to pursue the family business. I’ve came to the realization that it will be an easy start up for me since my pops already has tons of connections that he can pass down to me. Wish me luck.
Same here broski, Been working with my dad since I was kid during summer and started working at age 18 now I’m about to be 21 and going to start off a business with my dad since he haves more experience than me and got connections also so already in a good start
Holy shit. Im in the same exact position right now. I own a mobile detailing biz but this family painting biz is a great opportunity as well. Thats the dilemma at the moment, which to put my focus on. Your opinion would be valuable if you care to share!
I paint often as a contractor and I feel this guy. We operate the same way in the fact we won’t hire and deal with flakes and have high work standards. It’s rough. What a talented artist too!!
Answer your phone or pay someone to answer the phone every time. Do not underbid for any reason. EVER. Your new job is a salesman. The entire gig is selling. Understand those 3 and you will be succesful. ❤
i loved painting to until i started working commercial jobs lol that sucks all the fun out of it instantly with all the smooth walls in semi gloss paint electrical conduit and firedoors you have to do. had to paint by hand once 900 feet of bare conduit because the electricians claimed they were done so we sprayed the ceilings and then after all the lights fiberoptics and all the crazy stuff was ran came back and ran abunch of bare conduit that would had to do by hand. was a nightmare.
I’m 38 years old and my name is Heidi Day and I just realized I know how to paint and I know how to paint really well and I would like to get me a business going? Thank you for your information. God bless and have a wonderful day. I hope you get to read this.
I've worked with painting contractors and they've told me that they have also been ripped off by a few clients that's why you should always get a down payment or something first get them to pay half and the rest later
This was a really excellent video. I've been into business about 34 years. First started as a high end painting company and then put into whole house, renovation and kitchen and design along with the painting. The only thing I was strongly disagree with on this video. And maybe it's because where he is located at. I'm in the chicago area and suburbs.. Paint is very expensive here and primers. Fifty dollars a gallon and up pretty much.. Have a paint, I buy for each specific project.. I would say my painting cost for each project. Materializes 2 tp 3 thousand dollars and up.. And then insurance here is very high also. But I thoroughly enjoyed the video. He is a very talented person and very creative with his artwork
This is guy is awesome ! best painter I've ever seen on You Tube! Funniest part is he's trying to quit. Thats when you know he's good. Painting professionally since 1986 still trying to quit...
Starting a painting business is becoming a full time salesman. Be clean. Answer your phone. And don’t underbid for any reason whatsoever no matter what EVER!!! This is also goes for every single service business ever started. Landscaping, cleaning, carpentry, nails, hair, plumbing. Don’t matter all the same. The winners all do the same thing.
Wish I was strong enough to do this professionally, doing my house at the moment. I find it super satisfying but wow painters are strong, my entire body hurts after doing just 2 days 😅 So fun to see how much better a fresh coat of makes the place feel completely different. ❤ seems like a great guy happy for him 🎉
This is a good small business model for a local who does very small projects within the immediate neighborhood. A base of ten or twelve locals in a suburban neighborhood with family houses can be profitable from word of mouth, reasonable prices, and reliability. But it's a very specific set of circumstances. Homeowners can be notorious for wanting more work than what was under contract, won't pay for extras and sometimes will hold out final bulk payment because they know a small business can't afford to go to court. So relationship with the clients is everything on this level. The other thing is that if you're working alone and sometimes with a helper you can only do this kind of work into your fifties. Injuries or health issues will put you in the red real quick. Finally there is a lot of down time with interior and exterior house painting. You're really busy only six months out of the year.
@KevinCleghorn Could not agree with your more. I have 1 foot on the shovel and 1 foot in the grave after 40 years of experience. What you and I do for a living aint easy. For those who think it is, they will change their mind after a day of working with us.
Wow...being a one man painter my self here in Bavarian Germany for 10 Years, i thought it is much different to the US. But it isnt. Really cool Video. Thx Tim!
If he only charges 75/hr that is super cheap, at least for my area. And for owning your own business. Sure it is decent to cover the basics but not to get well ahead in life. I charge 250-700 plus per hour, The most I have ever made in one day is around 4k. Never charge by the hour.. Charge by the project... If you want to make good money at anything you do, you have got to get very efficient at it. If you are not you will make a lot less. I made about 3k a week when I first started painting 20 years ago.. I try to make $1,000 a day minimum. Average is 2k a day. Will be making more videos for my channel, just started not long ago on here.
@@chasedeschamps850 I started working with realtors mostly to get my foot in the door, I charged a lot less then. But it was needed to get more referrals and do more projects.. I would take almost any house I could land, do the best I could and just grew my client base with lots of 16 hour long work days.. It only cost me about $1,400 upfront for a business license, bond and insurance.. My first sprayer was a graco 190es junk that could never keep up with me, but it did the job slowly.. Exteriors are usually easier to get because a lot of homeowners want to paint inside themselves.. Yea mostly worked with realtors, and would hand out my business cards to everyone I met even at the grocery store I would mention I paint houses.. I also did a lot of walking nice neighborhood passing out flyers on doors.. It takes a lot of effort to get traction, but the more you do, the more it improves every year.. Lots of years of feast or famine, as in eating steak spring through fall and beans in the winter.. Learn to save for the slow months.. :) I haven't spent much time on youtube making videos, because I have a hard time investing in things when I am not making a return right away.. But I am going to do business consultations for about $500 an hour and advanced training in person on some occasions.. Over 20 years of learning from my mistakes, and perfecting my skills... I never had a good teacher for business or painting.. Just had to learn on my own.. If I had, I would have been much farther in life and business now..
"After leaving my business management job due to a conflict, I faced significant challenges supporting my two daughters. However, I started a painting business, and through hard work and dedication, I am now a successful contractor with a team of 10 workers. We are currently handling three four-star hotel projects."

I have the transit connect van 2013 much better space wise then that still could be bigger but it works for me and it's very low to the ground easier to lift up the big 840 in there
Thank so much both of you , one the best business advice in field, given from the heart straight to the point, great experience and great two man god bless both of you.
I’ve never seen a professional use paint trays… use bucket grids, I replace naps and brushes after each job. On occasion multiple brushes per job. I’m not big on stretching out a $9 nap. With what I charge it’s not even worth me spending time cleaning a nap
I just started at a new company 2 days ago... helped my grandfather on a few jobs when I was way younger... didnt realize how much actually goes into it... Excited to start this new opportunity. Any words of advice would really help! Thanks!
I dont know how I came across this video, but it was very helpful and the questions you asked related well to the topic and are things I wanted to know but wouldn't have thought to ask. Thank you. (by the way you forgot to sensor the number on the paper flyer) lol
How do you guys find jobs? We have a licensed and insured company but have a hard time finding jobs. Things like angi list seem like a trap. Any help would be amazing!
As an artist running a solo painting business for many years, this was a great vid! But $3k/week? Thats $75/hr for a 40 hr work week...are painters really making that much on the regular? I charge $45-50/hr and always wonder how I compare to the other paint contractors. Any thoughts?
While $75/hr (my current goal rate) may seem like it's on the higher side, consider comparing that to a larger painting company with tons of overhead. Many times customers get multiple estimates yet I've still gotten the project. Sometimes they've even told me I was the priciest but they want quality. A little more about my journey...My first year working for myself, I aimed to make $25 an hour (this was 2011). That was double what I was previously paid working for a large painting company that I knew was charging $40-45/hr (but paying me only $12). As I got more solo work, specifically referral work, I gradually increased pricing. As I got more experience, I learned which projects tended to make more and prioritized those. Most importantly, is getting into neighborhoods that, simply put: have money. If a house is worth $800k, their budget for painting (and willingness and ability to pay) will be far greater than a house worth $150k. Also, 15 years into painting, I can accomplish about 3 times the workload in a day than I could early on. If you're making around $50/hr as a painter, I'd say your doing way better than most! Last, I should point out that I don't work anywhere near a 50 week work year, as my style of working 110% burns me out. If you're staying relatively busy, consider quoting higher end projects a bit higher. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results! Good luck my fellow artist!
@@Nickpaintbrush very true! Saving (and investing) money = getting rich! However, someone that owns a $1M home is far more likely to spend/capable of spending say $5,000 on painting, than someone that owns a $150k home.
Almost 30 years painting 9 inch out of a clean 5 gallon bucket. No screen You cant out pace us with the setup shown Sleeves should be replaced after every 50 gallons /per large job. Basically if you roll a whole house, it should be replaced Otherwise your 3/4 becomes a 1/2 Then that 1/2 becomes a 1/4. You end up beating yourself up production wise not replacing For walls
Wow! Can you please share me the company whose providing you the liability insurance for $500 a year? I'm in Texas and the cheapest quote I got is $300 per month 😢 thanks in advance!
Yes, I only selected interior painting with 2 employees, no workman's comp and $300 per month. The company is called Next insurance in Dallas, TX. I'm glad to learn from you all here 😃
I live in a relatively small town and I charge $50 per guy on the job site. If I do a job alone I charge minimum $75. As far as material if you have a company discount you charge original price to customers if not try 15% of original price if you buy
I started my painting business with sandpaper, tub of filler, 1 brush, 1 pot, 1 roller/pole+tray. Today i have nothing due to a enevitable chronic drinking habit painters just pick up along the way
I’m starting my own painting business as I truly find it relaxing and peaceful. I’m also tired of selling my talent to get another person rich. Time to focus on my growth 🤞

As an artist running a solo painting business for many years, this was a great vid! But $3k/week? Thats $75/hr for a 40 hr work week...are painters really making that much on the regular? I charge $45-50/hr and always wonder how I compare to the other paint contractors. Any thoughts?
How you come about to your clients to charge them that much
While $75/hr (my current goal rate) may seem like it's on the higher side, consider comparing that to a larger painting company with tons of overhead. Many times customers get multiple estimates yet I've still gotten the project. Sometimes they've even told me I was the priciest but they want quality.

If you're staying relatively busy, consider quoting higher end projects a bit higher. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results! Good luck my fellow artist!

I had my own headache, (need to be a drunk to be a painter) business… transitions to gutters best thing I ever did
You only clean gutters and do repairs, or do you also install gutters?
I’m def following him
I hope he has more than just the LLC and liability. Contractors license or at least a business license to run a business is required you would think.
Hes an amazing artist!
Almost 30 years painting
9 inch out of a clean 5 gallon bucket. No screen
You cant out pace us with the setup shown
Sleeves should be replaced after every 50 gallons /per large job.
Basically if you roll a whole house, it should be replaced
Otherwise your 3/4 becomes a 1/2
Then that 1/2 becomes a 1/4.
You end up beating yourself up production wise not replacing
For walls
I would like to see his business books. Solo painter that doesn't work full time, and rolls out paint, making 6 figures by volume is questionable.
If you quote projects at around $3k a week, it takes 33.3 weeks to reach $100k ;)

You need to be charging way more lol 30 an hour is hurting you big time... anything goes wrong and your done for profit.
$30 an hour isn't a business rate, it's a wage.
I live in a relatively small town and I charge $50 per guy on the job site. If I do a job alone I charge minimum $75. As far as material if you have a company discount you charge original price to customers if not try 15% of original price if you buy
