Did you know? While your best promotion comes from doing a great paint job, there are times when you may need to rush after work. If that’s the case, some possibilities might include:

– Real estate offices. Real estate agents have a reputation for finding cheap work. At least your sellers want cheap work, but your buyers or people who move want a good job. Either way, you should continue to do a good job, and your craft will attract well-paying customers.

– Reform companies. Some have their own crews. Some underestimate his work and some refer to the paint job.

– Stores like Sears, Home Depot and Lowes offer remodeling services and hire subcontractors to do the work.

– Public tenders. Schools, post offices, city housing, universities regularly put jobs out to bid. On smaller jobs, they will hire a reputable contractor for a negotiated price.

– Corporations. Banks, hospitals and other large companies often have projects where they need painting contractors.

– Insurance adjusters. After fire or storm damage, many insurance adjusters need special paint done to seal smoke or water damage.

– Adult schools. Teaching a painting or faux finishing class can introduce you to clients.

– Churches. When churches have painting projects, they are usually large projects that can generate referrals.

– Local associations of builders. There you can meet well-established contractors who can use your services or recommend you.

– Architects. This group can be a rich source of referrals.

If you have the ability to go door to door if it’s legal, you can generate substantial business. If you’re at a party, coffee shop, or on the street, mention that you’re a painting contractor. Even in slow times, people are hiring painting contractors. Take a walk and you’ll see signs for painting contractors.
