Painting Contracting

Painting contractors provide professional painting services for homes and businesses - interior painting, exterior painting, commercial painting, and specialty finishes.

You prepare surfaces, apply paint professionally, and deliver quality finishes.

Projects range from $1,500-$5,000 for interior rooms to $5,000-$20,000 for whole house exteriors.

Revenue reaches $100,000-$350,000 with painting crew with 35-55% margins after labor and materials.

Target clients include homeowners, property managers and landlords, commercial buildings, new construction, house flippers and renovators, and real estate staging.

Services include interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet painting and refinishing, deck and fence staining, commercial painting, pressure washing and surface prep, color consultation, wallpaper removal, and drywall repair.

Success requires professional painting techniques and quality, crew management and training, accurate estimating and project management, surface preparation knowledge, customer service and professionalism, and potentially contractor license depending on project sizes.

Many painting contractors specialize in residential or commercial, offer additional services like carpentry or drywall, work with property managers for recurring business, potentially offer eco-friendly low-VOC paints, and scale through painting crews working multiple projects.
