What's Inside

7 phases from zero to booked

This isn't a vague "tips and tricks" PDF. It's a real launch roadmap with specific steps, real prices, and actual timelines.

1

Decide & Specialize

Week 1

Choose your focus β€” interior, exterior, or both. Research local competitors, identify your target customer, and set your first 90-day revenue goal.

2

Make It Legal

Week 1–2

LLC formation, EIN, general liability insurance, bonding, contractor’s license (if required in your state) β€” step by step with exact costs.

3

Build Your Tool Kit

Week 2

Brushes, rollers, sprayers, ladders, drop cloths, masking tools β€” complete brand-name list with prices. Professional starter kit: ~$2,800.

4

Master Estimating

Week 2–3

How to measure square footage, calculate paint and labor costs, write professional estimates, and price per sqft to hit 50%+ margins on every job.

5

Prep Like a Pro

Week 3–4

The prep work checklist that separates pros from amateurs β€” patching, sanding, priming, masking, and protecting surfaces before a drop of paint goes on.

6

Get Found

Week 4–5

Google Business Profile, before/after photo strategy, Houzz and Angi setup, neighborhood referral scripts, and how to get reviews after every job.

7

Grow & Systematize

Month 2–6

Build your referral engine, create maintenance program upsells, raise rates strategically, and hire and train your first crew member the right way.
