Those looking for a higher paying service business can start painting. My quotes on painting my old house to get it ready to list were very very high. Like $10k high. (This was the lowest bid)
I ended up buying a Graco paint sprayer to support the parent company which is a customer of mine. The overspray with airless is not a huge deal unless you are spraying furniture. Flat walls catch everything.
Man is it quick and easy to paint professionally with this thing. The sprayer was about $300. The paint was less than $1000. The ancillary stuff was probably $100.
That to me looks like ~$8500 in profit for 3 days of work. The sprayer will probably last a few years too.
Now you’ll say… “But Kak, I don’t want to paint for three days. That sounds like hard work.”
So don’t. Can you afford to hire a two guys when you’re getting $8500 in profit out the back end of this? Yeah.
Guess what… with the ever hated on this forum, ultra scary, employee… You can do three jobs at once.
Salt of the earth businesses make money folks.
