Hiring Painters and Growing From One Crew to Three
The jump from one crew to two is where many painting companies stall. The owner cannot be at every job anymore.
Hire for Attitude
Skills can be taught. Showing up on time and caring about the customer's house are harder to teach.
Make a Crew Lead
Each crew needs a lead who can talk to customers and make small decisions.
Standardize the Work
The painting checklist makes your standard the default for every crew. See The Painting Checklist.
Give the Crew the Details
Rooms, colors and prep on every job card.
Watch Quality From the Office
Finished checklists, photos and reviews tell you how each crew is doing.
