Commercial Painting Contracting: Start, Price & Scale

Why it pays for itself:

• Built by operators for operators, every lecture maps directly to a tab in the Commercial Painting Contracting Ops Kit — so you learn the concept, then immediately apply it in your workbook.
• We start with a fast-setup walkthrough of the kit and show you how your business settings flow into every downstream calculation.
• From there you master commercial estimating: measuring square footage, specifying the right coating system, stacking labor and material costs, and adding a margin that actually survives job-site surprises.
• Section three is all about winning and onboarding — proposal structure, follow-up cadence, and the signed-contract checklist that protects you before a single can of paint is opened.
• Section four covers field operations: the Paint and VOC Calculator, EPA RRP lead-safe compliance, crew dispatch, daily punch-out, and quality control walkthroughs that prevent expensive callbacks.
• Money and bookkeeping comes next — how to run your Income and Expenses tab, issue draw invoices tied to your Job Tracker, track true job-level profitability, and read a simple P&L without an accountant.
• We close with recurring revenue: maintenance contracts, strata and property-management relationships, and the scaling moves that take you from one crew to a multi-van operation.
• You will leave with a fully configured kit, a repeatable bid process, a compliant lead-safe log, and a clear picture of where your money goes on every job.
• No fluff, no filler — just the systems a working commercial painter actually needs.
