If you're new here, I'm Mike, founder of Painter Growth. We coach painting contractors on how to build a real business, not just run jobs. We've worked with over 1,500 contractors, from $300K solo guys to $5M teams, and our coaches are all painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves.
Quick version of how I got here. In my early 20s I was running my own painting business and it was a mess. Underbid jobs, painters showing up stoned, spilled paint on driveways, wrong colors on a house, I even fell off a ladder. Ended the year with a $20K tax bill I couldn't pay.
Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems and sales instead, hired a coach, and hit $200K a month before I turned 24.
Then I moved cities for my now-wife, shut the painting business down, and spent five years helping grow a SaaS company to almost $10M a year. That's where I learned the online business side of things.
During COVID those two worlds smashed together and Painter Growth was born. Launched in Oct 2021 with $10 a day in Facebook ads and no clients. Signed 10 clients by the end of that year, 8 of them got huge results, and that was all the proof I needed.
Since then we've brought on my partner Jesse, built a team of almost 50, became an official Sherwin-Williams coaching partner, and got named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.
You don't have to be a great painter to build a great painting business. You have to be a great business owner who hires great painters. That's the switch we help people make.
Right now I'm heads down on AI, building tools inside Painter Growth like a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator. Contractors who get ahead of this are going to win big.
Still figuring it out, still building, right alongside 1,500 contractors doing the same thing.
Never quit,Mike
