I hope you guys enjoy. I haven't really known where to go with the channel recently, so I figured I would just shut down the website and release the course for free. Hopefully it will help you guys out on your journey. I am still available to do 1 on 1 coachings at night if that is something you guys would be interested in.

      if you live in a big enough city you have contractors exchanges as well. Driving around and calling to get on lists, and then you have just googling and calling to get on lists. besides that, theres word of a mouth and thats about the only ways i can think of off the top of my head.

    A better way to calculate your margin is to divide the cost. If you want 50% margin then divide .38 by .5 and you would have a true 50% mark up of .76 per square foot.

    Hello, I am a 19-year-old getting into the paint game on the back end. We do about 3 million in rev, with one sales/ owner. I am looking for guidance on organization, estimating, and marketing. I've noted Facebook and EDDM for Residential and having a fixed number of estimates per week. Do you use any project managing or software to stay organized?

    How do GCs use a schedule of values? It’s more than progress payment determination. What’s funny is every sub I’ve worked for is afraid of the GC “reverse engineering” our number 😂😂😂😂 so if every division is just arbitrarily allocating costs, what good are they?

    • @TheEasiestBusiness

      In the end as long as both GC and subs are getting paid/paying out on what they both deem a fair schedule and amount....it doesn't really matter IMO.
