I hate to be negative, but you might think a little longer about this. The architectural painting market has been down for over two years now. I sell paint as my day job, and we see professional painting companies shutting down or at the very least having their worst years in almost 40 years.

Good luck to you. Scratch & claw. Painters are a dime a dozen, good painters are not!

One more thing you might look at. I am looking at our list of accounts. There are 59 "Quality Painting" accounts active in our system. I never can decided if that's good or bad!

Again, good luck.
