Just a little ding because at the 4:00 mark in the video it shows the ceiling with popcorn texture. Dude. Don't even get me started, but your calculations should adjust based on the texture of the surface you are painting. And popcorn is almost the worst for so many reasons.
@paintscoutАй бұрын
Thanks for your comment! Our calculations actually do adjust! You'll notice that for the walls, these painters can paint 100 sqft/hr, while with the ceilings, they're using 75 sqft/hr. End of the day, as long as you're accurate about the time it takes your painters to get the work done, this method will be effective.
@throughsoulАй бұрын
@@paintscout Question: Then are there different inputs for ceilings with standard texture and ceilings with popcorn texture? Or is there just one input selection available for ceilings and you set ONE production rate of 75/sq/hr? Because there are also three different common textures for walls, too. Can PaintScout have Walls - Light texture AND Walls - Heavy texture as different estimate options?
@paintscoutАй бұрын
@@throughsoul Absolutely it can! You can set up as many production rates as you would like with varying rates. We often see this with our users, as their rates might change depending on the texture, size, level of difficulty etc. Hope that helps!

Ok. I don't usually do this, but... Are you blind or just full of poop? Maybe you just live in an area with fewer minorities/ women in general. Either way, pushing DEI hiring is a BAD move for the trades. I spent the majority of my career, 10+yrs, in residential property management. I rarely ever met a white contractor. Every painting company was Hispanic owned and staffed. I even knew a woman painter. Electricians- Hispanic, some white + lots of women. Plumbers- some Filipino, some Hispanic and some white + some women. Carpenters- also a mix. Moral of the story: You're in some kind of bubble or, someone lied to you. The trades are full of minorities and women. We even have tons of women engineers and project managers and welders, yes, iron workers. I don't like these kinds of videos bc it paints a false picture for those who don't know how to find the truth. And that creates social justice warriors for something that doesn't need "justice". Stop feeding into the lie buddy. Lastly, just bc women technically know how to do a job, does not mean they should be allowed to. Inclusive does not mean filling the position with someone whose body isn't meant for that kind of work. There needs to be balance and common sense. Otherwise, the unqualified worker gets hurt and possibly others too.

As long as the recruitment process is organic, you will get quality recruits. If you try to force it with DIE quotas, it will be a shitshow.

Hey guys thanks for the videos!! Quick question what do your warrantees look like for your projects, how long, and what do they tend to cover?
@paintscout2 ай бұрын
Hey Joseph, thanks for your question. We have a Lifetime Warranty on cabinet painting projects and a Lifetime Touch-Up Promise on interior painting. For exterior, most wood siding / trim is 4 years and aluminum / vinyl is 10. We want to do warranty work as it is a great way to keep in touch with our customers and keep them coming back for more. -Michael

This is how I handle it in Canada. “Get 2 more quotes from any reputable, licensed, insured company and I will match or beat their price”. The best way is to be up front about your pricing. I’m $1.50 per sq ft per coat on most paints.. trims may alter the price.

When you have windows, doors or other items to paint that are in walls, does it automatically make a deduction from the walls? Can you enter the exact dimensions of doors or windows etc?
@paintscout2 ай бұрын
Great question! We suggest following PCA's Standards of Measurement. Our system does not automatically deduct window/door dimensions and here’s why: If you have a small space, like a door or window, measure the entire wall. It will take your painters just as much or more time to cut around the opening than to include it. But, if you have a space larger than 100 square feet, make sure to deduct that from the total measurement. More details on this here: shorturl.at/NAPjn Hope that helps!

Great show. I wish you guys would have addressed the compensation plan for the first sales rep hire. Salary? Salary + commission? Draw Against Commission? Straight Commission? I struggle with this aspect of making the job appealing to a sales rep without breaking the bank until they are actually selling jobs. If you have another show covering this, can you reply with the show link? If not, can you give, what you have found to be a "best practice" concerning the comp?

Way too technical, not enough emotion? Too many closed ended questions? Yes / No? Who are the Influencers? You know nothing about why they are doing. Where did the lead come from? What if I get out there and find this / that / those? How do you handle that comment? What have other painting companies told you? Be curious not the know it all. If I get out there and it turns from $10k to $18k, how is that going to play out? Are you looking for lowest price? How are you qualifying that in an open ended question?

Let’s factor furniture moving, laying tarps/ plastic / rosin paper/ tape, removing plate covers/ blinds/ drapes/ hardware/ wall hangers/ screws/ nails/ etc. Then you have drywall repairs, caulking, sanding, priming or spot priming, stain kill, etc. And once all this is done, you can do the easy part (painting).

Thanks for the video guys! It's nice to know there are ppl out there trying to improve the painting industry with real logic & methods. Over the last few years I've reluctantly begun working with "other humans" 😂 to pick up more work & make more side money, bc I usually only paint PT & never made a ligit thing out of it. Anyway, I can definitely say that both many workers & owners do not follow your wise logic whatsoever. This seriously continues to blow my mind, whether it be baby boomer guys or guys young enough to be my kid. The boomers love round numbers based on guesstimating & maybe they know with experience. 🤷 The younger ones do love those dumb floor sqft numbers, which make no sense. I played with math on a big house to a tiny house using that logic & one side gets screwed as the numbers shift. So, I have found their logic very frustrating to work with bc those kind of owners & leads tend to get pushy & cut lots of corners or the owner walks away reaping huge profits that make me wanna puke on price gouging poor old ladies. I currently work for guys who don't seem to understand timelines & planning jobs out to keep us painters working, which is prbly my biggest complaint in this industry. Owners often run the show & bark ridiculous ideals & yet have no clue to what is being done or needs to be done properly on a job. In all construction & painting, I do still find lots of sexism against me & other women, especially if I speak up about things like methods, cleaning, proper prep work & rushing "to just get it done". If things pick up more & I can afford to "go ligit", I will consider an app service like this, but there is noooo wayyyyyy I can pay hundreds of dollars a month, when I can barely pay the few bills I have to stay alive & get to my other ligit job that does pay some bills. So again, thanks for sharing & posting usefull stuff. 😇
