Have you been looking for a business to start? An easy way
that you could make some fast cash? Have you been wanting
your own painting business but you don't want to quit your
job and possibly go broke?
Have you considered a painting business where you could do
some small side-jobs each month to make your house payment
and pay the bills? Maybe you are looking for something
better, but hey, this is a good start profit-wise!
Maybe you are mostly working at home right now and you
could use an extra $1,000 a month to pay the bills so you
can continue to work at home the rest of the time.
If so, listed below are three great ways that you can start
your own painting business and make some red-hot immediate
income on the side. This is also a great way to learn the
trade before going into it full time.
I started my own house painting business in 1991. Since
then I have learned quite a bit about interior and exterior
painting. I also learned quite a bit about drywall repair.
If you know how to get customers and how much to charge,
the rest can be learned as you go. When I first started out
I ate quite a few jobs because I didn't know how much to
charge.
Today I can actually make more money in a day and a half
painting than I did all week long at my last regular
full-time job. And it's fun to be able to relax and enjoy
your work knowing that you are going to get paid well for
it.
I have listed below three easy to start, low-cost
businesses that revolve around my painting trade. Each one
can make you a quick $300 - $500 for just a few hours work
and over a thousand a week if you wish. The reason I write
about these 3 businesses listed below is because I know
them and they make me money. These are 3 proven moneymakers
that you too can specialize in.
#1 Residential/Commercial Painting Business: If you love to
paint this is a handy service you can render for the busy
homeowner and business owners as well. Many wives won't let
their husbands go near a paint brush. Many customers hate
to paint and would rather pay someone else to do it for
them. I started my painting business with just a few basic
painting tools and a beater car. My business over the
years has given me good immediate income whenever I need it.
#2 Faux Painting Business: If you like faux painting, you
can take on small jobs here and there. Get yourself some
basic faux painting tools and a 2' x 3' sheet of plastic to
practice different patterns on and you will get the hang of
it fast. If you like this type of painting business you
could get small one or two-room jobs per week and make a
thousand dollars per week even. Faux painting offers high
profit margins if you get good at it.
#3 Drywall Repair Business: Drywall repair goes
hand-in-hand with a painting business. You can easily
charge $300 - $500 doing simple small repairs like water
damage and texturing.
As an example, I just finished a small repair job for a
total of $335. It took me an hour and a half the first day
and the second day took 6 hours. Not too bad a wage for
only 7 1/2 hours work. $10 of the money went for gas,
another $3.50 for a roller cover because I painted it up
one fast coat. I used maybe $2 worth of drywall compound in
the quick-dry formula. So I netted about $320 or $40 per
hour labor.
You may also get small jobs hanging sheets of drywall. A
customer might have a basement or garage that they need
drywall hung in. They will want you to tape and finish it
as well. You will most likely get asked to do the painting
also and this can double your profits.
So there you go. 3 easy low-cost, time-proven ways you can
start a painting business or painting-related business. All
of these variations can be started for less than $500. If
you did just one small job a week it could mean an extra
$300 - $500 or $1200 - $2,000 a month extra income.
