Market Overpsray Removal

[doged]

There is good money in Overpsray Removal so I’m effectively pursuing some kind of marketing for painting contractors. I don’t want to work with the insurance agency’s for the various reasons. One road block painting contractors don’t have addresses in the YP.

Any ideas how to mass market?

I agree with you about working with insurance agencies. Great way to not get paid for 90-120+ days. I learned the hard way early on. Either the company pays me directly or the person with the overspray on their car pays and gets reimbursed by the company or I don't do the work. Just not worth busting my butt working all day and then not get paid until the following quarter.



How much experience do you have with overspray removal? How about concrete? If you really haven't done much overspray removal, you might want to think twice about marketing directly because you may find it is very tedious work. Actually, I pretty much hate doing it. Pretty seasonal too, mostly spring work around here because the wind blows constantly from mid February to the end of May.



Why not advertise in one of their trade publications?

I have a worker that’s good at it and I’ve done several myself. The problem for me is the black trim & plastic? I have been able to make some good money on overspray just recently and also in the past. After speaking to a Paint Contractor, it appears a big problem. Contacted the painters union but they are weak and have no trade publication. I have never thought about concrete, that must be a mess.
