Handling Seasonality in a Painting Company
Painting is seasonal in most of the country. Exterior work peaks in spring and fall. Winter slows down.
Sell Interiors for Winter
Past exterior customers are good interior prospects.
Cabinets in the Off-Season
Cabinet jobs are interior and high-value, perfect for winter.
Commercial Accounts Smooth the Year
Property managers turn units every month. See Unit Turnovers.
Book the Busy Season Early
Send exterior estimates in late winter. Follow-ups chase them while you are busy.
Plan Crew Size
Know your backlog before hiring for the season.
