Small-Job Days: Touch-Ups, Accent Walls and Patches in Route Order
Small jobs are where painting companies either make easy money or lose a day to driving. An accent wall across town is a losing job. Three accent walls and two touch-ups in one area is a good day.
Collect Them on the Waiting List
Small jobs and warranty touch-ups go on the Waiting List like everything else. Do not book them the moment they come in; let a few collect.
Group by Area
Look at the map. Select the small jobs in one part of town and assign them to one crew for one day.
Set Route Order
Set the order on the board or let auto-routing order them by drive time. The crew app shows them in that order with one-tap navigation.
Bring the Right Paint
Each small job shows its colors and sheen, so the crew can load the right cans in the morning. Touch-ups pull colors from the original job at the address.
Fill Gaps Next to Big Jobs
When a crew is finishing a big job early, a touch-up nearby fills the afternoon.
Price Small Jobs to Cover Travel
Set a minimum on small services so a twenty-minute touch-up still covers the trip.
