Anthony Ford The Painter

  I here often from homeowners in Burlington KY that they cannot find painting contractors. Many complain they cannot even get painters to even show for quotes.   There are some reasons that the painting trade has these issues. I won't take the time to go into them in this article. But let's just say the trade has nothing to do with being able to run a successful business.  Many of these guys do their own work , and are maxed out 1 man or 2 man shows.

The best way to do this is to land interior painting jobs.  However , what I have found . Is that Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati residents are just not receptive to the service.  The ones who are , don't hold it to a value I feel my company's work is worth. The interior jobs I see being completed in this area are typically low low rate.  I'm talking 1.00 a square foot living space. Minimum wage.  Click the picture to learn about Kong Armor ™️ LIFETIME DECK ARMOR. - NEVER COMPLETELY PAINT OR STAIN YOUR DECK AGAIN   I went on my first interior painting bid for the 2021 season yesterday in Union KY.  A job that was about the equivalent of painting 5 bedrooms.
