How to Scale a Painting Business Past $1M in 2026 (Without Being on Every Job Site)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If your painting business can't run without you, you don't have a business. You have a job.
Adam McChesney sits down with Chris Moore, founder of Elite Business Advisors, to break down exactly how painting contractors go from overwhelmed owner-operators to running a scalable business with a real leadership team and hitting $1M+ in revenue without being on every job site.
Chris has coached painting contractors across North America since 2018, released 250 straight weeks of podcast episodes, and built a firm with 8 advisors. He knows exactly where contractors get stuck — and how to fix it.
What we cover:
- How to systematize your painting business so it runs without you
- The leadership team every contractor needs to break past $1M
- Why a 50% gross profit margin is the benchmark — and how to hit it
- Sales and estimating strategies that close more jobs faster
- The coaching framework that pays for itself within 90 days
- How to transition from residential repaints into commercial work
