There are a lot of ways for a painting contractor to make additional money. At Captain Otto's Painting and Seafood, we have developed a number of unique ways to add to our bottom line.
1. We don't throw anything away. We leave everything right where it is when we are done with it. Empty paint cans require trash bags and such. Just leave them in the customer's yard.
2. Charge employees for shirts and hats, and make it a condition of employment that they wear them. This can actually be a reasonable profit center if you add some other rules, like shirts can't be more than 2 weeks old.
3. Digging through the customer's trash can result in some wonderful finds.
4. Set up a yard sale at the job site. This works best when you send the crew out scavenging through the neighborhood on trash day.
5. Volunteer your crew members for medical experiments. Not only is this a decent income source, it can also provide hours of entertainment.
