Recommended Books?
Been looking for a good book or two that could further educate me. More info on estimating, running a painting business, ect ect ect.
I've seen a few mentioned here & there, but when looking around online the reviews always chase me away. Then again who knows who's writing the reviews? So to those who have read them all, what are some really worth while books to read & what do they offer? Thanks. |

Books?
Check these out: Effective Business Planning for Painting Contractors, The Business of Painting, Marketing for Painting Contractors, Estimating Guide - Rates and Tables, Professinal Estimating Procedures. All of these can be found at the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America website. www.pdca.com I highly recommend them all. Hope this helps.
