What Is The Nicest Looking Painters Website?

Mr. Mike

Off the top of your head who has the nicest painting website you have seen at least as far as first glance goes?

I nominate Thinks,

We don't want to say much about anyone's in here unless they ask though.

Think favorites are based on each viewers perception. I tend to like the simple ones myself. You can overload a potential customer with too much with some of these. As a pro I do enjoy reading them and appreciate what it took to put them together.

Since the majority of my business is referral based I decided not to have a website. Any of my cold calls are usually based on my listing with the BBB, yard signs, and truck signs. As a 3 - 4 person outfit this works well for me and my clientele niche stays the same.

The other aspect of my business is insurance restoration, and I have one company that uses me exclusively so I guess that would be referral based also.

I suppose if I wanted to expand my company I would definitely look into a website, but as it is we are busier than we can handle.

I don't know, Mike but I gotta say that your custom home work looks masterful -- perfect lines on the trim, nice finish and solid walls. Very impressive, give me some pointers for millpacks.

I aint trying to piss in Mr.Mikes Kool-aid, but it all lools like pretty straightforward work to me. If you cant get your lines straight and your walls and trim to look nice then you shouldnt call yourself a painter.
Thats pretty much the problem I am having now while having my own website built, I have seen so many walls and so much trim that it all just looks the same to me anymore. I cant seem to find any pictures of my work that impress me, and like a genius I usually never take before pics, so even the ones I look back on fondly just look like the same old thing because I have no way to show people that it was a turd that I polished.
The pictures on Mr.Mikes website look good, dont get me wrong, I aint trying to say I am better or worse then the guy, it is just so boring. Hopefully the HO's wont find it boring, because it is pretty much the same kind of pictures that I will be using, but as a professional painter it all just bores the crap outta me.

It is a tough thing to learn the habit of taking before pictures. I carry a battery charger in the van and look like some Asian tourist on my yearly vacation through the client's house...

You got that right. I take a lot of before pictures then fail to follow through with the afters.
I also do it the other way around.

I agree. But I have seen bad millpacks, good millpacks, and great millpacks and I think Mr. Mike's are great. I am always working on making mine look as good as possible. I have a system that I use but I am always interested in what others do with their millpacks.


My basic system is to clean the entire area and mask the floors. Then I fill in all the holes and then caulk with a very small tip. Then I mask, and apply three coats of primer with a fine finish tip, filling holes, scratches, etc. in with automotive putty sanding between coats. Finally, I apply three coats of latex-based trim paint with a fine finish tip (2.08 or 3.08). I am just curious what other painters do on their millpacks, what type of tips, prime, paint, guns, etc. others use.

Mr. Mike

Thanks for the compliments on mine, I agree it is boring from one painter to the next. The Before is the hardest picture but I figure you don't need it on every job.

I said Thinks website because it is so colorful, I like that I have one page kind of like that, my color page.

Mike,
That's nice site, I enjoyed the pictures nice and clear, Being that I do repair allot of time it's a pain to get clear shots with all the dust. Did you pay to have that site set up for you? or did you do it yourself?


www.frankawitz.net

Mr. Mike

I paid dearly to have it all done, we take the pictures ourselves though, We let the dust settle before taking pictures now.

I used to live in Marietta and they get around that's for sure. I like the playing with the color feature they have.
