Painter-ToGo Uses Do-It-Yourself Model to Help Clients Save Money

Austin, TX, July 16, 2014 --(PR.com)-- How it works: Painter-ToGo provides the client with loaner equipment. Then, crew members work side-by-side with customers as a novel way to beat the high cost of contract painting. The more the client contributes to the project, the less the client will pay. This business model makes it possible for their experienced painters and builders to do their best work and still offer the best deal in Austin.

"I teach my children to share and I lead by example,” said Painter-ToGo founder Mark Valentine. “The math behind the savings is pretty straight-forward. Our lead painters work by the hour. So, if a project takes ten man-hours and the client puts in five of those hours, they have just earned a 50% discount for a professionally managed job. The more you do, the more you save.”

Plus, working with an experienced professional tends to be more motivating than working alone, at home.

"You’ve got the Lead Painter who knows exactly what to do and the homeowner who cares about their house,” said Painter-ToGo co-founder Mark Hansen. “Working together, the two can knock out a ton of high-quality work in a very reasonable amount of time.”

Painter-ToGo employees are experienced painters and builders who have undergone a comprehensive training program to meet the company's strict "Measures of Excellence." For instance, crew members must be able to color change two small bedrooms in one day. They are also skilled in prep-work, sheetrock repair, light carpentry, materials handling, texturing matching and even effective communication.
