Solo Operator · 2-Van Operation
Mike Harrington was losing four months a year to cold calls.
Before PaintMatch, Mike ran a tight two-van operation in Denver's Cherry Creek corridor. His craft was impeccable — his calendar was not. Every November through February, he'd spend mornings on Angie's List, afternoons cold-calling property managers, and evenings wondering if the slow season would ever end.
"I was spending maybe twelve hours a week just trying to find the next job," Mike told us."That's time I could've been painting — or, honestly, just sleeping."
He applied for Denver's Central territory in September. By November — historically his worst month — he was booked through February.
I stopped chasing jobs. Now the jobs find me. Last quarter I turned down three because my calendar was full.

From homeowner request to qualified lead in your pocket — in under four minutes.
Most referral platforms sell the same lead to six contractors and let you fight for it. PaintMatch routes exclusively — your territory, your leads, your jobs.
Homeowner Submits Request
A homeowner fills out a 90-second intake form — project size, zip code, timeline, and budget range.
AI Qualification Engine
Our matching algorithm scores the request against 14 criteria — job size, travel radius, crew availability, and historical acceptance rates.
Partner Receives Ping
Matched partners get an SMS and app notification with full job details — address, scope, and homeowner contact — before any competitor sees it.
Partner Accepts — Job Locked
One tap accepts the lead. The homeowner is notified, the job is locked exclusively to that partner, and the calendar slot is confirmed.
The Numbers Behind the System
5-Crew Operation · Regional Scale
DeShawn Williams runs five crews across Atlanta. He used to spend every November dreading December.
At scale, the cold-season problem compounds. Five idle crews means five payrolls you're not covering. DeShawn was running promotions on Angie's List, taking jobs at margin he wouldn't normally accept, and still sending two crews home in January 2023.
He applied for Atlanta's Buckhead and Midtown territories in March 2024. By summer, his crews were booked eight weeks out. By winter — the season that used to hollow out his revenue — he was turning work away.
We used to lose forty percent of our revenue every winter. Last January was our best month on record — $187,000 in completed jobs.
The exclusive territory model is the difference. I'm not bidding against three other guys for the same job. It comes to me — I either take it or pass.
Your territory is waiting. Three minutes to apply.
Territories fill fast. We accept one primary partner per zip cluster — when yours closes, it closes. The application takes three steps and three minutes.
