In this Episode:
Commercial and residential painting projects can get tricky when you only add a new coat of paint and call it a day. With most repainting, you have to go beyond the first layer and check whether the wood or drywall is still able to support the new coat or if it has started to root due to mildew or the structure’s age. Greg Owens, owner of McCarthy Painting, seeks to provide his clients with an experience that aligns with their desire for clean walls, convenient planning, and a relationship with painters built on trust.
In this week’s episode, Greg Owens gets interviewed by John Corcoran of Rise25 in his own show about the history of McCarthy Painting and the purpose of pre-planning with clients and traders who hire them to work on a project. Greg also talks about the necessity of building a coherent team, working with clients and their schedules and budget, and how to best ensure smooth logistics and coordination when working on a painting project. Stay tuned.

How are they going to operate efficiently with workers coming and going, the public coming and going, let’s start with logistics around when to do the work. How do you tackle that initial concern?
Greg Owens 2:40
Yeah, it’s a big concern, the logistics of when and how the painting is going to take place inside somebody’s building, because you got and you got to think about this a little bit in that each building can be completely different. So we have like, if it’s a if it’s a, if it’s a building in San Francisco, and it’s got mixed, use Whereas like there’s, there’s software companies may be on the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth floor, and there’s retail stores on the bottom floors, right. So we really have to, like, consider all of those constituents inside that building.
John Corcoran 3:17
And so it’s really a different approach if it’s retail versus mixed use for this commercial.
