Independent
Painting Crew
Organized, High-Paying Residential Repaints • Paid in 1–3 Business Days
Built for skilled 2–3 painter crews seeking organized, high-paying residential work without the bidding headache. Homeowners hire us for master quality, and we partner with proud, experienced crews to deliver it.
You Take Pride in Your Work.
You Deserve Projects That Respect It.
Most painters deal with the same frustrating cycle: prime contractors taking massive cuts, driving down pay rates to pennies on the dollar, unpaid scope creep with surprise project add-ons, and taking the blame for problems outside their control—all while having to wait 30 to 60 days just to see a paycheck.
Craftsman Painter was built to break that cycle. Homeowners and businesses hire us specifically because they want real craftsmanship done right the first time—not rushed production painting or cut corners.
We pair you with a dedicated Color Designer & Account Manager who scopes and pre-sells the job, provides crystal-clear work orders with exact color and sheen specifications, and we release your direct deposit within 1–3 business days of cleared customer funds (instant for card payments; standard 7–10 days for ACH), with upfront down payments unlocked for established partner crews.

How the Partnership Works
We handle the marketing, sales, design consultations, and pre-production. You lead flawless painting and on-site craftsman service.
Pre-Sold by Color Designers
Our Color Designers consult in homeowner spaces before you ever step foot on site. They specify exact paint codes, sheens, and architectural accents, eliminating mid-project delays.
Substantially Higher Pay
We believe in compensating craftsmen for high-end execution. Our project payouts significantly outperform typical prime contractor rates, allowing your crew to earn substantially more per week.
Prompt Payouts on Cleared Funds
No 30, 60, or 90-day waiting games. Your direct deposit is released within 1–3 business days of customer funds clearing (instant for card payments; standard 7–10 days for ACH transfers), with upfront down payments unlocked for established partner crews.
Zero Estimating or Chasing Leads
Stop driving across town giving free estimates or competing with lowball bidders. We handle all marketing and pre-qualify discerning homeowners so you just show up to paint.
Crystal-Clear Digital Work Orders
Every project arrives on your phone via Brush OS with exact room-by-room scopes, required surface prep, paint manufacturer codes, and pre-approved sheens.
Upfront Onboarding & Scope Protection
Your Account Manager handles the design, pricing, and client onboarding up front. Once on site, you lead the day-to-day project, backed by formal change order protection.
Flexible Schedule Gap Filling
Maintain 100% independence. Accept pre-scoped projects on your terms to smoothly fill open weeks in your calendar between your own private client jobs.
