[The paint whisperer]

Did you get more calls in the Fall?

For the passed three years, when Fall came, I got so many calls.
Everyone wants his/her house painted before the Winter.
Do most of you getting very busy in the Fall?

I ussualy get a lot of late calls for exteriors, but in New York it is scary with the weather so I stop taking them on after Nov.15 I am starting my last ext Monday and it will take me through about the second of Nov. I have one more I might do if the weather forcast is good for another 10 days or so.
I do get a boost in Nov. with a lot of interiors ,people getting ready for the hollidays.
All in all I am a bit slow compaired to the last 3 years.
BPTL.

There's always a jump in last minute calls just when it's getting to cold to do them

Yes, the calls are flooding in...but a lot of folks are fine with waiting until the spring, so spring is looking good already..now if this pesky thing called winter would come and go....I'd be much better, lol

Same here... lots of exterior stuff now.

We just got two calls to finish homeowner exterior projects that they couldn't finish(the high stuff). Another where the painter took half down and hasn't been seen for three weeks. He did a little scraping, no primer, and started spraying the wrong color on 1/3 of the house. Every window has been masked for three weeks!

Sounds like a painter that gives us all a bad name.
