Business Name
Mint Painting
Location
St. George, UT
Colton built Mint Painting in the small market of St. George, Utah, and grew it from a side hustle to $1.5M+ while keeping his crew small and his freedom big—by staying lean, charging what he’s worth, and building a business that works for him.

The Challenge

Colton was painting nights and weekends as a side hustle, pricing jobs too low and handling everything alone. He wasn’t sure how to scale in a small market.

The Solution

Colton raised his prices and changed how he sold jobs, focused on profitability instead of just growth, and got help with sales and production so he could work on the business. He built a simple but scalable structure and put his family and lifestyle first in every decision.

The Outcome

Colton grew Mint Painting to $1.5M+ with a lean team and healthy margins. He delegated sales and production, leads with clear structure, and built a business designed to serve the life he wants.
