Location

Trent went from hungry and living in his truck to building a multi-million-dollar painting company. In 2024 he'll do over $4M with healthy margins and a fast-growing team. He's high-energy, ambitious, and has a lot to share.
The Challenge
Trent started with nothing, hungry and living out of his truck. Even at $2.6M, he was leaning almost entirely on residential repaints with a 100% employee model, just starting to test commercial work.
The Solution
He put a big focus on commercial painting, which drove huge growth. He stayed focused on dialing in operations at one location instead of expanding, and he networked relentlessly, tapping every resource he could find.
The Outcome
Trent grew to $4.2M at $500K+ in profit, with 32 painters and 7 staff. He added over $1.5M in commercial work and carried his company through Hurricane Helene in Asheville with zero layoffs. He's just getting started.
