Think of everything you need to start your own painting business. The training. The brand. The website. The customers. The subcontractors. The paperwork.

Stop working for The Man. Start working for yourself.
With Main Street, you don’t have to make much of a financial investment upfront. You don’t even have to quit your job until you start seeing returns, which may be in a few days, a week, or a month. Your business can be profitable a hell of a lot sooner than the traditional way, and you don’t have much to lose.
We're calling bull on franchises. An upfront capital cost of $100,000. 18+ months to profitability. Months of paperwork and bureaucratic nonsense. And NO support from the corporate overlords? One word — exploitation.
Main Street charges $5000, not $100,000. We handle all the administrative tasks, training, marketing, lead generation, and team building. And we provide a path to profitability in a few weeks, not years.
Main Street is an all-inclusive tech-based business management platform. It’s the only platform you’ll ever need to start and scale your painting business.
Our secret sauce is our state-of-the-art lead generation engine. You don’t get random leads — you get actual customers.
Once you’re up and running, Main Street simplifies the day-to-day running of the business.
The math is simple. Six jobs a week is a million a year in revenue.
"We have been using Main Street Estimation for about four months now and can not believe how much time and energy we are saving."

A 6-step guide: From setting up your painting business to earning your first revenue.
The Main Street training is more than just videos — it’s a proven playbook to succeed in the painting industry. We’ve worked with the biggest experts in the painting industry to build a 3-week virtual training.
Week 1: The technical and sales skills you need to run a painting business
Week 2: Working with painters and managing jobs
Week 3: Managing finances, building a team, and growing the business
“I love paperwork” — said no owner ever. There’s a ton of administrative tasks that get the business up and running. You don’t have to get hassled with any of it. You submit a list of documents that go into our backend system. And you have all the paperwork you need to get started — business registration, licensing, LLC, insurance, etc.
Building a brand is one of the hardest parts of starting a business. Who has the time or money to think about branding — logos, design, website, etc. We also send you branded gear — t-shirts, 5-in-1 painter’s tool, yard signs, business cards, door hangers, etc — at no extra cost. With Main Street, you get to build your website — and your brand — within days.
Finding the customers is the biggest hurdle to running a successful business. We’ve built a marketing engine that finds leads from a ton of different sources — Home Advisor, Thumbtack, Google, Yelp, etc. It doesn’t just stop there. It actually evaluates all these leads, and chooses the best ones. These selected leads then go to a US-based call center, which screens them for you and books appointments. So when a lead comes to you, it’s already an interested customer — with an appointment on your calendar.
The painting industry isn’t super sophisticated — 75%+ businesses don’t even have a website.
That’s why Main Street focusses on a WOW experience. You go to the customer’s house. You blow them away with our estimating and invoicing software. You book the job. And our Payments Engine makes your customer feel like they’re working with a Fortune 500 company.
Once you’ve booked the job— and the customer has paid in advance— you can use our Labor Management Tool to find experienced and reliable painters. With the touch of a button all local painters in the area will be notified about your job.
