When Doug Caris bought Arizona Painting Company in 2014, it was a single location with 40 employees. Now, they have almost 300 employees across 5 locations, generating revenue of $2 million a month with margins up to 50%. How did Doug and his partners achieve this phenomenal growth? You’ll get the answer in this episode. 

Doug dreamed of owning his own business since he was a teenager. He got into the painting industry at age 20 after dropping out of college, and that proved to be the right path to achieve his goals. Within 7 years, he’d bought out the painting company with two friends, starting the growth journey that led to their current success.

Of course, that growth didn’t happen overnight. They had to unlearn some bad habits established by the previous owner before they could grow to the next level. In this interview, you’ll hear what those issues were and how Doug and his partners corrected them, along with the other tools and systems they implemented and Doug’s other tips for how to start a painting business the right way.
