Your first three steps
- List property managers, HOAs and commercial landlords in your county and contact them with a clear response-time offer
- Put together a simple service agreement and price list covering call-outs, repainting and coatings

Who pays
Property management companies, shopping centers, apartment complexes, transit or utility contractors and local government bodies.
How it makes money
Monthly retainers or per-call fees, plus extra charges for repainting and protective coatings. Larger contracts may need a helper or second crew.
