When it comes to growing a painting business, one number matters more than most: gross profit.

In this special crossover I sat down with Adam Sylvester, host of Jobber’s Masters of Home Service Podcast and Megan Schumann, owner of Top Tier Plumbing, to break down how service business owners can get serious about profitability.

🧠 Here’s what we cover:
• Why 50% gross profit should be your goal — and how to hit it
• How job costing helps painting contractors fix profit leaks
• Smart pricing strategies that support growth and prevent burnout
• Whether piece rate pay makes sense for your crews
• Why vendor relationships and paint reps matter more than you think
• Bonus systems that drive efficiency (without micromanaging)

Whether you’re just starting to track your numbers or ready to build systems that grow your painting company, this episode will help you stop guessing and start scaling with confidence.
