Winter, for many, is a time of reflection. For business owners, it’s a time to take stock of the past year, celebrate your successes, review what went well, what you could’ve done better, and start making plans for how you’re going to improve and build your company in the next year.

Maybe you’re thinking about adding new services or expanding into a new market. Maybe you’re looking at hiring more painters, estimators or support staff, or taking new approaches to retaining your top workers. Maybe you’re thinking about increasing your color consulting skills or building your management chops by attending industry events like the PCA Expo.

Wherever you’re heading, we’ll be here by your side as we have for the past 35 years with timely product and industry news, business-building ideas and, in general, to celebrate the professional painting contractor and the valuable contribution you are all making to your communities and our world. Here’s to moving onward and upward in 2026!
