Lightmen Consulting: Built by Painters, for Painters

Lightmen Consulting is a no-BS, boots-on-the-ground consulting service built for painting contractors who are tired of spinning their wheels and ready to build a real business — not just a job. Born out of the systems and lessons that made Lightmen Painting a well-oiled machine, our consulting arm exists to help you do the same.

We don’t do fluff. We deliver field-tested SOPs, industry-specific training programs, and monthly strategy sessions that get results. Whether you're solo and overworked or leading a team that's outgrowing your systems, we’re here to give you the clarity, tools, and direction you need to scale without burning out.

🔥 Tired of Being the Bottleneck in Your Own Business?

You didn’t become a painting contractor just to juggle emails, chase your crew, and guess your pricing.

But here you are — doing everything and still feeling like you’re behind.

That’s why Lightmen Consulting exists.

We’ve been through it: the feast-or-famine schedule, the lack of good help, the chaos of scaling without systems.

Now? We’ve cracked the code — and we’re handing you the blueprint.
