Why Facebook and Instagram ads work for painting contractors
Painting transformations are dramatic and visual, perfect for before and after ads. Exterior painting is seasonal, while interior painting and cabinet refinishing can run year round.

Facebook Ads for painting contractors: questions
Is cabinet refinishing a good Facebook offer?
Yes, it is visual and higher margin.
When should exterior painting ads start?
A few weeks before the painting season.
How do I avoid price shoppers?
Show quality and process, and qualify in the form.
How much should painting contractors spend on Facebook ads?
For most local businesses I suggest starting at roughly $1,500 to $2,000 a month in ad spend for one main offer, adjusted for your market size and customer value. Management is a separate flat fee.
Send me your website and where you are now. I will look at your account or plan personally and tell you what I would fix first, even if the answer is that Facebook Ads is not your next step.
