My youngest son is a painting contractor. He has very little overhead and operates very lean. He is thriving as most of the larger contractors are folding up or cutting back.

good for him...but, tell him to keep his operation lean and an eye on the competition, because all those guys getting laid off will soon be his competitors...take it from a small businessman who is going lean, cutting staff and watching an explosion of small competitors...it will happen to us all..then the deflation spirals from an overheated competitive market will shred our working capital and we get slapped with the coming inflation...don’t get caught with any stock or excess baggage...

I have been saying that good painters and wall paper removers/installers are hard to come by.

We had to go to a paint store to pick up some names.
