Painting is a considered home improvement where homeowners accumulate motivation for weeks or months before calling. When they finally search for a painter and call, the decision to hire is already made -- they're in estimate-collection mode. That built-up intent makes inbound painting calls high-quality contacts who respond well to professional, same-day or next-day estimate follow-up. Close rates run 22-32% with prompt follow-up, which produces strong unit economics at average job values of $2,000-8,000.
