🏠 WE PROVIDE THE HOMEOWNER OPPORTUNITIES. YOU INSPECT, PRICE, PRESENT, AND CLOSE.
Orange County Painting Services is looking for one experienced residential exterior-painting professional who can manage the homeowner opportunity from the scheduled appointment through the complete sold-job handoff.
We currently have multiple homeowner appointments and exterior-painting opportunities moving through our pipeline, and we are actively generating more.
Many of our full-exterior projects may range from approximately $10,000 to $25,000, depending on the home’s actual size, condition, preparation, repairs, access, products, and scope.
This is not a painting-labor position.
You are not being hired to paint the house or manage the painting crew.
We need your exterior-painting knowledge, estimating judgment, homeowner communication, follow-up discipline, and ability to close.
📞 THE ROLE IN SIMPLE TERMS
OCPS generates and schedules the homeowner opportunities.
You will:
🏠 Meet the homeowner
🔎 Inspect and photograph the exterior
📏 Measure the paintable surfaces
📋 Create the complete scope of work
⏱️ Calculate realistic labor requirements
🧮 Give the homeowner the total price
📄 Prepare and present the proposal
🤝 Ask for the sale professionally
📲 Follow up until the homeowner makes a clear decision
✅ Submit the complete sold-job handoff to OCPS Operations
Once your complete handoff is accepted, OCPS Operations manages scheduling, production coordination, quality control, collections, and project completion.
You close it. We produce it.
Please look at this PowerPoint for more details.

🔥 THE MOST IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT
You must be able to inspect a residential exterior and create a complete, accurate, and usable estimate.
Your finished estimate must clearly identify:
✅ Every paintable surface
✅ Measurements or quantities
✅ Preparation requirements
✅ Repair requirements
✅ Access and ladder considerations
✅ Masking and property protection
✅ Products and coating recommendations
✅ Number of coats
✅ Realistic labor hours
✅ Clear inclusions and exclusions
✅ Total homeowner price
OCPS will use your written scope to schedule and produce the project.
Your estimate must be clear enough for our Operations team and painting crew to understand exactly what was sold.
We are not looking for someone who only walks around the property, takes photographs, and sends incomplete notes to the office.
We need someone who can turn the inspection into a complete scope, an accurate price, a professional proposal, and a homeowner decision.
🧰 WE PROVIDE THE ESTIMATING AND SALES TOOLS
You will not be expected to create an estimating or sales system from scratch.
OCPS provides:
✅ Scheduled homeowner opportunities
✅ PaintScout estimating software
✅ A simple pricing calculator
🌐 https://calculator.orangecountypaintingservices.com/
✅ Exterior inspection forms
✅ Scope-building checklists
✅ Pricing and margin guidelines
✅ Professional proposal templates
✅ Follow-up scripts
✅ Sales coaching
✅ Technical estimating support
✅ Operations and production support after the sale
No previous PaintScout experience is required.
If you already have a proven exterior-painting estimating method, you may use your experience and judgment.
Our PaintScout workflow and pricing calculator help organize the estimate, calculate the price, and prepare the proposal. This may allow you to give the homeowner a total price during the appointment when the scope is complete.
The tools make the estimating process simpler and faster.
Your exterior-painting experience makes the estimate accurate.
Every final estimate must be documented in the OCPS format so our Operations team receives a complete and usable scope.
✅ WHAT YOU WILL OWN
Your responsibility begins with a scheduled homeowner appointment and ends with a complete sold-job handoff.
You will:
🏠 Arrive on time and represent OCPS professionally
💬 Build rapport and understand what matters to the homeowner
👥 Confirm who is involved in the decision
🔎 Inspect every accessible exterior elevation
📏 Measure the paintable surfaces
📸 Take clear and complete photographs
🛠️ Identify fading, peeling, cracks, failed caulking, exposed wood, preparation, and repair needs
📋 Create the complete scope of work
⏱️ Calculate realistic labor requirements
🧮 Create the total homeowner price
📄 Prepare and present the proposal
🎨 Explain the preparation and recommended coating system
❓ Answer homeowner questions
🤝 Ask for the sale professionally
📲 Follow up until the homeowner gives a clear yes, no, or decision date
✍️ Obtain required signatures and authorized payment when legally permitted
✅ Submit the complete sold-job handoff the same day
If the homeowner is ready to move forward during the appointment, excellent.
If the homeowner needs more time, you continue following up and moving the opportunity toward a clear decision.
OCPS can support you with proposal review, follow-up planning, sales coaching, and technical estimating questions.
💰 COMPENSATION
You get paid two ways.
1️⃣ $50 per completed qualified appointment
You earn $50 for attending and completing the qualified homeowner appointment, even when the homeowner does not purchase.
2️⃣ 5% commission on projects you personally close
You earn 5% of the customer contract revenue OCPS collects from projects you personally close, including approved change orders.
Earnings examples:
💵 $10,000 collected project
Appointment pay: $50
Commission: $500
Total earnings: $550
💵 $15,000 collected project
Appointment pay: $50

Commission: $1,000
Total earnings: $1,050
💵 $25,000 collected project
Appointment pay: $50
Commission: $1,250
Total earnings: $1,300
Commission is paid after OCPS collects the corresponding customer revenue.
Your earning potential depends on your estimating accuracy, homeowner communication, follow-up, and ability to close.
OCPS is working toward approximately five to seven qualified appointments per week, depending on lead flow and your availability. Appointment volume and commission earnings are not guaranteed.
