The wall gets painted. You never lift a brush.

Pigment is the managed marketplace that pairs homeowners, landlords, and offices with vetted painters — and brings in interior designers when the job deserves more than a fresh coat.

How it works

You sell the job. The network does the work.

Pigment sits in the middle of every project — acquiring the customer, vetting the pro, quoting the job, collecting payment, and guaranteeing the finish.

1

Request

Customer submits the space, scope, and timeline. We scope it and price it.

2

Match

We assign a vetted painter — and a designer if the project calls for one.

3

Coordinate

We schedule, manage the crew, and keep the customer updated end to end.

4

Guarantee

Customer pays one invoice. We pay the pros and stand behind the finish.

The upgrade

From a paint job to a design contract.

A one-room repaint is a transaction. Add a designer and it becomes a project — bigger ticket, longer relationship, and a coordination margin baked into the middle.

Start with the walls. End with the room.

Designers spec the vision but don't want to manage trades. Customers want the finished look but don't know how to brief a crew. Pigment is the missing layer between them — and that layer is where the margin lives.

The same $1,900 repaint becomes a $6,300 contract once a designer scopes color, an accent wall, and trim detailing. Pigment collects one invoice, pays the painter and designer their agreed rates, and keeps the coordination spread.

The business model

Own the customer, not the trucks.

The money isn't in holding the brush — it's in owning the customer and the coordination. The crews already own the gear, so startup is essentially a website, a phone number, and customer acquisition.

~50%

Gross margin

Typical spread on a managed service paint job before overhead.

15–30%

Net margin

Room to pay every pro and still cash-flow the business.

$0

Equipment cost

No trucks, no brushes. The network brings its own gear.

Engine one

Managed jobs

High margin, high touch. You coordinate everything and keep the full spread. Best while you're small and building reputation — every job is a referral and a review.

Engine two

Network take-rate

Lower touch, scales without you. Once flow is steady, charge a commission per booked job or a monthly membership for lead access — and let the network run the work.

Why it holds

The moat is the relationship.

Vetted pros

Every painter and designer is screened before they touch a job.

🔁

Recurring B2B

Property managers and offices repaint on a cycle — recurring revenue gold.

🛡️

Guaranteed finish

Pigment stands behind the work, so the customer never carries the risk.

Owned brand

Customers come back to Pigment — not to whichever crew showed up.
