Immaculate Painting and Construction, LLC,has been in business for 15 years. They provide commercial painting and restoration services to commercial clients in Galveston and Houston, Texas.
Owner Juan Carcaño recently began using the Sherwin-Williams PRO app to start ordering paint and supplies online. We sat down with him to find out how it has been helping his business.
How did you decide to try Buy Online?
I was receiving the emails from the store which caught my attention at first but I honestly was hesitant at first. I was afraid no one was going to read the orders and our material would never get out together. Boy, was I wrong!
Were there any specific day-to-day challenges you hoped it would help solve?
Looking back at orders, pulling old invoices and forwarding customers specific paint colors have all been a challenge for years. This app has made that extremely easy, all you do is look for the P.O. or job and – BAM – it’s all right there!
How has online ordering helped to make your day easier?
I get up really early and I like to get some work done before my phone starts ringing. This definitely helps line things up for the day.
Would you recommend it to other painters?
Definitely! Streamlining your business in turn makes you more profitable – that’s my motto. The Sherwin-Williams PRO app does just that with ordering. Also, it helps tremendously with estimates. If you know what you need for a specific bid, you can simply input the quantities and create a budget. This helps gives you a grasp on quantities consumed versus quantities estimated, therefore making you a better estimator.
