Kirk from Cleveland Custom Coatings - Learn Enough About a Task to Delegate With Confidence
One of the first podcasts, Episode 3, to be exact - Kim interviews Kirk and reveals how they met each other in 2022 through their Business Networking International (BNI) chapter (True North Networkers in North Olmsted). Learn about Kirk Teets and Cleveland Custom Coatings - a commercial painting and residential painting company.
Lessons from Kirk Teets of Cleveland Custom Coatings
Although Kim and Kirk decided early in this podcast that they would not teach any lessons, Kirk of Cleveland Custom Coatings reflects on a few lessons HE has learned since starting his painting company in Westlake. Tune in to learn how Kirk got started, the secret to making the shift from a painter to a painting foreman to the owner of a painting company. And staying on theme, learn about some mistakes he has made along the way and how they have evolved his approach to running his business.
Cleveland Custom Coatings was incorporated in 2022, has quickly grown to 15 employees and is on-pace for 1.5 M in revenue for 2023.
Kirk's lesson: you don't need to do everything but you need to know enough to be confident that it's being done right.
Current Commercial Painting Project in Cleveland
The team is working on a project now for Cleveland Whiskey, a distillery in the Flats of Cleveland. The painters have already painted the interior and at the time of recording were actually painting some of the exterior windows and things that needed some extra curb appeal from the exterior. Happy to be involved in another project that restores the old beauty of the Cleveland warehouses, the painting crew at Cleveland Custom Coatings is ready for their next residential painting or commercial painting project.

WHY DOES A PAINTER START A PODCAST?
Kirk Teets owner of Cleveland Custom Coatings is passionate about helping other businesses. His venture with Cleveland Custom Coatings opened his eyes about the difference between being a great painter and running a great painting company. Less than 5 years into running his commercial painting business and expanding to cover residential painting services, Kirk is not only quick to identify areas he wish he knew more about before he started, he's also eager to help other new business owners through sharing stories of triumphs and failures.
His passion for helping others and spreading the abundance mindset led him to partner with a digital marketing company to start this podcast in order to learn enough about podcasting to help businesses launch their own podcasts at the Cleveland Podcast Production studios at the Cleveland Custom Coatings location.
