11 High-Impact Content Ideas for Painting Companies to Attract Better Clients

Want Better Leads? Start Creating Better Content

Content might not be the first thing painting contractors think about when growing their business—but it should be. At Taurify, we’ve worked with dozens of painting companies across the country, and one thing is clear: great content doesn’t just look nice—it drives real results.

Whether you’re looking to attract more high-end clients, gain trust in your market, or make your ads convert better, the right content can make it happen.

Here are 11 proven content ideas painting companies should start using right away.

1. Job Site Walkthroughs

A simple walk-and-talk video of you on a job site explaining what you're doing, what materials you’re using, and the client’s goals gives potential customers a glimpse of the experience they can expect.

🎥 Recommendation: Use a gimbal or tripod to stabilize your footage. Show both “before” and “in progress” shots for extra engagement.

2. Video Testimonials

Your words don’t sell your services—your clients' do. Ask happy customers to share their experience on camera. Their stories build trust faster than any sales pitch.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep it casual. Use your phone, prompt the client with simple questions, and capture it right after the job is done.

3. Job Site Storytelling

Go beyond just showing paint on walls. Tell the story of the homeowner—why they hired you, what problems you solved, and how it improved their life.

Real human stories create emotional connections with your audience and position you as more than “just a painter.”

4. Estimate Walkthroughs

Film yourself giving an estimate and explain what you look for, how you calculate pricing, and how your process works.

🎥 This builds transparency and makes prospects feel more comfortable before they ever pick up the phone.

5. Product Comparisons

Show why you choose one paint brand or finish over another. Whether it's Sherwin-Williams vs. Behr or matte vs. gloss, explain the pros and cons.

🖼️ Ideal Image: Side-by-side comparison photos or short video demos with clear lighting.

6. Live Product Testing

Take your comparisons a step further by testing products on camera. Show how different finishes hold up to scuffs, moisture, or cleaning.

Example: “Here’s how a gloss finish handles wear and tear in a high-traffic garage.”

This kind of content positions you as an expert, not just a service provider.

7. Team Introductions

People trust people. Introduce your crew—project managers, estimators, painters. A quick video or photo with a caption like “Meet Jose, our prep expert” goes a long way in building comfort and credibility.

📸 Post on your Instagram and tag employees for extra reach.

8. Estimate Breakdown

This is different from filming the estimate. Here, break down a real quote—materials, labor, timeline—so prospects know exactly what they’re paying for.

✅ This positions you as honest, open, and professional, which is crucial in local service industries.

9. Showcase All Services

Don't assume people know everything you offer. Create content that highlights interior, exterior, cabinets, drywall repair, popcorn ceiling removal, etc.

🖼️ Create a carousel post or a short video showing each service area with before/after clips.

10. Prep Process Footage

Want to look like the premium painter in your area? Show how seriously you take prep work. Taping, covering, sanding—it all matters to homeowners who care about protecting their space.

🎥 This kind of content signals professionalism and attention to detail—key triggers for high-paying clients.

11. Share a Personal or Customer Story

Stories resonate more than stats. Maybe you helped a family get their home ready for a big reunion. Or maybe one of your employees bought their first home because of their job with you.

Tell those stories.

✅ These posts humanize your business and create deep emotional connections.

Why Content Matters More Than Ever

Great content not only helps you stand out from cheap competitors, but it also makes every ad you run work harder.

When someone clicks your ad and lands on a page filled with impressive videos, reviews, and walkthroughs, they’re far more likely to call you—and pay more for your services.

Without good content, even the best ad strategy will struggle.
