Local Painting Company Aims to Improve Contractor Experience
Matt Lindner and his wife, Carly.
Finding the right contractor for a job can be frustrating, as many homeowners know. One of the biggest underlying issues is uncertainty, and some common complaints are lack of communication, confusing or inconsistent pricing, scheduling issues, and quality concerns.
When you finally find a trustworthy business with competitive pricing and quality work, it can feel like winning the lottery.
Matt Lindner of Peters Township had worked for PPG Paints and saw firsthand the issues that the industry faced. Too many customers were being disappointed. He saw a need in his community for a house painter with professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication, and he endeavored to fill that gap.
“ I always wanted to start my own business, to do my own thing in the community here. I saw the need with the painting and had some background knowledge of it,” he says.
Lindner decided to partner with Paint EZ, a national residential and commercial painting brand built on a franchise model. Local owners operate their own businesses, but have the advantage of using a shared system, brand, technology and business processes provided by the company. Owners and customers benefit from this model through streamlined communication, digital scheduling and approvals, clear pricing, and design tools.
Lindner’ s Paint EZ Pittsburgh – South Hills location is currently focusing on residential projects but plans to expand commercial services. He specializes in interior painting as well as cabinet painting, which has become more popular in recent years as a way to refresh the look of a kitchen without the cost of replacement.
As a small business owner, Lindner manages all the projects from start to finish. Customers have one point of contact and know they can reach him at any time with questions. He provides the estimate, then schedules and completes the work with the help of subcontractors.
When he is not on the job site, Lindner is in constant communication with his crew and customers, making sure that the job is staying on track.
And Paint EZ provides a warranty— a perk that not all painting businesses offer. A seven-year warranty is a rarity in the industry, demonstrating confidence in the durability of the work.
Lindner is particularly proud to be a part of Paint EZ’ s“ Rooms for Hope,” an initiative dedicated to giving patients battling cancer or a terminal illness a peaceful and calm environment in their home. Paint EZ partners with local organizations to provide free painting services to these families, transforming a room in their home and helping to bring comfort during a trying time.
As a South Hills native, Lindner understands the importance of community and notes that much of his business has come from word-ofmouth referrals. He also sources most of his materials from local paint stores, investing in the community that sustains his business.
