My Story


I’m Kyle, founder of Blue Collar Growth Co., and before I ever coached a contractor, I built my own painting company —Paint CNY— from the ground up. What started with a sprayer, a ladder, and a willingness to figure things out turned into a $500,000+ run rate business in the first year.

I didn’t grow because I was the best painter in the world.
I grew because I built simple, effective systems that actually work in the trades:

  • Straightforward Facebook ads that bring in real leads

  • Fast, consistent follow-up that keeps homeowners engaged

  • Clear communication and a sales process that helps close more jobs

These aren’t theories or ideas from someone who’s never been on a job site.
They’re the exact systems I used every day while building Paint CNY.

I started Blue Collar Growth Co. for one reason: contractors shouldn’t have to figure all of this out alone. Most blue-collar business owners are amazing at their craft—but no one ever teaches them how to market themselves, nurture leads, or run a business with confidence.

That’s where we come in.

We help you set up simple ads, install proven follow-up systems, and learn the communication and sales skills that actually move the needle. My goal is to shorten the learning curve so you can grow faster, smoother, and without the stress I had to climb through myself.

Built by contractors, for contractors. That’s what Blue Collar Growth Co. stands for.
