Painting & Handyman Franchisee Kenny Lee – A typical day for me includes issuing estimates for various jobs. After I finish my estimates, I usually go to check on my crews that are working on various jobs. Today I had various door jobs happening all at once.

Painting & Handyman Franchisee Kenny Lee – Right now, I have a year under my belt, and I’m going on to my second year. The hardest thing thus far are the things that are not in my control; for example, our human resources. It can be difficult to find good people. Finding good people is tough.
