In this insightful episode of the Profitable Painter Podcast, host Daniel Honan sits down with Chad Huber, owner of Casa Keepers and founder of the groundbreaking Painting Angels, for a deep dive into building a business rooted in culture, communication, and social impact.

Chad shares his unconventional journey into the contracting world, sparked by frustration with poor contractor experiences. His mission? To redefine professionalism in the trades by prioritizing low-stress, high-communication service, values now embedded in his $3M+ Texas-based renovation business. But his vision doesn’t stop there. With Painting Angels, Chad is tackling two crises head-on: the skilled labor shortage and economic barriers for single mothers. This all-female painting company isn’t just about flawless finishes, it’s about creating career pathways and transforming lives.
