AI ads for painters: what to say and how to start

Who this guide is for

Residential and commercial painting contractors who want quote requests for interior, exterior and cabinet painting jobs.

3 ad angles to test first

Sample ads written for this guide. Replace the [brackets] with your own details, prices and dates.

1. Angle 1

   Interior repaint

   Room repaints are frequent and easy to quote.

   Sample headline

   Fresh walls in [number] days

   Sample primary text

   Furniture moved, floors covered, two coats and a clean-up before we leave. Interior painting in [area]. Ask for a written quote.

2. Angle 2

   Exterior before winter

   Weather sets a deadline for exterior work.

   Sample headline

   Book exterior painting before [month]

   Sample primary text

   Exterior repaints need dry weather. Get your quote now and secure a slot before the season ends.

3. Angle 3

   Kitchen cabinets

   Cabinet painting is a high-margin alternative to new cabinets.

   Sample headline

   New-look kitchen, same cabinets

   Sample primary text

   Sprayed cabinet finishes that look factory-made, for far less than replacing. See our recent kitchens and request a quote.

Suggested starting setup

Objective: Lead form

Ask for job type, number of rooms or size, and a photo. Photos let you quote without a visit for smaller jobs.

Start with all three angles in one ad set at a small daily budget for 5-7 days, then keep the angle that brings the most leads and make a fresh campaign around it.

Tip for painters: Show your own finished rooms; avoid stock interior photos, which make your ads look like everyone else's.

Mistakes to avoid

• ×Stock interior photos that look like every other painter's ads.
• ×No timeline in the copy, when "how long will it take" is the first question.

Tunsource returns a campaign: 6 ads in 3 sizes (feed 1:1, feed 4:5 and story 9:16), each with a hook, headline, primary text, link description and button, plus a short vertical video ad script. You edit every word, then download the images and copy.

• ✓Photo Studio to clean up a phone photo of your real work or product
