The easiest way to start is the way your own customers reach you: a call, a text or an email. There are no forms on this site, no booking widgets and no sales funnel. You'll talk to a senior strategist who works with painting companies, and if we're not the right fit, we'll say so.

How to reach us
Answer first: call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca.
- Phone: (604) 632-4959
- Text: (604) 632-4959, handy if you're on a ladder or in a client's home. One quick text between coats is enough; we'll take it from there.
- Email: Ali@Sedighi.ca
- Hours: Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific
- Replies: We usually reply within one business day.
The buttons on every page of this site connect straight to these. If you're in Ontario, Quebec or Atlantic Canada, remember the time difference: 9–6 Pacific is noon to 9 p.m. Eastern.
What to include in your first message
Answer first: four numbers and two sentences are enough to make the first call useful.
- Your services: interior, exterior, cabinets, decks, commercial, strata.
- Your service area: the cities or regions you want work in.
- Your average job value, even a rough figure.
- Last season's estimates and signed jobs, or your best guess.
- Your crew count and when they were short of work.
- What you've tried before, and what happened.
A template you can copy
Hi, this is [Your name] from [Business name]. We paint [interiors/exteriors/cabinets/commercial] in [City or region]. Our average job is about $[amount], and last year we ran about [number] estimates and signed [number]. Our crews were slow in [months]. We'd like to talk about [local search/ads/follow-up/strata work]. Best time to reach me is [day and time].
Change anything you like. The point is to give us enough to come to the call prepared.
What happens next
Answer first: a conversation, then a written plan, then a decision that is entirely yours.
- We reply, usually within one business day, to set a time for a 30-minute call.
- The call: we ask about your numbers, your season and your goals, and tell you honestly what we would do first.
- A written plan if there's a fit: priorities, timeline, costs and what we'll report on.
- Your decision. No pressure, no countdown offers. Plans are month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel.
If what you need is something you can do yourself, we'll point you to the right guide instead.
What we can and can't help with
Answer first: we help with marketing and business growth, not painting work.
We can help with being found online, ads, websites, estimate follow-up, strata and commercial positioning, pricing strategy and seasonal planning. See the full list of services.
We can't help with painting itself. We are not a painting contractor, so we don't quote jobs, recommend crews to homeowners, supply paint, or give safety, legal or code advice. If you're a homeowner looking for a painter, we're not the right contact, and we don't refer jobs.
If you're comparing several marketing companies
Answer first: ask every one of them the same three questions.
- What will you report each month, and does it include estimates booked and jobs signed?
- Who will own the website, Google profile and ad accounts if we part ways?
- What are the cancellation terms, in writing?
Our answers are on the FAQ page. Whoever you choose, insist on clear answers to all three before you sign anything.
Before you get in touch
If you'd like to prepare, three pages are worth a few minutes:
- Pricing, including a worked check of whether a plan is affordable for your size
- Results from our HVAC work, and what transfers to painting
- About us, including who leads the work
Painting.Marketing is part of the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group, headquartered in Vancouver, BC, and works with painting companies across Canada.
Frequently asked questions
What is the quickest way to reach you?
A call during Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific. If you're on a job site, a text works just as well. We usually reply within one business day.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. We meet painting owners in person or on a video call, and phone, text and email work just as well anywhere in Canada.
What happens after the first call?
If there's a fit, we send a written plan with priorities, timelines and costs. Nothing starts until you agree to it in writing.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. For eligible trades businesses, the opening 30-minute conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
