REVITALIZING YOUR HOME: MEET BRAD ASHBY, THE LEADER OF 360 PAINTING

Brad Ashby is the owner of 360 Painting, a home improvement company located in the Greater Nashville area that specializes in interior/exterior painting of residences and commercial properties, alike.

Despite his extensive experience in the hardware industry, Brad Ashby initially had no desire to get into painting and home improvement. Actually, he had spent 18 years traveling, doing sports broadcasting prior to owning 360 Painting. Inspired by the thought of having a business to pass on to his 13-, 11-, and 8-year-olds, and coupled with his knowledge of the industry, Brad finally decided that it would be a great investment. Presently, 360 Painting of Greater Nashville is a leader in their industry, but what differentiates them from others is they’re not limited to painting. They offer services such as pressure washing, wood repairs/carpentry, surface protection and cleanup. They’ve even done parking lot striping, as well.

360 Painting of Greater Nashville has clients that range from residential, to commercial, to municipal. They service some of the local universities, a preschool and some of the government buildings that you may have passed while traveling in the Greater Nashville Area.

Aside from being able to build several relationships in the past year that allowed him to expand into the commercial market, building a company that people can trust is what Brad considers to be his greatest professional achievement. He mentions his many 5-star reviews glowingly, but does so in a way that reads as more humble than braggadocious. Ironically, one of his greatest achievements (the growth of his company) has been one of his biggest challenges, as often proves true with business. For example, when you complete residential service, you get paid that day. When you do commercial work, you may have to wait 60 to 90 days to get paid for the work you do. Lingering invoices notwithstanding, the driving force behind the philosophy of 360 Painting is a true love of craftsmanship, quality work, and excellent service, not just turning a quick buck.

With this in mind, Brad Ashby has some words of wisdom for our readers regarding how to choose the right provider. “Vet a company first”, instructs Ashby. “Do your research”. Next, Brad states that people want a sense of confidence in their service provider, but most people make decisions based on price, and that may be counterintuitive to the objective. Simply put, the cheapest bid isn’t always the best bid. When it comes to your home, you want good quality work that lives with you, not work that you just have to live with.
