This is the next job we’re starting in the morning. A few of you know the place, perhaps you’ve even napped on this swing.

It’s gonna need a little fixing first, but we’ll get it looking good. That brings me to my quandary for you this evening: I’m trying to think of a name for my paint company.

So far we keep coming back to “Revival Painting.” I don’t want to sound bibical, but “revival” is the very word for some new wood, a couple cases of caulk and a few buckets of paint. It’ll look like a new house.

Ashley really likes “Revival Painting.” I agree that it has an edge. But I’m afraid that in a business where things are so word-of-mouth, people won’t see the presentation. But they will hear “Revival” and write it off as “bible belt.” They’ll think they’re calling the handyman with his truck sleeved in 17 bible verses. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose. But that’s not my truck.

This house needs to washed and redeemed from a terrible spray job. Just look at that gutter, it looks like a t shirt. The job didn’t last, needless to say. Those guys were long gone before it dried.

But I do like “Revival Painting.” It has a punch. Revival is what some old boards need. They also need a few replaced.

So I’m asking you. Do you like Revival Painting? If you just heard the name what would you think? And Dustin, can you make it look cool?
Feel free to give us ideas.
My other idea was “Rusty Ray Shawn Restoration.” Say it fast. It’s like saying the same thing twice. Here’s Knox, or “Shawn,” from the last house.

Rusty Ray Shawn Restoration. Paint it done, paint it right now.

I think Revival. But let me think on it more.
Levon said:
i like it too. and though ashley does have good taste, she isn’t the best salesperson. so we thought we should open it up for discussion

You’re over thinking it. And I’d say it would be better to potentially be called biblical rather than gimmicky. And whoever doesn’t think fondly of a revival, I’m gonna go ahead and say you don’t want as a customer. Now I’m over thinking it. Dangit.

i over think everything. thanks for reminding me to loosen up
Shelia said:
I’m with Ashley! Definitely REVIVAL ….and why would you not want it to sound Biblical!
God REVIVES people and YOU revive their houses!!!
Levon said:
and i think we could get the graphic design aspect of it to make it feel fresh and not stuffy
Rebekah Campbell on Facebook said:
I do like the play on words Rusty Ray Shawn but its wordy and I don’t think most people will get it. Maybe it could be incorporated as a tag line somewhere. Is there a third option?
Levon said:
not currently, any ideas from over there at grace acres?

I bet Dustin could give it a great logo.

i’m thinking a very bluegrass yee-haw ish feel

REVIVAL PAINTING — Bringing the look of your home back to life
(Or something like that) However, if you don’t like “Revival”, you might play around with “Restoration” or “Renewal”
Melinda said:
OK, one more: I was just studying to teach and ran across this that made me think of you: REGENERATION — meaning: renewal, revival, restoration

you’re good at this. brainstorming away…
