Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

Back in the mid to late 1990's, we finally answered the demands of our clients who wanted small projects taken care of in a timely fashion. Like most companies, we wanted to stay busy doing the big stuff. We put our heads together and came up with the first Painter For a Day concept. Ever since we began the new program, we have not slowed down.

We have found one slight problem since beginning the Painter For a Day program and advertising on the web. It is very easy for competition to copy our great ideas. We have had 4-5 San Diego paint companies copy the name and in several cases, copy the exact text from our website. In the past year, a consumer will find those same companies offering the same exact program. It was hard to go and ask each company to change the name, but they all complied with little resistance. Now you will see things like, "Paint by the Hour," "Company Name For a Day" and "Hire Us For a Day." It just goes to say that the old saying is still quite true: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
