Here’s a simple tip that your customers will appreciate years from now.

After painting a room, write the paint brand and its color code on the back of the light-switch plate before re-installing it.

This takes the home owner's guesswork out of having to match colors in the future — and my customers thank me for that extra attention to detail I provide.
