Every year there are a handful of events that quietly shape where the exterior cleaning industry is heading. This is one of them. Stain and Seal University is not just another training class. It is a focused business and technical experience built around one of the highest margin add on services available to pressure washing and soft washing contractors today. Wood staining and sealing is no longer optional knowledge. It is becoming a core growth lane for contractors who want more control over revenue and seasonality.
On March 4th and 5th 2026 contractors from across the country will gather in Lebanon Tennessee to learn the systems and processes that have built some of the most successful staining operations in the industry. We will be there alongside mySalesman at their booth having real conversations with contractors who are actively building or expanding this service inside their businesses.
Why This Event Matters for Pressure Washing and Soft Washing Contractors
If you already wash houses roofs and concrete you are closer to staining work than you think. You might have been on the fence about adding Staininig to your list of services. Most contractors fail at adding staining not because of demand but because of process.
Wood prep mistakes.
Pricing uncertainty.
Inconsistent bidding.
Poor scheduling.
This event is designed to eliminate those gaps.
Stain and Seal University focuses on the real world workflow of a staining business. You are not just learning how to apply product. You are learning how to sell it profitably and execute it consistently.
You will learn how proper wood prep and cleaning directly impacts stain performance and customer satisfaction. You will see modern staining and sealing processes that reduce callbacks and increase job consistency. You will dive into marketing and bidding strategies that position staining as a premium service rather than a discount add on. You will also learn how crews are managed and trained so staining does not become a bottleneck in your operation.
Why Contractors Looking to Grow Should Be in the Room
This is a hands on event. You are not sitting in the back of a ballroom watching slides all day. You are seeing demonstrations.
You are asking questions.
You are networking with contractors who are actively running profitable staining divisions inside their companies.
For pressure washing and soft washing contractors this is where the lightbulb moments happen. You start to see how staining fits into your existing customer base. You start to understand how to price it confidently. You start to realize that quoting and follow up systems matter just as much as technique. For a lot of contractors adding something like this allows you to reconnect with all of your past clients to remind them why you are the best and that you have a new services to offer.
That is exactly why we will be at the mySalesman booth talking with contractors about how quoting systems help remove friction from selling higher ticket services like staining and sealing. When pricing is clear and professional contractors close better jobs faster and protect margins.
How This Ties Back to Smarter Quoting and Business Systems
One of the biggest takeaways contractors discover after events like this is that skill alone does not scale. Systems do. Learning staining techniques without fixing how you quote, schedule, and follow up, will cap your growth.
That is where QuickQuote and mySalesman fits into the conversation. We are not just talking software. We are talking about building a quoting system your team can run without you. We are talking about presenting staining as a premium professional service from the first interaction. We are talking about speed clarity and consistency when demand increases.
If you are attending Stain and Seal University stop by the mySalesman booth and say hello. We will be there to talk shop answer questions and help you think through how staining fits into your current pressure washing or soft washing business.
If you are serious about growth this is the room you want to be in and these are the conversations that move businesses forward.
