John Evans started EverLine Coatings in his backyard fresh out of college. From these humble beginnings, his pavement maintenance and road painting business has grown to nearly 100 franchise locations across the US and Canada, with a total revenue of $2.8 million a year. In this video, you’ll learn how this entrepreneur launched such a successful franchise from scratch.
EverLine coatings wasn’t John’s first venture into entrepreneurship. While still in college, he joined the College Pro Painters program and became one of their top performing painting franchisees. The lessons learned from that experience set him up for fast growth when he ventured into the pavement and line striping industry with EverLine.
John chose the line painting and pavement maintenance industry because he saw there was a lack of well-branded, professional companies in this space. In this interview, he’ll share how he identified this as a niche with tons of growth potential, along with his advice for other entrepreneurs looking for a business where they can satisfy an unmet demand.
While he’s successful now, John still had his setbacks and failures. He lost tens of thousands during his first year with College Pro and had other struggles along the way. He’ll explain why these kinds of failures are necessary for growth and how he bounced back from his mistakes to build EverLine into a thriving, scalable business.

Lying to your potential customers. Great advice!
Been a quiet supporter of Mr. Evans for nearly 2 decades now. I'm so happy that John's drive, determination and brilliance is shared with such a wider audience now. Those that knew/know John from 'back in the day' are not one bit surprised by his growth rate or sucess. I absolutely love to watch Everline grow with pride. Even as one of those first "friends" that were using the google docs sheets to make some of those first gorilla marketing calls. All thr congratulations in the world John!
Thank you for sharing your incredible journey with John! Glad to see some of John's friends who had witnessed his humble beginnings 🙏
Nice to see a dude who isn’t a sweaty gypsy in this space, would 100% give him my business if I had a lot that needed services
This is so awesome! Congrats on all your success, John - you’re killing it. 👏
Thanks for the support! 🙏
Would like to see an HVAC business. I appreciate your videos. I've been subscribed and watching since the views were only a few 100 per video. Now this channel is almost to 1 million subscribers and doing several 100,000 views per video. Some videos even have a million. The channel itself is a great example of entrepreneurship. Never giving up! I really appreciate that you guys show us businesses that are overlooked and aren't looked at as glamorous. Alot of videos pretty much focus on the "sexy" businesses.
best episode in this series . thanks for this information🤗😇
Such an interesting episode! ⭐️
Most Important part to starting any business is finance. How to get the capital to kickstart your idea 💡. I personally went through hell starting my business operation few years ago. Moreover, it also very difficult to pay for marketing and advertising, which are crucial for attracting customers. All thanks to a local lender that got me approved for $500k business loan and my business took a turn ❤. Thanks for sharing your story with us John
Without capital in hand 😂 no idea 🤷♂️
Is this local lender you mentioned still funding business ?
My LLC was acquired at a loss and is now out of business. Banks are not lending me due to my poor business credit. I want to get back in operation
You right, finance first
Wish you can provide more information on how to directly reach the lender.
Great stuff, I work for a Canadian Division of the company Everline, and line painting is good work.
Very informative episode.
Any business can make money, and it's having an understanding of how to implement a business model. You have to understand the business. What is the problem you are trying to solve? Having employees is overhead, and you have to know what the process looks like. The biggest hurdle when starting a small business is understanding how to scale it in such a way that is not too aggressive but aggressive enough to take it to the next stage. There's a lot involved here. So, when you get these videos that glimmer the $27 million dollar businesses just understand majority of the people need help to make it that big.
That's absolutely true! Understanding the business thoroughly is key before making it big.
I do this for work! I’m going to do this as a side hustle
Love this channel, very motivational, keep making more content.
Hello friend's, I appreciate your information it's good to know all those things that could happen, am about to start up my cargo van business, thank you so much!
That's awesome! Best of luck! 👊
Wow this business really took off. Congratulations John
It did! Hopefully, you learned a thing or two from John himself! 🙌
10% of a 15% deposit for material? looks like very healthy margin! excellent decision as to scale the business!
I certainly had never thought of such a business...very interesting indeed. I was thinking, it would also be nice to see some sort of aviation services business, such as a mechanic or logistics service...not something I know anything about but would be interested in seeing that sort of business featured. Best wishes and happy Samhain, love from Scotland
Thanks for watching and greetings to Scotland! You have some great suggestions... Will definitely keep in mind! ☺️
Great Video
Fantastic Episode 👌
Glad you enjoyed it! Were you inspired to start your biz?
Yes sir @@UpFlip
Love it! Right on!❤
Appreciate the support! 🙌
love it!
Glad you did! Are you interested in this type of biz?
Yay my favorite interviewer is back :)
Yay! Don't miss out on his other interviews! We've had quite a few since he came back! ☺️
@@UpFlip I've already seen them lol but I never said yay yet 😂
i work at a warehouse for a large company that uses someone if not your company I ive always said Ill do that job for 50% less than whatever the current BID is, how do you BID on jobs for large companies? Especially when you work for them, and may have that inside knowledge of what they need and how large there budgets are, its insane how much they pay for little things performed by 3rd party contractors.
You should make a painting business video
Good video
Boom!!! Facts!!!
We hope you enjoyed and learned a lot from the video - thank you for watching! ☺️
Literally what I’m looking into rn thanks for this
That's timely! Are you planning on franchising? How's it going?
Eeeeeek! Another UpFlip video!
Did you enjoy this episode? Appreciate the avid support 🙏
I've always wondered what method was used to paint roads
His method is innovative, and it's also very cool right? ☺️
this sweet ❤️
Glad you enjoyed this episode 🙏
Wah! Clever niche business idea
That's right! Are you considering venturing into one?
So he paid 30k for a license to sell special paint?? I’m confused
Very likely sourced proprietary spray that's adhesive based on surface and it comes with a fee but also the business is based on quality material laid down so it feels like he doubled down on quality
Can you do a video on a welding business? Possibly like a mobile welding business or smth? I know a few CZcamsrs that share there work is like Austin Ross or Metal Melting Anthony.
That's a great suggestion and a good idea for upcoming episodes. 🙌
@@UpFlip Looking forward to seeing that in the future!!
Theres already an everline in San Antonio, TX, so that leaves me out. 😔
I love stories like this but hate that everything I try is a resounding failure. Of course, I wouldn't mind becoming a millionaire, but a life were I can just live comfortably, be able to take a vacation, pay emergency bills and not trying to make ends meet all the time would be nice.
Hey, I recognize that guy and footage! ;)
That's awesome! Are you a fan of the show?
@@UpFlip I am now! I work with John and a lot of the footage in the video, I captured! So really cool to see
wish someone know such a channel for japan
wow good nice❤❤❤
Can somebody please help me understand how some service businesses are using 1099 contractors in states where it is not accepted anymore. Ex: how can a cleaning business in California use 1099 contractors?
1099 is accepted in California
Omg this guy is so hot. 😮
The way he handles those line painting machines… simply too good! 👌
Can't believe that there is an easy way to do it! 💪
Are you able to do an episode on the home heating oil delivery business? There’s no information online about it.
This is the same company that was supposed to be doing a project in banff Alberta. Started it and never finished it jerking the contractor around
Is that WWE superstar John Evans???
Can assure you he's a different John Evans! 😉
Hello cant you upload the pressure washing again? Why you had to delete????
Yes, it'll go live on Monday ;)
@@UpFlip thank you! I will be ready, what time?
So it takes "a mix of family money" and be a "high performer" for most of your life in order to be successful.
You can tell a lot about someone by what they take-away from content. He told you the mistakes he made, and what worked. Use it or stfu.
@@DRACULA-SS What worked was having a mix of family money and being a high performer.
great work doing training at charity sites
There's no better place! 🙏
Hey man why is ur fucking white n yellow lights not glow at night especially whenbits raining n drivers need it the most!!!! Add radium glow to ur paint plzzz..
B2B businesses thrive by having repeat customers using a loyalty program
$500 can’t buy you that nice of a van anymore :(
💯💯💯💯💯💯
🙏
Thank you so much for watching! 🙏
50 percent gross profit? That doesn't mean anything. Whats their net profit?
Damn this guy is charismatic, sexy AF and can paint a smooth line?! 🥵
Their startup it’s between $148k-$290k😅
That's right - in order to set up franchisees to grow their businesses faster with a much higher upside, we have a proven model that leads to 84% YOY average growth! In fact, our startup cost is well below the average for franchise businesses in general. We are proud to be a lean startup model for franchisees to make it accessible to new entrepreneurs - that is important to us!
@@everlinecoatingsdoes it all have to be upfront?
@@ismaelcruz7576 Nope - Franchisees often get the startup costs covered over a period of 3-4 months. That number also includes equipment, franchise, training, setup costs, operating capital and more. Franchisees can get financing for most of the costs to get started.
Damn. Thats a deal!
Seems the franchise is the real business here.
Software development company and technology company please
Any company recos? We'd love to hear your suggestions ☺️
So is this the guy we can blame for the tiny spaces? Tired of all the micro car parking spots.
❤❤❤
Fishy
All these episodes are. Your never going to get the full story.
First step - leave Canada.
True.
Sadly true.
Meh. Where else you getting a free kidney? Move along.
@@111dcormack Yea after waiting 3 years on a list & having already died from kidney failure... Enjoy.
@@111dcormack yes, move along tiny tim
This guy sounds like a Psych major with all his talk
That sounds about right! Years of dealing with a lot of people gave him such wisdom.
First comment😎
Awesome! Thank you for always being on the lookout for new uploads! 🙏
What is profit margin? That’s the REAL Question
Our franchisees earned an average of a 50% gross profit margin on revenue in 2022! Net margin varies depending on their people structure but it is healthy and the reason why we are growing so quickly across the US!
Probably pretty high as marketing and equipment is not that expensive for this type of work.
50% to just the franchisee alone or do they still need to subtract payroll from that 50%?
Just trying to determine what type of a yearly personal income a franchise might expect
I liked everything until you mentioned Bob Iger
I just saw your CZcams Channel. Your channel looks good as well as content. But you have not sufficient traffic, impression and subscribers. There are some Tag, Title and description issues. And there is some of videos have not enough SEO score. If you increase your Video SEO score as well as title, description and tag, you will definitely get more traffic, impressions and subscribers. Thank You.
CZcams Marketing Expert.

Thank you so much for the support! Appreciate it, fam! 🙏
😂
You had 500 but your dad had 5 million
Bs
Upflip, I really love your videos, but you massively undermine your credibility if you start with the youtube thumbnails like, "Make $12,983 hour with this machine". We all know you're not making this massive, specific number - it's what scam click bait channels do. You have great content and serious minded audience viewers. We know that we're not making $200k every day. So why lie to your viewers?
Frist, all numbers used when talking about money is majorly the revenue, not net profit or something. Of course most viewers understands the revenue per hour are not that specific number put up, it's an average. Like in this video, 27 mill revenue a year, divided at lets say 50 work weeks, divided at 5 days a week, divieded at 8 hours, gives about 13.500 usd an hour. So, the channel used a bit different numbers of hours a work year, but we are pretty close. It's no lies. Sorry.
This channel is so click bait lmao selling people false dreams while making his a reality from making fake content. None of these businesses make millions or can make you millions with $1,000
First comment to say who cares about commenting about the first comment
That's a first! Kidding aside, hope you enjoyed this episode!
@@UpFlip definetly enjoyed the episode. Been subbed for a long time to the channel.
