I am currently self employed and have been for the past couple years. I offer landscaping and painting services around the Asheville area.

I have around 20 landscaping clients in Asheville that allow me to take care of their properties. Most of these properties are million dollar homes. Additionally I have painted many Air B&B interiors and a several exteriors.

It can be quite lucrative as I did an extensive staining job that paid over $20,000 for about a month's worth of work. But the hurricane that recently passed has decimated the local Air B&B industry and the painting and landscaping jobs that goes with it.
