Today we’d like to introduce you to Dilan Rafael Burrola Enriquez.
Hi Dilan Rafael , we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
The Story Behind Mexatubs Painting
Mexatubs Painting was founded in 2024, but its story began much earlier, while I was working for another company. That was where I learned the trade, developed my skills, and discovered the satisfaction of transforming spaces with my own hands.
Although I was responsible for completing most of the work, my salary was very low. Many customers were unhappy with the company, but they valued the quality of my work. They often told me they wanted to hire me directly, without intermediaries, because they trusted me and were pleased with the results I delivered. Their trust was one of the main reasons I decided to become an entrepreneur and build something of my own.
Starting a business was not easy. I knew how to do the work, but I did not understand everything involved in managing a company. Finding reliable suppliers, calculating costs, and setting fair prices were some of my greatest challenges. Because of my lack of experience, I lost money and made mistakes in the beginning. However, I never allowed those difficulties to make me give up. Every mistake became a lesson that helped me grow as both a business owner and a person.
During that time, the support of my loved ones was essential. My brothers provided emotional and financial support, and they were always willing to work alongside me whenever I needed them. There was also a woman who, for a time, played a very important role in this journey. I will always be grateful for all the support she gave me.
Finding my first client also required a great deal of patience. I connected with him through a referral, but it took approximately three long months to finalize the contract. During that time, I stayed in contact, remained persistent, and waited for the opportunity to prove what I could do.
I will never forget the day that client approached me and said:
“Do you remember when you first came to my property looking for an opportunity? You did not ask how much I could pay you or whether I needed your services. You simply said, ‘Give me the opportunity to show you why I should be the one you hire for this project.’”
After recalling that moment, he ended our conversation with a sentence that changed my life:
“Now look at everything you have accomplished through your hard work.”
That remains one of the proudest moments of my journey. His words reminded me of where I came from, every obstacle I had overcome, and how much the dream that began with a single opportunity had grown.
In the beginning, Mexatubs Painting offered only bathtub reglazing and restoration. Today, our range of services has expanded considerably. We offer bathtub and kitchen countertop refinishing, granite replacement, hardwood floor treatment and restoration, cabinet refinishing and repainting, flooring installation, interior and exterior residential painting, pressure washing, drywall repairs, and property maintenance services.
To me, Mexatubs Painting is much more than a company. It represents the beginning of a dream that, little by little and through tremendous effort, is becoming a reality. That is why our slogan is:
“Mexatubs Painting: Where Imagination Becomes Reality.”
Our purpose is not only to renovate properties, but also to transform our clients’ ideas into real spaces they can enjoy and feel proud of.
In the future, I hope Mexatubs Painting will become a well-known and respected company—recognized for the quality of our work, our reliability, and the trust we build with every client. I also want our growth to create more jobs and provide opportunities for others.
Perhaps by opening a door for someone else, Mexatubs Painting can become the beginning of their dream—just as one opportunity became the beginning of mine.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Getting started wasn’t easy. I knew how to do the work, but I was unfamiliar with everything involved in running a business. Finding reliable suppliers, calculating costs, and setting fair prices were among my biggest challenges. Due to my lack of experience, I lost money and made mistakes at first, but I never let those difficulties make me give up. Every mistake became a lesson that helped me grow as an entrepreneur and as a person.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
My advice for finding a mentor or building professional connections is to approach experienced people with humility, respect, and a genuine willingness to learn. Do not be afraid to ask questions or admit that there are areas where you still need to improve. A good mentor not only shares knowledge but can also help you avoid mistakes they encountered along their own journey.
What has worked best for me is building genuine relationships with clients, suppliers, and other professionals in the industry. I found my first client through a referral, which taught me that delivering high-quality work and treating people well can open important doors. Maintaining communication, keeping my promises, and remaining consistent have also been essential.
I believe networking is not only about what other people can do for us; it is also about considering how we can provide value to them. The strongest professional relationships are built on trust, mutual support, and time. Every conversation can become an opportunity to learn, collaborate, or help someone else.
