Five Star Painting Franchise Model Overview

Five Star Painting franchises provide interior and exterior painting and related services to homeowners and commercial customers within a population-based territory, typically 150,000 to 200,000 people. The brand is part of the Neighborly family of home-service franchises, which supplies the call center, scheduling software and shared marketing programs. It is a light-asset model: the business can run from a home office or a small rented space, the main start-up costs are a wrapped vehicle, equipment and a heavy initial marketing push, and there is no storefront to build. The work is estimating, selling, scheduling and quality control rather than painting, so the owner functions as a manager of field crews. An individual owner or a trained designated manager must directly supervise the business. The system is entirely franchised and has been roughly flat at about 245 U.S. units for the last two years, with a steady number of transfers each year. Minimum license fees and annual marketing spend requirements apply.

Ideal owner profile
