Buy a 360 Painting Franchise

360° Painting is an interior and exterior painting franchise serving both residential and commercial customers. Founded in 2005 and franchising since 2006, it operates as one of the home-services brands within the Premium Service Brands portfolio. The network has grown to more than 100 locations across the United States, with a footprint that has reached into Canada.

Beyond standard repaints, franchisees offer cabinet painting, deck and concrete staining, epoxy and garage-floor coatings, power washing, wallpaper removal and drywall repair. The model is home-based and project-managed: owners run a lean operation, coordinating painting crews or subcontractors rather than wielding a brush themselves, and each holds an exclusive, protected territory.

The brand backs its work with a two-year paint warranty and supplier partnerships including Sherwin-Williams, PPG and Benjamin Moore. Operations are supported by business-management software, an in-house call center and centralized marketing systems, making 360° Painting a structured, support-led entry into the painting sector.

Why buy a 360 Painting Franchise?

A 360° Painting franchise offers entry into a resilient home-services category through an established, recognized brand rather than an independent start-up. Painting demand holds up across economic cycles, since homeowners and businesses repaint whether they are selling, staying or refreshing a space, and the residential-and-commercial mix gives owners multiple revenue streams plus upsell options like staining, coatings and power washing.

The home-based, low-overhead structure keeps fixed costs down, while membership in the Premium Service Brands network provides operating systems, marketing infrastructure and supplier relationships an independent painter would have to build alone. Preferred partnerships with Sherwin-Williams, PPG and Benjamin Moore support consistent materials and pricing, and exclusive territories limit competition from within the system.

360 Painting – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial onboarding centers on a three-week Owner Experience Program combining online and in-person instruction, with 76 hours of classroom training in operations, marketing and sales plus 4 hours of on-the-job training shadowing an existing franchise. Ongoing support includes a dedicated business coach, newsletters and an annual national convention, a seven-day in-house customer call center, business-management software, and a centralized marketing team supplying ad templates, social media, SEO and email campaigns. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and software access carry over to incoming owners and any retained staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    360° Painting suits a sales- and management-minded operator rather than a hands-on tradesperson, and no painting experience is required. Day to day the owner focuses on local marketing and lead generation, recruiting and scheduling painters or subcontractors, managing projects and estimates, and maintaining the customer relationships that drive referrals and repeat work. The home-based model fits organized, detail-oriented owners comfortable coordinating crews and holding quality consistent; it can be run leanly or scaled into a larger managed team.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    360° Painting was named the #1 painting franchise on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 in 2018 and 2019, ranking #265 overall, and has continued to appear in the Franchise 500. It has been featured on Inc. magazine's Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies and recognized as a veteran-friendly franchise, offering a franchise-fee discount to veterans. Backing from Premium Service Brands adds further credibility. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    360° Painting operates in the US painting services market, valued at roughly $42 billion and growing steadily. Demand is relatively resilient: homeowners repaint to prepare properties for sale, maintain aging housing stock or simply refresh interiors, so work continues across both strong and slow real-estate cycles. An aging US housing inventory and ongoing remodeling activity support repeat residential demand, while commercial and HOA contracts add larger projects. For resale buyers, local housing age, turnover and competition shape how much of that demand a territory can capture.
