Buy a Five Star Painting Franchise

Five Star Painting is a residential and commercial painting franchise founded in 2004 by college friends Scott Abbott and Chad Jones, who started painting homes to fund their education. Now part of the Neighborly® network with over 260 locations across the U.S. and Canada, it uses an executive ownership model where franchisees manage operations and subcontract painters—no painting experience or physical labor required. Services include interior/exterior painting, pressure washing, cabinet refinishing, wallpaper removal, and drywall repair, backed by partnerships like Sherwin-Williams. Home-based with low overhead and no initial office space, it offers flexible schedules, scalability to multi-unit ownership, and a recession-resistant model in the booming $50B+ home services industry. Ideal for sales-oriented entrepreneurs seeking work-life balance and high growth potential.
