About this Business
Established residential and commercial painting business within the fastest growing painting franchise in the United States.
Our sales and marketing team generated just over $1M in total new estimates in under 9 months! Business has a general manager, project managers and 12 painting crews along with four branded trucks for our project management leaders.
The business currently has commercial projects that we have won and are in the pipeline for Q1 2025 with two different regional brands in healthcare, along with consistent referrals and lead flow in residential each week. We service Forsyth, Guilford, part of Alamance and Davidson counties, along with franchise rights to Rowan and Cabarrus counties. These territories will also convey to the new owner.
Growth opportunities
The home services space continues to see robust growth, especially as the aging baby boomer segment continues to remain at home through the aging process. Opportunities in commercial painting are also growing in our region with strong economic development taking place in our region and the development of more industrial facilities and multi-family housing projects.
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
The owner oversees the general manager who runs the day-to-day operations of the business. Total time per week spent by the owner in the business is less than 10 hours.
Asset Description
Four 2024 Ford Maverick trucks with full wraps. 100+ branded yard signs, car magnets, t-shirts, and referral partner branded swag. Also included are the rights to five, contiguous territories in major growth hubs in NC (Piedmont Triad and Charlotte Metro).
Reason for Selling
Current owner owns four other businesses between NC and FL with a fifth one being acquired in a roll-up in March of 2025. The owner must make a divestment to keep up with the growth and full-time needs in the other businesses and this is the only business not in the healthcare industry, which is the current owner's professional background.
Why I Love My Franchise
This franchise has an incredible network of owners with multiple territories like us that provide a great "brain trust" on what trends are coming and what is and is not working well from a marketing perspective. The owner credits this, along with strong automated systems in marketing and call center operations, for scaling the business to over $1M in estimates requested in under 9 months.
About That 1 Painter
That 1 Painter is a residential and commercial painting franchise operating under ResiBrands, a home services franchise platform. Founded in 2011, the brand covers 18 service lines including interior and exterior painting, cabinet painting, drywall repair, popcorn ceiling removal, limewash application, odor removal, power washing, and real estate sell-ready preparation.
Franchisees run home-based operations managing painting crews in protected territories. The model is project-based, with revenue generated across the full service menu from residential and light commercial clients. ResiBrands provides centralized infrastructure: an in-house appointment center, marketing systems, and a proprietary learning management system.
The brand launched its franchise program in 2021 and has since grown to a substantial US network, with multi-territory ownership available for operators looking to scale. The Paint It Forward charity initiative, built around community painting projects, is a brand-level differentiator that supports local visibility and referral-building.
Franchisee Support
That 1 Painter delivers franchisee training through a blended program combining online modules and a three-day hands-on session at the corporate headquarters, totalling 70 hours of classroom instruction and 24 hours of on-the-job training. A master class covering sales, estimating, and scheduling complements the core curriculum. Ongoing support includes an in-house appointment center, a learning management system, ResiCreative marketing assets, and continuing coaching from the ResiBrands team. Resale buyers should confirm what initial training and learning management system access transfer with the resale and what onboarding is available to incoming ownership.
Brand Accolades & Awards
That 1 Painter earned the top spot among painting franchises in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 for 2026, reflecting its growth and system strength since launching in 2021. Earlier recognition includes the Fran-Tastic Brand Award from FranServe (2024), Top 100 Game Changers for 2023 from Franchise Dictionary Magazine, and listings in the 2023 Superhero Brand 500 and the 2022 Fran-Tastic 500. The brand is a member of the International Franchise Association. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition supports customer confidence, though individual territory visibility varies by market.
Industry / Market
The US painting services market is a large and growing segment within the broader home services industry. Demand is driven by aging housing stock, rising homeowner equity, and homeowners' preference for professional contractors over DIY approaches for painting and surface restoration. The category is largely resilient to economic slowdowns because it covers both discretionary upgrades and ongoing maintenance needs. For resale buyers, the strength of a given territory depends on local housing density, the maturity of the existing customer base, and the referral network the current operator has built.
Ideal Owner
That 1 Painter suits operators comfortable building and managing local service teams rather than performing the physical work themselves. The role centers on sales, crew coordination, and customer relationship management; repeat referrals and local reputation are key growth drivers in this category. No prior painting experience is required, and the training program covers estimating, scheduling, and operations to bring new owners up to speed. Community-minded candidates who are organized, comfortable managing subcontractors and field crews, and drawn to scaling through multi-territory ownership are well matched to the model.
