Why I Love My Franchise

About Painter Bros
Painter Bros is a residential and commercial painting franchise founded in 2014 and headquartered in Utah, with franchising beginning in 2020. The brand covers interior and exterior painting, epoxy floor coatings, facility maintenance, and graffiti removal, serving both homeowners and commercial clients across a growing US network.
The business is home-based and territory-protected, with franchisees running operations without a commercial lease. Two ownership structures are available: a hands-on owner-operator model and a semi-absentee path for those who prefer to hire an operating partner. Both models access the same mix of residential project work and commercially assigned national accounts.
Operations are built around proprietary FM Flow software, which handles estimating, job tracking, client communications, and integrated payments from desktop or mobile. An in-house digital marketing team manages Google advertising and SEO on behalf of each franchisee, and the brand pre-develops target territories through online reputation management before franchisee launch.
Franchisee Support
New Painter Bros franchisees complete initial training over 5 to 8 days at corporate headquarters, covering 19–33 hours of classroom instruction and 21–32 hours of on-the-job work across operations, estimating, marketing, hiring, and the brand's proprietary FM Flow software. Ongoing support includes direct coaching, an in-house digital marketing team managing Google advertising and SEO, and a 24/7 call centre that handles inbound leads and books appointments. Resale buyers should confirm with Painter Bros what transfer training and FM Flow system access are available to incoming owners.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Painter Bros has been recognized by The Franchise Consulting Company (FCC) as the #1 Franchise Brand, reflecting the pace of its system growth and franchisee performance. The brand reports over 500 Google reviews and more than 100,000 jobs completed nationwide. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition is best weighed alongside the reputation of the specific territory, including local review volume, referral relationships, and community presence built by the existing owner.
Industry / Market
The US painters industry is estimated at approximately $49 billion (IBISWorld, 2025), with the residential house painting and decorating sub-segment reaching around $28 billion and growing at a five-year compound annual rate of approximately 3.7%. Demand is driven by an aging US housing stock, consistent homeowner spending on property upkeep, and active commercial facility budgets across retail, storage, and logistics sectors. The category is generally resilient across economic cycles, as deferred maintenance creates catch-up demand when spending conditions soften.
Ideal Owner
The ideal Painter Bros owner is sales-oriented and comfortable managing both residential clients and B2B outreach, since the model relies on developing a local project pipeline alongside nationally assigned commercial accounts. No prior painting experience is required; field work is carried out by hired painters or managed subcontractors. The owner role centres on business development, crew coordination, and quality oversight. Those drawn to the semi-absentee path should be prepared to recruit and manage an operating partner handling day-to-day operations.
