This Franchisee is a very profitable residential and commercial painting business that was built from the ground up in 2017 and is demonstrating very strong growth year over year. This business provides exterior and interior painting/staining services for the North Texas and surrounding areas and is known for their outstanding quality work and superb customer service.
Currently, the owners are managing day-to-day operations and oversee each job site daily, manage crews as necessary as well as handling bids and quotes, maintain customer & vendor relations and handle any contracts as necessary. They also have recently hired one part time administrative assistant to help them with day-to-day tasks. They also have 3 regular crews: a 2-man crew, a 3-man crew and a 5-man crew. All painting crews are 1099 subcontractors.
This business has experienced year-over-year growth in revenue of 17% in 2022, 39% in 2021 and was relatively unaffected in 2020. This company spends roughly 6% on advertising annually, however, due to the quality of work, attention to detail, a great emphasis on customer service and its superior reputation within the community, this business is beginning to receive even more repeat work from previous clients and receiving new clients via word of mouth in addition to the clients they receive via their normal advertising efforts. This business is primed for growth in 2023 and with the additional hire of a project manager and/or a salesperson this business will have no reason to see even more explosive growth in the future.
