Veteran Operator

Painting Franchise Opportunities for Veterans

Veterans often reach a point where they want more control over their future, more stability for their families, and a clearer mission to lead in civilian life. Painter Bros offers franchise opportunities for veteran operators who thrive on discipline, teamwork, and execution.

If you’ve spent years in military service, law enforcement, or first-response work, you already have the mindset that makes ownership possible. You’ve led people through challenging situations. You’ve stayed focused when others fold. Now you can put those strengths toward building a business of your own.

How to Transition From Veteran to Franchise Owner

Veterans sometimes assume they must start at the bottom when entering business ownership. With Painter Bros, you don’t. Our model is built so you can step in as the leader from day one.

We provide a painting franchise with training and support that covers estimating, sales, hiring, software systems, operations, and quality standards. This structure helps you move from a hands-on, tactical role to a strategic leadership position where you manage people, projects, and growth.

Many veterans choose franchising because it mirrors mission-based teamwork and provides clear operating procedures. The Painter Bros system offers a straightforward way to transition into ownership.

Why Veterans Make Successful Franchisees

Veteran operators naturally excel in:

  • Team leadership
  • Process discipline
  • Community-focused service
  • Decision-making under pressure
  • Mission-driven execution

These strengths align directly with the demands of running a successful home and commercial services franchise.

Why Painter Bros Offers a Better Path Than Going Independent

When veterans think about starting a business, many consider going out on their own. The challenge is that independent contractors often spend years trying to build systems, generate leads, and establish credibility. Partnering with Painter Bros removes those barriers so you can focus on leading your team and growing your business. Some of the support you can expect from Painter Bros includes:

  • Full training and ongoing coaching that help you master operations faster
  • Proprietary software that streamlines estimating, scheduling, communication, and KPI tracking
  • Access to national account and commercial opportunities that independent operators rarely secure
  • Pre-developed territories with marketing groundwork and established brand awareness
  • Multiple revenue streams, including residential painting, commercial painting, epoxy floors, and facility maintenance
  • A leadership-driven model that lets you step into ownership without needing painting experience

This makes Painter Bros a strong option for veterans looking for stable franchise opportunities and long-term growth.

If you’re exploring the best franchise opportunities for veterans and want a proven path with real support, Painter Bros gives you the mission, structure, and opportunity to start your next chapter. Connect with our franchise team today.

Franchise Support

Franchisee Support

Here are three key ways in which we support our home improvement franchise owners:

Pre-Development Locations

For the past several years, we've been prepping and building 43 markets via our online presence and managing our reputation through search engine optimization, collecting 5-star reviews, and working in those markets. Rather than purchasing a shell location, where you buy the franchise and it takes years of marketing and building, our franchisees enter a market where a Painter Bros presence is already made, giving them the upper hand right away.

National Contracts

With our Strategic Alliance Partnerships, we provide painting services for Fortune 500 companies nationwide and manage the B2B relationships through our corporate team. We hyper-focus on Capex spending with these large companies, as well as with smaller projects. Some of the companies we work with include Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Public Storage, Cube Smart, and Extra Space Storage. When we get a job with these companies, our corporate team will pass it along to our franchisee in that market.

Proprietary Software Partner

Our technology provides our franchisees with the simplicity of running their business with a quick glance. This lets them be the business owner, rather than working for their company as a manager. We are the only painting company that can show our customers exactly why we are the best using our KPI reporting. Our software handles every job, residential or commercial, from start to finish. You’ll have the ability to communicate, use estimation tools, integrated payments, manage reports, and more via your desktop or mobile device.

"Becoming a franchisee for Painter Bros was a really great experience. We spent a lot of time going through all the details and felt very comfortable with the decision to move forward!"

A Recession Resistant Opportunity

Painter Bros is built to withstand the ups and downs of the economy, as our services will always be in demand. The home services industry is a $500 billion industry – and growing (HomeAdvisors marketing report). The need for general contracting will always be present, and though sometimes there may be greater demand for residential work over commercial work– and vice versa – our franchise owners can always count on a consistent flow of customers.

You can be running your new painting company in no time.
