What Protect Painters does

ProTect Painters is a US residential and commercial painting services franchise brand, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Cypress, California. It operates under the Neighborly family of home service providers, with service delivery executed by independently owned and operated local franchise locations. The legal entity holding the trademark is ProTect Painters SPV LLC.

The company's core offering is full-service painting, including interior and exterior residential painting, commercial painting across verticals (medical, education, fitness, hospitality, property management, industrial, offices), cabinet painting and refinishing, deck and fence staining, brick painting, concrete sealing, and ancillary services such as drywall and ceiling repair, popcorn ceiling removal, and carpentry. Supporting digital assets include a website-based Color Visualizer tool for previewing paint selections and the Neighborly-branded mobile app (available on iOS and Android) for scheduling. A two-year workmanship warranty covers both residential and commercial projects.

ProTect Painters generates revenue via one-time project fees quoted after on-site estimates, with franchise-based local service delivery as the primary go-to-market motion. The company supports customer acquisition through its website, a national toll-free line (888-261-3633), promotional discounts (10% off first completed service up to $500), customer reviews, and content marketing. As part of the Neighborly network, ProTect Painters benefits from shared brand standards, cross-referrals, and the Neighborly Done Right Promise, while the 34,784 reviews averaging 4.9/5 stars reflect substantial completed project volume across the franchise system.
