PAINT CORPS - National Commercial Painting

What PAINT CORPS - National Commercial Painting does

PAINT CORPS is a Veteran-founded painting franchise operating under the Veteran Service Brands portfolio. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Independence, Ohio (with a Tampa, Florida training academy), the company delivers interior and exterior painting services for residential homeowners and commercial businesses through 9 franchise locations across 7 states (Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas). Core service lines include Residential Painting, Commercial Painting, Interior Painting, Exterior Painting, Cabinet Painting, and Cabinet Refinishing, supplemented by specialized commercial verticals (Church Painting, Hotel Painting, Industrial Painting).

The business operates on a dual revenue model. The first stream is project-based painting services revenue generated by individual franchisees on a quote-by-quote basis, with free on-site consultations and a 5-Year Touch Up Warranty on workmanship. The second stream is franchise economics: initial franchise investments range from $130,950 to $182,400 per unit with a $17,000 minimum liquid capital requirement, supplemented by ongoing royalty fees. Franchisees receive lead generation, marketing support, proprietary CRM and custom quoting systems, operational workflow tools, and a National Accounts capability for multi-location commercial contracts. The brand positioning is built on military-inspired values (timeliness, precision, duty, integrity, respect, accountability), and franchise ownership is dominated by U.S. military veterans, although the ranks were opened to non-veteran franchisees in 2023. The company is privately held with no disclosed financials, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
