Franchise Opportunities for Veterans in Home Services

CertaPro Painters is proud to offer a 20% discount off the Initial Franchise Fee for all military veterans. That’s not just a gesture—it’s thousands of dollars in savings. This is a franchise built for leaders, and we’re proud to be one of the few home services brands that actively recruits and supports veterans through the proven power of franchising. No fluff, no gimmicks. Just real opportunity. And that’s exactly what we offer to the men and women who served—reliable, local business ownership with a path to growth and long-term income.

Work With a Growing Community of Veterans Across America

CertaPro Painters isn’t a concept – it’s a real business, run by real veterans who’ve transitioned from service to success. From commercial painting services to residential jobs, our franchisees are managing large projects, building teams, and dominating their territories with military-grade discipline and leadership.

In Texas, Amie Reynolds runs the show in Northeast San Antonio. She’s a U.S. Army Medical Service Corps Officer who still serves in the Reserves. Amie now oversees a thriving painting business, managing schedules, staff, and customer relationships—all while raising a family with the backing of a franchise system that respects and understands her background. Her territory grows each year. That’s no accident.

In Alabama, Steve Carey has taken the same structured approach that made him an Air Force Colonel and applied it to his franchise in Mobile. He didn’t retire to slow down—he pivoted to building something of his own. Steve now uses his leadership skills to organize crews, run operations, and deliver high-quality painting jobs across his market. His success is a direct result of the traits that made him successful in the military—discipline, accountability, and execution.

And in North Carolina, Jason Wright recently made the leap. A new veteran owner in our system, Jason’s just getting started. But if you’re a veteran exploring a similar path, Jason’s the type of person you can call today. He’ll give you the truth. Not just the numbers, but the feeling of walking into civilian business life after years in uniform. He gets it—and that makes all the difference.

No Painting Experience Needed. Leadership Required!

You don’t need to know how to paint. You don’t need to have run a business before. What we need—and what we reward—is leadership. Our best franchisees are veterans because they know how to follow a system, delegate, and solve problems. CertaPro Painters trains you to manage teams, not to hold the brush. Our support staff helps guide new franchisees through everything from estimating jobs to growing repeat clients in your market. If you can handle logistics, discipline, and long hours, we’ll handle the rest.

We’re not promising instant riches. We’re offering a real business that requires hard work and pays off over time. Most of our owners grow each year, many expand their territory, and the best become leaders within the CertaPro network. And it all starts with a decision: one that taps into everything you already are—a veteran with a mindset to lead.
