From Local Crews to National Reach: How Franchisees Benefit from CertaPro’s Strategic Partnership

Starting a business can feel like going it alone. But when you partner with a brand like CertaPro Painters® , you gain more than just a name — you gain a support system that’s built to help you grow. With local crews driving your day-to-day operations and a national brand backing your long-term goals, CertaPro offers a rare combination: the freedom of owning your own business and the muscle of a proven system behind you. From commercial painting to residential work, our franchisees aren’t just keeping busy — they’re building real, scalable businesses.

CertaPro Painters has crafted a system that works in good times and bad. According to Investopedia, one of the major industries that thrives even during recessions, is home improvement and property management. That’s why we say our model is recession-resilient. In uncertain markets, people still need to protect their most important investments — their homes and buildings. Painting isn’t just cosmetic; it’s part of regular upkeep that maintains value. Franchisees benefit from this dependable demand. When homeowners hold off on buying new properties, they invest in what they already own. When businesses downsize or move, they need to update their new spaces. That means steady work for painting crews, no matter what’s happening in the economy.

Tap into Technology That Keeps You Competitive

Technology plays a major role in helping franchisees run smarter businesses. CertaPro Painters®  gives you access to tools that simplify scheduling, client communication, and estimating. Our CRM system helps you stay on top of leads and follow-ups so nothing falls through the cracks. Marketing automation allows you to keep your name in front of past clients while targeting new ones with campaigns that work. You don’t need a background in tech to use these tools — they’re built to support painters, not programmers.

This kind of operational support makes a difference in your bottom line. Jobs get done faster. Clients stay informed. Teams know exactly what’s expected. That clarity cuts down on callbacks and increases repeat business. It’s one of the reasons CertaPro franchisees consistently report high levels of customer satisfaction and referrals. Running a tight operation isn’t about working harder — it’s about working smarter with tools that do some of the heavy lifting for you. That’s why The International Franchise Association named CertaPro Painters as the Top Low-Cost & Recession Proof Brand of 2023. Our proven systems ensure the best results for our franchisees across the nation.

Peer Support That Drives Real Growth

Starting a business is easier when you’re surrounded by people who’ve done it too. At CertaPro, we’ve built a tight-knit community of franchise owners who are open about what works — and what doesn’t. Annual conferences, regional meetups, and day-to-day support systems give you access to real-world advice. You’ll learn how other franchisees solve hiring challenges, improve profitability, and keep teams motivated.

This culture of support is one of our biggest strengths. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel when you can learn from someone who’s already been where you’re going. Our most successful franchisees understand the value of sharing strategies and sticking together. Even though every territory is different, the mindset is the same — grow the brand by helping each other win locally.
