History:
It wasn’t long before our founders — a pair of friends who painted to pay their way through college – realized they’d stumbled on a winning mixture. In 2007, Five Star Painting® launched as a franchise company, completely disrupting the U.S. painting service industry. In 2015, Five Star Painting was acquired by Neighborly®, and today we’re well on our way to becoming North America’s leading provider of painting services, transforming the lives of customers and franchise owners through quality and color.
