Painting

Painting contractors play a key role in construction, renovation, and property maintenance across residential, commercial, and industrial markets. While smaller players often start with word-of-mouth and regional reputation, scaling up requires navigating labor management, material sourcing, scheduling complexity, and the shift from project-by-project work to steady contract revenue. Many also expand into related services such as drywall repair, staining, surface prep, or coatings for specialized applications. Margins can be healthy, but sustaining quality and client satisfaction at scale is operationally demanding. As demand for professionalized property services grows—especially among real estate investors, facilities managers, and builders—larger, systems-driven painting firms are increasingly sought after. Owners may face inflection points around crew size, geographic growth, or whether to take on more complex commercial or industrial jobs. OwnerCo has partnered with many trades businesses navigating these challenges. We’re especially interested in speaking with owner-led painting companies considering expansion, succession, or stepping back, and looking for a supportive long-term partner.
