Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why should I choose Painter Bros over other home services companies?Painter Bros offers three main differentiators that set us apart from any other painting or home services company. We have pre-developed markets, so you are walking into a market that already has a Painter Bros presence. We have Strategic Alliance Partnerships, meaning you have access to our national commercial jobs if you so choose to accept those jobs. And we have proprietary technology that takes care of the customer from start to finish with communication, payments, accounting, and reporting built in.
