There are over 360 locations in the US and Canada, and the Pennsylvania based company plans to have 550 locations operating by the end of 2016. The painting service industry is a large one, at over $40 billion annually, and what makes CertaPro unique in the service category, is the fact that their owners drive revenue from both residential (B2C) and commercial (B2B) clients.

This is NOT a franchise for painters or those who want to paint. It is a Construction Business Operating and Management System that just happens to use commercial painting and waterproofing as the vehicle to build an organization and earn considerable sums of money.

Merit Professional Coatings is a commercial painting and waterproofing subcontractor. 85% of our business is with commercial general contractors on new construction projects such as schools, office buildings, hospitals, airports, sports arenas, etc. 15% of our work is classified as maintenance painting and/or repainting of existing buildings. We only engage in commercial work. NO RESIDENTIAL. Merit has been in business since 1994 and the owners have been in the industry since 1986. Our annual sales have ranged from as little as $3,000,000.00 to as much as $12,000,000.00. And with an average 33% gross profit.

We are changing the stereotypical view of a painting contractor and replacing it with a professional businessperson who is a respected member of the business community. We employ sound business principles in the management of the company and use proven effective standard operating procedures in every aspect of the business. This approach has enabled us to create a superior model that is transferable, repeatable, and, best of all, highly profitable. Our franchise in Houston’s first job was a $623,000.00 project that came in at a 32% gross profit. The Jacksonville franchise completed $454,000.00 of work in it's first full year at a gross profit of 32%.

Matt Eggenberger started door Renew in August 2009. The company is based in Cincinnati, OH, but also restores doors in three states: Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan.

“I started this business as a sideline in my garage after being laid off from my job,” says founder, Matt Eggenberger. “Having owned a very successful Mr. Handyman franchise for four years (2001–2005), we received a lot of calls to refinish front doors. Customers couldn’t find anyone that specializes in this type of work, so they called us.

At first, we did what everyone else did: I would dispatch a service technician who would sand the loose varnish off the door, try to match the remaining stain as best he could, and then cover the whole thing with a new coat of “off-the-shelf” Spar Varnish. The customer was never satisfied and didn’t want to pay us for what we did.

Three to six months later I would have to send my technician back to the house, because what we did was already flaking off.

14 I knew we had to take the door off its hinges and bring it into a shop to completely restore it, but installing a temporary door to match up with the hinges and door lock took hours and ate up all of the profits. I finally decided to not accept this type of work anymore because we couldn’t refinish the door on site to our quality standards, nor make any profit with all of the warranty service requirements.

I sold my Mr. Handyman franchise in 2005 and went back to work for my former employer with

whom I had fifteen years seniority, but after just three more years, I was laid off! I spent the next year looking for work and actually found a position selling House Doctors franchises, but after six months, I was laid off again. ” “While conducting my new career search, I had the opportunity to interview with a company in Cincinnati that restores beautiful mahogany Chris Craft antique boats.

They bring them into their shop and completely strip them down and refinish them using tried-and-true techniques that endure in the marine environment. I remember thinking to myself, that’s just what those doors need, but only if it didn’t take so long

15 to install a temporary door. I thanked them for their job offer and decided not to accept it, but their techniques stayed in my mind.

Later that week it came to me how to design a temporary door system that is secure and installs quickly. So in August 2009 I decided to test the waters by sending a press release to the business editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer about my new venture. After a couple of weeks, my little two-paragraph announcement appeared on the last page of the Sunday business section, but it was buried with a half dozen other business-opening announcements. Well, the phone went crazy and I was not prepared to handle all of the volume.

I spent the fall of 2009 finishing up these doors and put Door Renew out of my mind for the winter. Then in the spring of 2010, while I was deep into my career search, the phone started ringing again, which was odd because I didn-t have a web site and hadn’t done any advertising or promotion. People had saved or remembered that newspaper article since August and started calling me! Long story short, I ended my career search to concentrate on Door Restore full time.� –Matt Eggenberger

16 After the business was up and running, Matt’s brother, John, who has over 15 years in franchising with three national brands, became so excited that he left his job and joined Door Renew to partner with Matt in developing the concept into a franchise, and the rest is history!
