We Did the Hard Work. You Reap the Rewards.

Two Revenue Streams. One Franchise.
Tap into both residential and commercial painting demand, without doubling your investment.
Residential Painting
Homeowners are your consistent, reliable base. Interior, exterior, cabinets: repeat customers who refer their neighbours.
Commercial Painting
Larger budgets, longer contracts. Offices, retail, multi-unit properties.
No painting experience required. Just the drive to own something great.
Ideal backgrounds are sales, management, operations and small business ownership. What matters is ambition, and the willingness to follow a proven system.

Built From the Inside Out.
Brad Samuels was born and raised in Richmond, BC. He studied finance and marketing at the University of Northern British Columbia, and in his first year, he was recruited by a franchise painting company. That decision changed everything.
Over the next decade, Brad managed crews, painted hundreds of homes, and learned the painting trade from the ground up. But more than the craft, he learned what it really takes to build a business that runs on trust, systems, and genuine care for the customer experience.
Brad was also the first franchisee of Shack Shine, the international house detailing brand, where he helped build the system from the ground up. It was there that he truly discovered the power of franchising: what a strong community of owners, a proven system, and the right culture can do for an entrepreneur's life.
That's franchising experience as an operator, not as an investor or observer. Brad has lived every stage of the journey you're considering: the early hustle, the first hires, the systems that scale, and the freedom that follows when you get it right.
Today, Colour Craft Franchising is Brad's way of giving other driven entrepreneurs the same head start he never had. He believes the single biggest factor in your success isn't the brand or the territory. It's having a guide who's already walked the path.
"I've built and scaled businesses across multiple industries. What I know for certain is this: the right system, the right support, and the right mindset will take you further than talent alone ever could."
The full cost, and every fee.
Every number here comes from our Franchise Disclosure Document. Our disclosure document makes no earnings projections, so this website doesn't either. On the Discovery Call we walk through how a project is priced and every fee, so you can build your own model. These figures are for Canadian territories. Philadelphia territories have their own U.S. disclosure document.
Total initial investment, excluding HST and working capital. Includes the $15,000 franchise fee.

Real Results. Real Reviews.
These are Google reviews from Colour Craft clients. This is the reputation a franchise partner builds on.
“Excellent work done! Very quick response time. A big thank you to Allen who was simply amazing. He has a great attention to detail and very professional and friendly. The finish on my walls is so nice and the ceiling is so good. Did a great job patching up some of my ceiling as well. They communicated all needs along the way. This is my second time having them paint — first the house exterior and this time the interior. I highly recommend them for any painting needs.”
“Mark and Sam were prompt, friendly and polite. They were very skilled and went above and beyond when finishing the job. The paint job looked incredible. Someone dinged our newly painted wall the next day and Mark even fixed it for us. Would highly recommend!”
“Brad showed up less than 24 hours after contacting him for a quote, and two days later we had Gabriel and Alan painting our basement. They did a wonderful job, did a fantastic work cleaning up and were wonderful to have in our home. Would recommend.”
“We have an older home with several cracks and wall damage. Allan from Colour Craft Painting has done an incredible job restoring it. His attention to detail, from meticulous patching to perfectly clean paint lines, has completely transformed our space. The interior looks brand new again!”
“We recently had our house painted by Colour Craft, and the results have truly exceeded our expectations. The project was completed on schedule, and every detail was handled with care and precision. A special shout-out to team lead Allan — his professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Colour Craft for anyone looking for top-notch house painting services.”
“We had an amazing experience with the painter Stefan. Not only did he do a great job on the painting, but he went above and beyond by power washing our front entrance door stairs — even though it wasn't part of his job. He also used his own money to buy extra paint to make sure everything was done properly. Truly a dedicated and hardworking professional. Highly recommend!”

Painting Franchise vs. Starting Your Own: Which Model Actually Wins?
Both paths lead to ownership, but the experience, risk, and long-term outcomes look very different. Here's an honest breakdown of every factor that matters.

Honest self-qualification for serious prospects. If you check these boxes, a discovery call is worth your time.
Everything You Want to Know. Answered.
Honestly, yes, but only if you're coachable and willing to do the work. What matters more is your drive, your willingness to follow a system, and your ability to lead people. We've built the playbook. Your job is to execute it. That said, this isn't a passive investment: you'll be actively running a team and building a customer base, especially in Year 1. If you're prepared for that, the learning curve is manageable.
The royalty funds your ongoing coaching, your marketing infrastructure (SEO, social media, brand assets), your technology stack (CRM, estimating software, scheduling tools), and continued development of the franchise system. Think of it less as a fee and more as a retainer for a full business support team.
When you're ready to exit, you can sell your territory to a qualified buyer, with our consent. A transfer carries fees set out in the franchise agreement. We support that process and help vet potential buyers. Your territory is an asset you're building, not just a job you're doing.
We don't disappear when things get hard. That's actually when our coaching model matters most. You'll have 1-on-1 coaching with a qualified Colour Craft coach and a peer network of owners who've faced the same challenges. If you're struggling with sales, we dig into your pipeline. If hiring is the issue, we work through your recruitment process. We have a vested interest in your success: your royalties only grow if your revenue grows.
We're a leadership and entrepreneurial development company disguised as a painting company. The painting business is where you grow as a leader and an entrepreneur. We're building a culture. Our franchisee count is intentionally small right now because we want every owner to succeed before we scale. You get direct access to the founders, not a regional manager. You get a real community, not a portal. And you get a brand that's been built with genuine craft and care, which shows up in how clients talk about us and how our owners feel about what they've built.
