How Painting Franchises Stay Profitable Year-Round
November 14, 2025
Seasonal slowdowns don’t have to stop your success. Discover how Klappenberger & Son franchisees plan ahead, market smarter, and stay profitable all year long.
Suppose you are looking for a franchise in Jacksonville. It might be worth a couple of minutes of your time to check out our franchise. Why?
Because every franchise has different fees, start-up costs, training, and territory sizes, doing your due diligence is crucial.
When looking at any franchise, including Klappenberger & Son, you should be skeptical. It takes a great leap of faith to buy any franchise except maybe a McDonald’s or Chick-fil-A.
The painting and handyman industry in the Jacksonville area is growing and recession-resistant. Regardless of the economy or buyer’s or seller’s market, people are getting their homes painted, fixed, and remodeled. And, the truth is fewer people are inclined to do the work than ever before. As a result, the demand for responsible, professional painting and handyman services is always strong.
Klappenberger & Son has been in the industry since 1989 and knows the industry like few others do. You need no previous experience in the industry. In fact, none of my franchisees have had any experience at all! So we have everything in place for you to get started.
Our territories are the largest, which allows you to have a very scalable business without buying multiple territories.
Reason # 5 – The painting and handyman industry is not seasonal in the Jacksonville Metro area. An organized, well-run Klappenberger & Son franchise has its techs working 52 weeks a year!
Reason #4 – Painting and handyman services are recession-resistant. With over 32 years of experience, I can assure you that the demand for our services never ends. There is always plenty of work.
Reason #3 – The largest territories of any painting or handyman franchise. With territories are 2-5 times larger than any competitor, it makes Klappenberger & Son a very scalable business.
Reason #2 – We have the longest and most involved training process of any franchise. We spend parts of the final two weeks at your location.
Reason #1 – The lowest start-up costs and ongoing fees. We want you to be successful. Ongoing payments to the franchisor hurt the button line. Ours is the least.
If you are looking to franchise in Jacksonville, there are many reasons to choose a franchise that provides both painting and handyman services.
Firstly, the painting industry is a $31 billion per year industry. In addition, the handyman franchise industry is a $4.1 billion per year industry. Combining the two makes you a convenient one-stop-shop.
Secondly, people need our services regardless of the economy. For example, if home sales are slow, people are staying put and fixing up. If it is a seller market, people are buying and making changes.
You don’t need to convince someone to paint or maintain their property. Look around. You can see that every home or building is painted. And there will be things that break down and need to be fixed or replaced.
The painting and handyman industry is so unreliable that customers will create a loyal customer base if you show up and do a good job. Unfortunately, that is not the same for other sectors such as restaurants. For example, I love a good cheeseburger. However, I’ll eat a cheeseburger from Five Guys, Wendy’s, Steak ‘n Shake, and just about any sports bar. In short, I am not loyal to just one cheeseburger joint.
On the flip side, no pun intended, the painting and handyman relationship is different. Happy customers want to use the same contractor again and again. This loyalty creates a great customer base. Over 74% of our customers are repeat customers or referrals.
Who has the best franchise? I can answer in two words -no one. Your needs, goals, and desires determine which franchise is the best for you. Not the franchise.
Buying a franchise is like buying a car. Each car has its unique features and costs. Therefore, a good franchisor should NOT try to sell you their franchise but instead asking questions about you to see if your needs fit their franchise model.
Here are a few questions we ask our candidates to determine if they are a good fit for our franchise model.
First, do you want a brick-and-mortar store or an at-home business?
Secondly, are you looking for a scalable franchise or a more part-time business?
Thirdly, are you looking for something to be hands-on or something the generates a more passive income?
What income are you looking to derive from whichever franchise purchase?
How soon do you need the cash flow from the franchise?
Have you talked to anyone in the franchise industry that interests you?
Most importantly, how much capital do you have to invest?
To see if a Klappenberger & Son franchise in Jacksonville is right for you, fill out the contact form.
We will ask and answer the questions above and have a plain and frank discussion.
Our policy is not to sell you but to guide you and see if our franchise works for both of us.
We respect your privacy at all times.
