How to Name Your Painting Company – Best Practices

As Shakespeare said, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. Or in other words; what’s in a name?

You cannot fully represent your company with a name, but a good name can help. After working with 4,500 companies, we recommend combining these themes (in order of importance):
Local – Customers like working with someone local.
Quality – People hire painters who take pride in their work.
Friendly – People only work with people they trust.
Memorable – This will help you get more referrals.

Avoid These Name Types:
Funny – Ya they’re funny, but they sound unprofessional.
Affordable – You’ll have a tough time making a profit if you’re always the cheapest price.
