Five Star Painting

Services

Neighborly’s Painting Brand

Five Star Painting is part of the Neighborly network alongside Mr. Electric, Mr. Rooter, Aire Serv, and Mr. Handyman. 200+ locations across the US and Canada. The Neighborly connection is both their main selling point and the reason to choose them over other painting franchises.

Services cover the standard residential range: interior walls and ceilings, exterior siding and trim, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, garage floor coating, and specialty coatings. They use premium paints from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG, selected based on surface type and exposure conditions.

The Estimate and What Comes After

Their estimating process is educational, which is appreciated. Estimators walk through each area, identify prep needs, recommend products, and provide a line-item quote. They explain paint grades, sheen levels, primer requirements, and coat counts. That transparency makes it easier to compare their quote against competitors.

The Neighborly ecosystem kicks in when painting reveals other work — and it usually does. Drywall repair behind removed wallpaper? Mr. Handyman handles it. Electrical updates for new fixtures? Mister Sparky. All coordinated through one system with one satisfaction guarantee, eliminating the hassle of finding and managing separate contractors. Two-year warranty on all painting work, plus a complimentary touch-up visit after the paint fully cures.

Five Star vs. CertaPro vs. Fresh Coat

All three are national painting franchises with similar service menus. CertaPro has the most locations and strongest project management process. Fresh Coat emphasizes insurance and real estate partnerships. Five Star’s edge is the Neighborly ecosystem — if your painting project involves work from other trades, the coordination is genuinely easier. If it’s a straightforward paint job with no other work needed, the choice comes down to local reviews and pricing in your specific area.
