When corporate layoffs eliminated his quality assurance position, Bryan Baldasaro reached an inflection point in his career. He had previously worked as a freelance cartoonist and illustrator, taught computer science and art and worked in a corporate health care call center. He knew he could begin looking for another corporate role, or he could use the transition as a launchpad to pursue his dreams. Baldasaro decided to take control of his future through business ownership, and after evaluating several opportunities, he selected Fresh Coat Painters, the national painting franchise with over 190 units, for its established business model, operational support and potential for long-term growth.
“I was applying to jobs daily for months and wasn’t getting any valuable responses,” Baldasaro said. “At the beginning of this year, I thought, ‘I need to do something.’ I got sick of waiting for someone to give me a job. I decided to take control of my life and my career, and I started looking at franchises. I was considering a couple of other brands when I was introduced to Fresh Coat, and I recognized that the resources and financial upside Fresh Coat provides made it a better fit for me.”
When Baldasaro began the franchise exploration process, he evaluated both brick-and-mortar and mobile opportunities. Over time, he realized that a mobile business would better fit his long-term goals both in terms of his own lifestyle and the financial model.
Within the context of mobile franchises, Baldasaro identified the home services sector as highly scalable, with consistent consumer demand.
“Service industries were a better market for me because of the flexibility, smaller footprint and the potential for less overhead,” he said.
The Fresh Coat franchise model embodies all of these benefits. Unlike businesses that require a traditional storefront, Fresh Coat’s mobile model allows franchisees to operate without the overhead cost of a dedicated retail space. Because projects are completed at customers’ homes and businesses, owners have flexibility to adjust their schedules as needed and focus on managing crews, building relationships and growing their customer base.
“Franchise ownership gives me more control over my time,” he said. “Specifically, control over what I do, how I do it and when I do it.”
Because Baldasaro was looking for greater autonomy and opportunities to grow professionally and financially, this flexibility made Fresh Coat a perfect fit.
After deciding on Fresh Coat, Baldasaro jumped right in. Because he did not have prior experience in business or the home services industry, he said the initial training process covered a lot of new information. But he embraced the process and absorbed the operational and marketing know-how necessary to hit the ground running. By focusing on a step-by-step approach to completing core business functions, he successfully launched his Northern Colorado territory.
Baldasaro is looking to grow as quickly as possible while maintaining a healthy business and consistently delivering the quality of work customers rely on Fresh Coat for. He looks forward to building a successful business that allows him to do meaningful work, serve the Northern Colorado community, and create a sustainable future for himself and his family.
“What excites me about Fresh Coat is the opportunity to take ownership of my future,” he said. “In my previous roles, I was able to build new skills and take on greater responsibilities, but career advancement often depended on opportunities becoming available and others recognizing my contributions. With Fresh Coat, I can put my experience, work ethic and ideas into action to build something of my own. I have a clear vision for what I want to accomplish, and I’m excited to have a more direct role in making that vision a reality.”
