Fresh Coat

Augusta, GA —&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/freshcoat">Fresh Coat Painters</a>, the 170-unit residential and commercial painting franchise under the Strategic Franchising Systems umbrella, is teaming up with local Augusta resident&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewphughes/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=local-resident-andrew-hughes-to-open-first-fresh-coat-painters-location-in-augusta-georgia-2722999" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Andrew Hughes</a> to open the brand’s first location in the market.&nbsp;A mechanical engineer by trade with experience in real estate, Hughes decided it was time to leave the corporate world and began searching for a customer-facing business opportunity that involved working directly with homeowners. When he discovered&nbsp;<a href="https://freshcoatfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=local-resident-andrew-hughes-to-open-first-fresh-coat-painters-location-in-augusta-georgia-2722999" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fresh Coat Painters</a> last year, Hughes says he was drawn to the brand’s simplified operations, proven business model, in-depth franchisee support and unparalleled consumer reputation.&nbsp;“When you are building a business, you spend most of your time in the day-to-day operations,” said Hughes. “Most of us aren’t marketers, for example, so putting together strong marketing materials will either take a long time or be very expensive. But when you buy a franchise like Fresh Coat, they already have all those materials available.&nbsp;That was very attractive to me as I had never operated a full-fledged business. I knew it would be good to have a dedicated plan on paper. I just had to bring the energy to execute it. With every item on the checklist, there is a lot of guidance, and you are given a dedicated business coach to help answer any and all questions.”Now, with his new Fresh Coat franchise, Hughes aims to build a trustworthy local team that provides exceptional services at a fair price. His background in real estate and residential services, including flipping homes and acting as a landlord, has given him a unique perspective on what it means to be reliable in the market. He is excited to delight the homeowners in his community and embark on this next phase of his career.&nbsp;“I want to build up a team locally that our neighbors can trust,” said Hughes. “That is important to me, because we’ve all dealt with residential service providers that were lackluster or untrustworthy. Most important to me is to build a team where we can legitimately earn that trust and do really good work for a fair price and a fixed quote. We do what we say we are going to do.”In the nearly 20 years since Fresh Coat was founded, the brand has carved out a lucrative niche by servicing clients and projects of all types. It has expanded from a small residential painting business to also include commercial offerings. Clients have hired the company to paint medical and dental offices, business offices, apartments, schools, government buildings and more. And with franchisees from coast to coast, it’s an excellent partnering option for large-scale businesses.Fresh Coat’s new Augusta location is the latest addition to the franchise brand’s fast-growing roster, which now includes over 170 locations across the country.&nbsp;“In five years, we want to be the number-one painting company in the U.S.,” said Fresh Coat President&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tararileymba?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=local-resident-andrew-hughes-to-open-first-fresh-coat-painters-location-in-augusta-georgia-2722999" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tara Riley</a>. “We know that means we have to find the right franchisees, help them grow profitable businesses and continue to expand our footprint. Andrew is a fantastic addition to Fresh Coat, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with talented and hard-working new owners like him across the country. We know they will find great success in Augusta.”The Fresh Coat team has identified several other markets primed for franchise growth, with plans to hit 200 units by the end of the year. These markets include Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit<a href="https://1851franchise.com/freshcoat/info">&nbsp;https://1851franchise.com/freshcoat/info</a>ABOUT FRESH COAT PAINTERS:Fresh Coat Painters, the residential and commercial painting franchise under the Strategic Franchising Systems umbrella, offers a low-cost, high-margin business model that gives entrepreneurs from all walks of life the chance to become successful business owners in the communities they serve.
