Klappenberger and Son Painting & Handyman has been a trusted name for professional painting and handyman services in the Maryland, D.C. and Virginia area for three decades. The Company has done jobs at the White House, Pentagon, Smithsonian, numerous historical properties, as well as jobs for thousands of commercial and residential clients. The company's emphasis has always been on quality people, quality work, and quality equipment and products. Out of this wealth of experience, David Klappenberger has created a franchise program with sophisticated operating systems, first-class training, and individualized attention that positions motivated franchise owners to achieve their income and return on investment goals.

​

Ideal Candidate: The ideal candidate for a Klappenberger & Son franchise is an "executive" type individual with management and marketing experience that wants to build a significant business. They are not necessarily looking for someone who wants to buy a job and paint houses. Of course, those individuals who want to take a more "hands-on" approach and be in the field more are also welcome, but the emphasis is the owner who will be more of a manager and oversee the business, as well as develop the market with commercial accounts (like property managers) and residential customers.

​

This is a "relationship business" and what drives success is first-class work and repeat business. In contrast to some other painting or handyman franchise competitors, Klappenberger & Son "stacks the deck" for the franchisee by giving them a franchise territory that is substantially larger than the competitors. The investment level is also much lower than one for the smaller the territories. This allows the franchisee to get into the business at a very modest cost, but have the size and scope to grow and ultimately build a significantly larger business. And Dave Klappenberger will provide six weeks of personalized training, both classroom and in the field, compared with the typical two weeks of training from other franchisors in this space.
