How Supporting a Family-Owned Business Over a Franchise Makes a Difference

Aug 25, 2024

As a family-owned and operated painting company that has proudly served the metro Atlanta area since 1991, we understand the significance of choosing the right business to trust with your home or commercial property’s painting needs. While many large franchises dominate the industry in our area, we firmly believe that local, family-run businesses bring unique benefits that national or even regional chains can’t replicate.

Supporting a small, family-owned business like ours goes beyond just the service we provide—it’s an investment in the community. Here’s why working with us, a local company, matters and how it positively impacts both you and the community.

Personalized Service & Genuine Care

At our family-run business, we take pride in the level of care we extend to our customers. Unlike a franchise, where decisions and processes are often standardized, we tailor our services to your specific needs. Our reputation is built on long-lasting relationships with our clients, many of whom we’ve known for years. We don’t just see you as a transaction; you’re a valued part of our business’s growth story.

Being family-owned, every job matters deeply to us because it reflects our family name and legacy. When you work with us, you can expect direct communication, hands-on management, and attention to every detail—something that can often be lacking in franchise operations.

Supporting the Local Economy

When you choose a family-owned business, you’re keeping your money within your own community. For every dollar spent at a small local business, a significant portion stays local. This reinvestment helps to support other businesses, create jobs, and contribute to the growth and sustainability of Woodstock’s economy.

In contrast, franchises tend to funnel their earnings back to corporate headquarters, often located out of state. Supporting us means you’re helping a business that’s deeply rooted in your community. We live, work, and play in the same areas as you do, and it’s our goal to see this community thrive!

Unique Expertise and Local Knowledge

We’ve been painting homes and businesses in north metro Atlanta for over 30 years. This long-term experience allows us to provide more specialized expertise than franchise companies, whose painters might be new to the area or trained in a generic way.

Because we’re locals, we understand the unique characteristics of homes and buildings in this region. We’ve worked on everything from historical charm in the older homes in Woodstock, Canton, Alpharetta and Roswell, to the newer developments around Cherokee County and surrounding areas. We’re familiar with the climate and how it affects materials, finishes, and techniques, ensuring that our work is built to last in Georgia’s sometimes challenging weather conditions.

A Family Legacy You Can Trust

As a family-run business, we treat each project as if we were working on our own home. There’s a personal touch and sense of accountability that comes with that. We’ve built a reputation based on trust, quality, and honesty over the decades. When you choose us, you’re choosing more than just a painting company—you’re choosing to work with people who genuinely care about your satisfaction and the lasting beauty of your property.

Franchises may come and go, but our business has been a steady part of the north metro Atlanta community for years, thanks to the trust and loyalty of our clients. We’ve weathered economic ups and downs, and we intend to be here for many more years, maintaining that same level of service and dedication.

Community Involvement and Giving Back

Because we are local, we understand the importance of giving back. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of participating in and supporting various local events, charities, and schools. We take pride in being more than just a business in Woodstock—we’re a part of its fabric.

When you support a family-owned business, you’re also supporting the community efforts that often go unnoticed. Franchises may donate on a national level, but their contributions don’t always directly benefit local causes. By choosing us, you’re indirectly supporting local growth, events, and charity efforts that uplift the area you call home.

Flexibility and Adaptability

Unlike larger franchises that may be constrained by corporate policies, we have the flexibility to adapt to our customers’ needs. If something changes during a project, we can quickly adjust without waiting for approval from a distant headquarters. Whether it’s a change in color, finish, or scheduling, we can efficiently work with you to ensure the final result is exactly what you envisioned.

Building Long-Term Relationships

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a family business is the relationships we’ve built over the years. We’re proud to say that many of our clients are repeat customers who return to us for every project, whether they’re repainting their home’s exterior or freshening up their interior.

We don’t just want to complete a job and move on; we want to be your trusted painters for life. With us, you get continuity of service, a familiar face, and the peace of mind that we’ll be there to support you for any future needs.

In today’s fast-paced world, choosing convenience and going with a national chain or franchise is easy. However, by choosing a family-owned and operated business like ours, you’re making a conscious decision to support the local economy, invest in personalized service, and contribute to the growth of your community.

We take pride in every project we complete, and we’re grateful for the trust Woodstock and the surrounding areas have placed in us for over 30 years. From the entire team at Three Brothers Painting, we thank you for your continued choice of supporting local!
