Spray-Net Takes the Paint Industry by STORM
Manage episode 440765323 series 3393253
Join us as we welcome back Carmelo Marsala, founder and CEO of SprayNet, to the Path to Freedom podcast. Carmelo shares the inspiring journey of how SprayNet was born out of his dissatisfaction with traditional painting methods. From his early days as a painting franchisee to pursuing a formulation course and collaborating with chemists, Carmelo recounts the development of a proprietary line of coatings that deliver factory-quality finishes to residential exteriors. Learn about the multiple patents they've secured and how the company has expanded across North America, bringing innovation to the forefront of the painting industry.
Listen in as we explore the specialized spray application techniques that set SprayNet apart from conventional paint spraying. Discover how they minimize common issues like overspray and sagging, and how they've ventured into new services, including roof applications and kitchen cabinet refacing. Carmelo shares the challenges and triumphs of evolving from a seasonal exterior painting business in Canada to a multi-service operation. A particularly fascinating project in Wisconsin is highlighted, showcasing their continuous drive for innovation and customer satisfaction.
Finally, we delve into SprayNet's franchise growth and the strategic decisions behind their expansion. With 31 franchisees in Canada and nearly 38 in the US, Carmelo discusses the differences in operating in these markets and the comprehensive training programs designed to support franchisees, particularly those new to business ownership. Emphasizing the importance of continuous growth and structured support systems, we also touch on the franchise's plans for future expansion, especially in key US markets. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of innovation, business growth, and the painting industry.
