Description

House Painting & Decorating Contractors in the US

The rich history of painting is not just a splash of vibrant hues on canvas but an intermingling of artistry and craftsmanship, particularly in residential painting. This distinct genre of painting has always stood apart from other contract paint jobs, such as commercial or industrial painting, due to its emphasis on personalizing spaces and making houses feel like homes. However, the residential painting industry was not left unscathed by the economic aftershocks of COVID, dropping 6.9% in 2023. The housing market freeze following high interest rates caused a significant slowdown in residential painting jobs, as fewer people were buying homes, and those who did were less likely to invest in professional painting services. Overall, painting contractors expanded 1.6% to $24.7 billion from 2018 through 2023, as profit fell to 6.3%.

This industry provides interior and exterior painting services for homes and apartment buildings. Industry operators also provide wall covering services. Contractors may perform new work, additions, alterations, maintenance and repairs.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
