Texas native opened essential business May 1 with the goal to “make houses homes”

May 04, 2020 // Franchising.com // FORT WORTH, Tx. – While many businesses are halting operations, a Fort Worth resident and U.S. Army veteran is bringing a Columbus-founded franchise concept to his community. Color World Housepainting, a painting and contracting company, has opened in Fort Worth on May 1 as an essential business to serve its community amid the pandemic.

Dave Gardner, a proud Texas native, is excited to invest in his community and use his business to help people love their homes. After returning from the Army, Gardner was a residential construction superintendent and became passionate about peoples’ homes and the memories that live in them.

Color World Housepainting provides homeowners with quality interior and exterior painting services, in addition to commercial painting, power washing, carpentry and drywall repair, staining, gutter installation, and holiday lighting. The brand has been classified as an essential business and is ready to safely service homes, even during the pandemic. Gardner says he was drawn to the franchise because he thought it would be a great way to help beautify and better his community.

“Your house is a place you live, but your home is where all of your memories lie,” said Gardner. “I understand how important it is to love your space, and I can’t wait to play a part as families in the Fort Worth community build their homes. We’re all spending a lot of time at home right now, and I want to help people create a positive environment there.”

Proud of his Texas heritage, Gardner’s family has been in the area for 7 generations, with ancestors who even signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. He sees opening this business as a way to invest in his community and bring economic growth to the area that he is so grateful to be a part of.

“I love living in Fort Worth and I believe the best way to continue to build this community and make it great is to start a business here,” added Gardner. “Our city is full of independent people who like to support local businesses and support our neighbors. I see this as a great opportunity to connect with those people and help make them happy in their homes.”

Color World’s team of professional painters is highly experienced and uses top-quality products in order to deliver outstanding results each and every time. They also offer add-on services that go hand-in-hand with painting and allow customers to check one more thing off their to-do list and streamline their home improvement projects.
