While some people remodel their homes, others are busy remodeling their lives. Corporate America keeps laying people off, and they keep starting businesses. Jobs are coming back to America because Americans are creating them. Boston North Shore, Massachusetts, November 6, 2009 You just got laid off from your job that you have had for years, now what? Invest in a painting franchise. What?? That’s right, a painting franchise. That is what Steven Oransky from the North Shore area of Boston decided to do. With the delay in the real estate market, fewer people are buying homes. Most Americans have realized they will have to remain in their current homes and wait for the market to turn around. What is the single largest investment that most Americans have? “Home Sweet Home” and this investment for many has gone sour. What is one of the best ways to make what was once old new? A fresh coat of paint. This is where Steve and Carmelina turned to find Five Star Painting, a franchise system with operations in three countries and many states in the USA. They recently purchased a Five Star Painting franchise in Essex County of Massachusetts. Steve has been in the residential design/build business for 25 years. Originally from Maine, Steve still maintains his down-east values: integrity, a strong work ethic and good old common sense. Carmelina has over 20 years of human resource management expertise and over a decade of color and interior decorating experience. Since the downturn of the economy, they have been searching for control of their own career destiny in the workforce. Together they decided to combine their skills and did a lot of research on how to start their own franchise. They explored for something that had proven systems and a repeatable process. Steve and Carmelina came across Five Star Painting and dove right in. With a lifetime of work experience under their belts and great savings, they were able to fund this opportunity. Knowing that Five Star Painting has grown abundantly in the last four years, Steve and Carmelina are thrilled to carry on that abundance. Scott Abbott, CEO of Five Star Painting, is thrilled to have Mike as the newest member of his growing team. "We are excited to attract Mike Christensen to the Five Star team. Mike has some excellent background in the service sector and understands the importance of customer service. We look forward to watching Mike grow his business in the Dallas market and support him in delivering a Five Star job to home owners in his area." Mike has spent 25 years in engineering, technical sales and business development in the semiconductor industry. Mike also founded and spent two years as president of a successful commercial construction company. Mike currently lives in a Northeast suburb of Dallas (Wylie) with his family. Five Star Painting is the fastest growing, and second largest, painting franchise in North America with operations from California to Florida, and from Canada to Mexico. Five Star Painting is seeing phenomenal expansion from current and new franchisees in order to meet the growing demands of its clients across North America.
