These names are great if you already have a reputation for excellent work, but there are some important downsides. A family name won’t tell people much about your brand if they don’t already know you. It can also create the perception of a smaller scale company, which might limit your chances with larger commercial clients.

How Can I Choose a Name for my Painting Business?

The right name can help give painting business owners a competitive edge, and it’s an important part of your painting business plan. Here are a few tips on best practices when choosing a painting business name:

  • Strike a balance: Ideally, your name should balance descriptive and creative elements. It should emphasize your business but also tell customers who your company is as a brand. Consider adding words like “Automotive” or “Exterior” if you specialize in a particular service.

  • Make a list: Come up with a few different names you like. That way, if your favorite name is already used by someone else, you don’t have to start from square one.

  • Check the US trademark database: If someone else is doing business under the same name, it could lead to a lawsuit. Check the US Trademark Database to ensure your business name is free to use.

  • Google it first: What shows up when you search for painting services in your area? Take stock of competitor names to see how yours can stand out.

  • Consider your URL: You may not be able to use the URL you want, but make sure you can choose a domain name that’s similar to your business name.

  • Search on social: Search for your business name on the social channels you plan to use to ensure it’s not already taken. If it is, you’ll risk confusing customers.

  • Get a second (and third) opinion: Ask family, friends, and colleagues what they think of your business name. They may have perspectives you haven’t considered.

Once you’ve decided on a name, it’s time to make it official by registering it.

How Can I Register My Painting Business Name?

To register your painting business name, you’ll need to contact the right government agency.

In the US, there are four different ways you can register your business name:

  • Entity name: This protects your business name at the state level. Each state has different rules about names, but most won’t let you register a name already taken. 

  • Trademark: This protects your business name at a national level. Trademarking your name is a good idea to trademark your name, especially if you plan to expand nationally.

  • Doing Business As (DBA): You’ll need this if you do business under a name that’s different from your entity name. For example, you might get a DBA if your business is named “Springfield Painting Associates, but you want to bill customers as “Springfield Exteriors.”

  • Domain name: Registering your domain name protects your URL online. Registering similar names is also a good idea if you can afford it. This avoids confusion when someone sets up the same name under a different suffix (for example, both yourname.com and yourname.net).

If you’re in Canada, you must register your business name unless you’re doing business under your own name. Like the US, you can register a provincial trade name, national trademark, DBA, and domain name.

How Can I Find More Unique Painting Company Name Ideas?

If you want even more ideas for the perfect name, there are a lot of resources out there to help. For example, you could:

  • Use AI: Chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama can all provide creative suggestions for names. In your prompt, be as specific as possible for the best results. For example, “Give me a list of professional-sounding names for a painting company. I want the name to convey quick service, friendliness, and high-quality results.”

  • Partner up with creatives: If you have the budget for it, professional marketers can come up with painting business name ideas that will make a lasting impression. They’ll be able to do all the necessary research and guide you on best practices for naming your painting company.

  • Ask others: Reach out to friends, family, and colleagues in your network to get their take on business names. You never know who might come up with the perfect one!

  • Use a name generator: Websites like Wix and Shopify have free business name generators you can use. Just type in a few keywords and hit “submit,” and they’ll create a list of new names in seconds.

Your business name is important, but it’s only the first step. The next step is setting up your accounting workflows, pricing, website, and marketing.

What to Do After Finding Your Painting Business Name

Once you’ve found a business name you like, it’s time to start building your painting business.

Handle your accounting and insurance needs

First, you’ll need to protect your painting business with commercial property insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, general and professional liability insurance, and auto insurance.

Then, you’ll need a way to track all your operational expenses and cash flow. Many painting businesses start with spreadsheets, but manual data entry can create errors that will cost you.

Instead, you can automate your accounting with ServiceTitan. It lets you manage all your accounting and finance operations in one place, including customer payments, expense tracking, labor costs, and more.

For example, you can track the status of every unpaid invoice to follow up more quickly and keep your cash flow healthy.

ServiceTitan also integrates with Quickbooks and Sage Intacct to ensure complete financial control at every step.

Decide on your pricing strategy

Once you have a system in place, it’s time to consider pricing. Your price should be competitive but  should also account for all the labor and materials you need, as well as a healthy profit margin.

For professional painters, that can get complicated fast. It can be easy to underestimate how much paint you’ll need for a project, mistype figures, or rely on guesswork to determine how much a job should cost.

Fortunately, ServiceTitan can help with that, too. ServiceTitan’s Pricebook feature works right from your phone, so your techs can provide complete, accurate quotes every time.

The Setup Wizard automatically adds a few hundred common services and materials to set you set up in a day, with pricing for similar companies and services in your area.

It includes Smart Recommendations to drive upsells, with explainer PDFs your technicians can use to help close the sale.

Your pricebook will also automatically update material prices the moment they change in manufacturer catalogs, so the increased cost of materials will not affect your bottom line.

And with dashboards and built-in reporting built in, you’ll always know exactly where you stand in the market. 

Build your website

If you want to start getting painting contracts, an online presence—aka a website—is a must. That’s because 87 percent of your future customers will Google your business before they book with you.

To get started, you can make a website with a service like Squarespace or Wix to get started. These services have built-in SEO and mobile optimization features, but you must create the content.

Your website should have:

  • Intuitive menus with landing pages for different services

  • The best testimonials from satisfied customers

  • FAQ sections that answer common questions

  • Contact forms and click-to-call buttons for appointments

  • Persuasive content that highlights your expertise

But a strong website won’t guarantee more business. You’ll also have to market your business effectively to grab people's attention.

Market your painting business

Marketing your painting business will increase your brand’s visibility, get more leads, and help your business grow. But for painting companies, marketing isn’t always intuitive.

ServiceTitan’s Marketing Pro feature has everything you need to get started. For example, Local Services Ads help you appear at the top of Google search, and ServiceTitan’s integration lets customers book right from the ad.

Once people start booking with you, you’ll generate a long contact list. Use ServiceTitan’s email feature to reach out to them, using professionally designed templates that grab attention. 

You can also create a target audience from the customer info you already have in the app. This means you can decide to send emails to a specific segment of customers—for example, people who have already booked an exterior paint job and are due for a refresh.

And with email performance metrics right at your fingertips, you’ll know exactly what messages resonate with your audience.

As you book more jobs, you’ll get more online reviews—and managing them is an important part of marketing your business.

ServiceTitan's Reputation Management helps you manage and respond to reviews across all your business listings and social media from a central hub. This can save your reputation because if someone leaves a negative review, you can respond immediately.

Looking for more five-star reviews? ServiceTitan can also automate review requests as soon as a tech completes a job.

With all your marketing features connected to your business operations, it’s much easier to attract more leads and track their activity from their first click to their last invoice.

That means you’ll also have a complete picture of the ROI of all your campaigns. Instead of tracking clicks and engagement, ServiceTitan lets you see which of your marketing efforts actually generated revenue.

Now that you know all your next steps, it’s time to go back to deciding on a unique name!
