OUR STORY

 

Curb appeal is our passion.
Innovation is how we made it happen.

IT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE QUESTION…

 

“Why can’t you paint my vinyl windows?”

Fun fact: before creating Spray-Net, Carmelo Marsala was a College Pro franchisee. One day during one of his jobs, his customer asked him if he could paint his vinyl windows. Limited to off-the-shelf products and a brush and roller, he couldn’t. He knew the finish would look streaky and would eventually peel and chip. He then thought, “if brand-new siding, doors and windows were painted, but just in a factory, there must be a way to bring that factory finish and durability outside and on-site.” So, Carmelo went to work and Spray-Net was born!

 

He started building a team and met with paint specialists to figure out how to deliver a factory finish outside the controlled environment of the factory. And not just for doors and windows. But for a bunch of different exterior surfaces. This way, homeowners could get that flawless look and superior durability without having to pay to replace everything.

 

We faced two major obstacles. First, the product. Factory coatings are customized to the surface being painted. So, we needed a custom coating for each surface we wanted to renew. Second, the painting environment itself. A factory allows you to create optimal conditions for painting. Real life? Not so much. Since we can’t control the environment we paint in, we had to figure out a way to adjust the paint to real-time weather conditions. We were looking for products that didn’t exist, so we had to create them ourselves to achieve what we wanted to do.

 

Of course, we went through a lot of trial and error. Eventually, we got the product just right. The last step was to develop the intelligence, The Spray-Network, to help us adjust our paint on-site, in real time according to the weather parameters of the day. With smarter product development, we optimized painting.

SINCE 2010, WE’VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY

’10

After running his own student painting franchise, then 23-year-old Carmelo Marsala found Spray-Net and the permanent exterior paint solution! His goal was to offer homeowners a like-new factory finish that could save them on the cost of replacement- even on those surfaces you would think couldn’t be painted at all, like aluminum and vinyl doors and windows.

 

Spray-Net ditches the brush and roller and instead opts for the spray gun.

OUR VISION, MISSION & VALUES.

 

We don’t stop and won’t stop when it comes to innovating smarter, cost-effective solutions for homeowners to revamp their homes. If you’re not one for challenging the status quo, a Spray-Net franchise ain’t for you. After all, we’d still be painting with a brush and roller if we didn’t.

 

We’re inquisitive. We’re curious. Using science and technology, we’re all about finding new and better ways to renovate.

Our Vision

 

To create the perfect fusion of science & style… and for homeowners to realize: You can paint it. You can replace it. Or you can Spray-Net it.

Our Mission
