Five Star Painting Rolls Into Houston with NBA Star

Springville, Utah - September 8, 2008 - The fastest growing painting franchise in the world, Five Star Painting, announced the purchase of the entire Houston, Texas franchise area by NBA star of the New Orleans’s Hornets, Mike James and his wife Angela. The franchise will cover all of the Houston area and represents a significant milestone for Five Star Painting as it continues to attract top talent, from all backgrounds and experience levels.

For Mike and Angela James, Five Star Painting was just what they were looking for, "Angela and I started MAJA Development, a custom home building company in 2006, and hired outside contractors to do our painting.  When we learned of the opportunities available through Five Star Painting, it was a perfect fit. We love their team, their technology, and their concept and we are excited to add it to our other projects" James says. The Houston franchise group provides services to residential and commercial customers throughout the entire Houston area. With Five Star Painting, customers can expect quality service in the following areas:

• Residential interior and exterior painting
• Commercial interior and exterior painting
• Deck refinishing
• Staining
• Wallpaper removal
• Pressure washing
• Texture and drywall repair
• Epoxy flooring
• Graffiti removal and cover-up

The James and their franchisee team of Five Star Painters in the Houston area have polished and perfected their skills to ensure beautiful and professional work through Five Star’s painter certification program. Five Star Painting’s corporate office and staff plan to have a regular support presence in Houston as Five Star now has 5 franchisees in Texas, with more to come soon. Scott Abbot, the CEO of Five Star Painting Franchise, looks forward to the future with this promising new franchise group, "We are very pleased to have Mike and Angela and their team at MAJA Development join our family here at Five Star. I am confident that they will provide the quality service and dedication that Five Star Painting is known for. Mike has already proven to be a success at a high level on the court, and we have been extremely impressed with Angela and the development company they have put together. We know they will be successful as they begin their business and start rolling out the paint." Mike and Angela have built a successful legacy in MAJA development, their full service custom building company specializing in luxury properties, homes, and personal estates. Together with Five Star Painting Mike and Angela James have a successful team in place and an aggressive strategy to take over the Houston market as developers, builders and painters of premier properties. Houston will soon notice Five Star Painting as they do in other Texas cities such as Austin, San Antonio and Dallas.
