About Color World House Painting

Thomas Hodgson started painting in 1993, and he created and incorporated Color World Housepainting in 1997. In 2000, expansion within Ohio began, and satellite markets were opened in Dayton and Cincinnati. The first out-of-state market, Ft. Lauderdale, began operating in 2003 and remained open for three and a half years. However, this market was closed to provide an opportunity for franchising and to allow the company to focus on its growth within Ohio. Accordingly, a Cleveland office was started. Since that time, Color World has experienced rapid growth, opening two markets in North Carolina, Charlotte and Raleigh and is recognized as one of the leading exterior residential painting companies in North America, and the leader in Ohio.
