What does a brand change include?
A painting brand change covers every painted surface that carries the old brand: building exteriors, interiors, awnings, roof caps, EIFS and the sign band. We price and deliver it as painting scope, and fit around your sign vendor’s schedule.
Exterior repaint
Walls, trim, doors, bollards and canopies in the new brand colors.
Interior repaint
Sales floor, accent walls, restrooms and back of house to the new interior standard.
Awnings and roof caps
Metal awnings, roof caps, drip edge and parapet trim repainted to the new accent color.
EIFS and accent bands
EIFS repairs and paint, including the accent bands that carry the brand color.
Sign-band patch and repaint
After old signs come down, we patch the holes and shadows and repaint the band so the new sign goes onto a clean face.
Storefront restore
Every site handed back to one brand standard, with photos to prove it.
How does a rebrand painting program run?
You send a store list and the new brand standard; we agree scope and a per-site price, prove it on pilot sites, then roll out in scheduled waves with photo reporting at every store. From your side it looks like this:
- Store list and standard. You share the sites, the new color standard and any target dates.
- Scope and price per site. Scope and per-site price are agreed before the first site, from photos, site walks or your prototype drawings.
- Pilot sites. One or two sites are painted first so your team can sign off the finished look before the program scales.
- Scheduled waves. Sites are grouped by market and dates, around store events, sign installs and remodels.
- Store-by-store reporting. Each site shows status and before-and-after photos, so your construction, brand and operations teams see the same picture.
- Close-out. Each site closes with photos and sign-off, on one invoice format across the program.
One NPP program team runs every site. The painting is done by NPP’s partner crews in each market, held to one program standard and one spec. How we deliver multi-location programs →
Which kinds of brand change do you paint?
We paint conversions after mergers and acquisitions, dual-brand to single-brand changes, full re-images and refreshes to updated standards, for retail, QSR, banks and other multi-site brands.
Merger and acquisition conversions
Acquired locations repainted to the buyer’s brand, often on a fixed conversion date. See our bank branch conversion work.
Dual-brand to single-brand
A national dollar-store chain converted 151 dual-branded stores to one brand, with the legacy accent color changed to the new brand red on roof trim, drip edge, EIFS accent bands and steel canopies across multiple states. Read the dual-brand conversion case study →
Re-imaging
Prototype changes to colors and finishes rolled out across existing sites.
Refresh to new standards
Updated palettes and finishes applied store by store as part of a maintenance cycle.
Verticals we have painted at program scale: retail, dollar stores, QSR and drive-ins, quick lube, banks and credit unions, pharmacy and convenience stores.
How long does a 100-store rebrand take?
It depends mostly on scope per site and how fast your schedule releases sites. Two of our programs show the pace a multi-market program can run at:
- Dual-brand conversion: 149 of 151 stores started in a four-week window (August 4 to September 1, 2025), with up to 41 store starts in one week.
- Retail rollout: 253 stores in about 14 weeks, all overnight, with up to 10 stores in one night. See the 253-store program.
What drives your timeline: scope per site (interior, exterior or both), pilot sign-off, sign and remodel sequencing, weather for exterior work, permits or landlord approvals, and any blackout dates. These are past results, not a promise for your program; we build your schedule from your store list. As of November 2026.
What does a rebrand repaint cost per store?
An interior or exterior store refresh starts from about $2,900 per site, and most fall in the $2,900 to $6,300 range. A full exterior brand conversion, such as a QSR or quick lube re-image, starts from about $12,000, and most fall in the $12,000 to $23,000 range.
These are NPP’s per-site prices on completed work, as of November 2026. Your price depends on:
- Scope per site: exterior, interior, awnings, roof caps, EIFS, sign bands
- Building size and surface condition
- Access, lifts and after-hours requirements
- Number and spread of sites
A site walk or a set of photos firms it up. Send your store list and we will price the program per site.
Rebrand Painting Questions
Who can repaint hundreds of stores to new brand colors?
National Painting Partners runs multi-location brand change painting in all 50 states. We have completed 1,740 projects since March 2024, including a 151-store dual-brand conversion and a 253-store overnight retail rollout. One program team manages every site, with one contract, one point of contact and store-by-store photo reporting.
How do you keep brand colors consistent across states?
Every site is painted to one approved color standard and one spec, agreed with your brand team before the first site. Pilot sites set the finished look your team signs off. Each store is then photographed before and after, so you can check color and coverage at any location without a site visit. More on brand color consistency.
Can stores stay open during a rebrand repaint?
Yes, in most cases. We schedule work after hours, overnight or in sections so stores keep trading. Our 253-store retail rollout was done entirely overnight, with each store open on time the next morning. Exterior work is planned around customer traffic, parking and weather, and the plan for each site is agreed with your operations team.
How long does a 100-store rebrand take?
It depends on scope per site, pilot sign-off, sign sequencing and how fast your schedule releases sites. On one conversion we started 149 stores in four weeks, up to 41 in one week. On another program we completed 253 stores in about 14 weeks. We build your schedule from your store list rather than quoting a generic timeline.
What does a multi-location rebrand repaint cost?
Store refreshes start from about $2,900 per site, with most between $2,900 to $6,300. Full exterior brand conversions start from about $12,000, with most between $12,000 to $23,000. These are NPP’s per-site prices on completed work. Your price depends on scope, size, access and hours, and a site walk or photos firms it up.
Do you start with pilot sites?
Yes. We paint one or two pilot sites first so your brand, construction and operations teams can approve the finished result, the photo reporting and the site handover. Once the pilot is signed off, the same standard is applied to every store in the program, and the rollout is scheduled in waves by market and date.
Who does the painting: your employees or subcontractors?
One NPP program team, including a program manager, coordinators, quality checks and scheduling, runs every site. The painting is done by NPP’s partner crews in each market, held to one program standard and one spec. You get one contract, one point of contact and one invoice format, whatever state the store is in.
Is the scope agreed before work starts?
Yes. Scope and per-site price are agreed before the first site, based on your brand standard, photos or site walks, and the pilot results. Each site is then delivered and reported against that agreed scope. If a site turns out to need something different, it is raised with photos and agreed with you before the work goes ahead.
How soon can a multi-location painting program start?
Usually within a few days. Once the site list, scope and colors are agreed, we can schedule the pilot sites within a few days, and in most major markets we can typically mobilize crews within 48 to 72 hours. The pace of the full rollout is set with you after the pilots are approved.
Do you warranty your painting work?
Yes. NPP provides a one-year workmanship warranty on the painting we perform, starting when each site is completed and signed off. It covers workmanship defects such as peeling, loss of adhesion, missed areas or uneven coverage on surfaces we painted. Paint product defects fall under the manufacturer’s warranty. Full terms are set out in your agreement.
