Rust-Oleum Coatings
We have been leaders in the coatings industry since 1996 when we began building our national network of Perma-Tech® Sprayed-On Bed Liner dealers. This was shortly followed by our national network of Perma-Tech® Industrial Coatings contractors. The next logical step was to bring our industrial strength coatings to the home improvement market. In 2003 the first Stone to Foam® dealerships were established, making the highest quality floor coatings and foam insulation available to homeowners and small business owners. In 2008 we became STF and partnered with Home Depot, creating opportunities nationwide for people just like you to realize their business goals. We offer products on which you can build a solid future.
Success breeds success! Our company founder and president have a combined experience of more than 70 years in the home building and remodeling business. They are totally committed to helping Stone to Foam® dealers be successful - and they understand what it takes. They are here to help you start a totally new business with us or add Stone to Foam® to your already successful, related business.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
