Neighborly?

For father-son duo Kevin McManus Sr. and Kevin McManus Jr., owners of Five Star Painting? of Charleston, business is a family affair – and it’s not the only venture the family has in common. Kevin Sr. and Kevin Jr. both served in the United States Air Force, with a combined 36 years of service before joining the Neighborly network of more than 450 Veteran business owners. Now, they bring the same dedication, discipline, and teamwork they learned in the Air Force to serve their community in Charleston. Their advice to other Veterans considering franchising? “Go for it!” shared Kevin Sr. “Utilize those military skills you learned, always do the right thing, and take the risk to fuel the passion to fulfill your life goals.” Thank you to the McManuses and all our Veteran franchise owners for your service and commitment to Neighborly’s brands.
