Boston-Area Paint Contracting Leader, Arch Painting, Named to Inc.’s 2025 List of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the Northeast

Companies on the Inc. Regionals: Northeast list had a median growth rate of 100 percent.

Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today revealed that Arch Painting is No. 91 on its fifth annual Inc. Regionals: Northeast list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the Northeast, which includes Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the Regionals offer a unique look at the most successful companies within the Northeast economy’s most dynamic segment–its independent small businesses.

“I want to thank and commend our employees for their commitment and work ethic. They are Arch’s glue and the reason we have been able to achieve this great distinction,” said Rich Kilgannon, President and CEO of Arch Painting. “Their dedication to customer service and unparalleled quality has enabled Arch to expand from a regional provider to national leader offering matchless service and satisfaction.”

The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Northeast. Between 2021 and 2023, these private companies had a median growth rate of 100 percent; by 2023, they’d also added 9,114 jobs and $6.7 billion to the region’s economy. Arch’s strong growth makes it a natural fit for the list. During this timeframe, Arch has grown by 84 percent, as it continues to scale its commercial and residential businesses. In 2023, Arch acquired Paintzen the world’s leading technology platform for instant pricing and service booking. The company’s technology strategy is core to its next level growth initiatives.

“Arch has three characteristics that have fueled our growth,” said Kilgannon. “First, our employees provide an unmatched commitment to service excellence which is instilled throughout our workforce and carried out by our crews. Second, our vision and execution for delivering blue collar service with a white glove touch. Third, our use of innovation and automation to bring us closer to every prospect and customer, thus enabling superior service and experience. Our laser focus on these three criteria has enabled rapid growth matched with great customer satisfaction. And we expect these same attributes will continue to drive us for some time to come.”
