Frequently Asked Questions

What types of home services franchises are available?

Home services span many trades: plumbing, HVAC, electrical, painting, handyman, roofing, window/door installation, pest control, lawn care, and general contracting. Each category has different licensing requirements and investment levels detailed in the FDDs.

Do I need trade experience for a home services franchise?

Many home services franchises operate on a manager model — you run the business while hiring licensed technicians. Some brands provide training, while others require or prefer owners with industry background. Item 15 of the FDD explains qualification requirements.

What is the average investment for a home services franchise?

Most home services franchises require $80K-$300K to start, including vehicles, equipment, and working capital. Some premium brands or those requiring commercial space can exceed $500K. FDD Item 7 provides the complete investment breakdown.

Are home services franchises recession-proof?

Essential home services (plumbing, HVAC, electrical) tend to be recession-resilient because repairs can't be delayed. Discretionary services (remodeling, painting) may slow in downturns. Check Item 20 for how unit counts held during recent economic cycles.
