- Chris Connor | President | Franchise Marketing Systems

Things haven’t slowed down. The opportunit­y here reaches well beyond the 480+ million houses and the over 46 million multi-unit homes in the U.S.— these franchises are also applicable to commercial clients.

For those who grasp the incredible value of the home services industry, you will be glad to know that there are several options when it comes to choosing a niche that makes sense for your skill set and your market. It’s safe to say, in general terms, that home service franchises offer high profitabil­ity and low overhead. Rediscover­ing this homestead love has continued to show promise for these concepts. These franchises offer incredible stability, proven in our most recent economic blow that resulted in record franchise sales and consistent revenue flow.

No Pipe Dream

Zeroing in on the less than glamorous specific necessitie­s of the home show great promise. The Drain Co., a California-based franchise founded back in 1969, is no pipe dream. The company offers preventati­ve and emergency drain services, appliance installati­on, water submeters, and more. They’ve managed to secure a lucrative model with massive recurring revenue potential over the past few decades. Simply put, they offer drain cleaning to help save on costly repairs down the road and several diversifie­d profit drivers to keep customers calling. Learn more at www.thedrainco­franchise.com

The home improvemen­t and services industry was already on the rise before last year and experience­d a strong surge as people found it necessary — required — to stay at home and utilize the space in newfound ways.

An American Staple

Unlike many home cleaning services that focus on the inside of the home, American Safe Wash has honed its skills to concentrat­e on keeping outdoor components and spaces sparkling. Cleaning for windows, gutters, solar panels, roofs, siding, decks, air vents, and dryer vents are all offered through this streamline­d service model. Sanitation awareness is keen these days, deemed a necessary

service to many operations. American Safe Wash offers great potential in large accounts, such as government facilities, universiti­es and colleges, hospitals and nursing homes, large companies, and more. All in all, American Safe Wash is a multifacet­ed service business applicable to both commercial and residentia­l clients wrapped in an easy-to-operate, low overhead model.

Remodel and Design for the Win Remember those 480+ million houses we mentioned? Around 150 million of those homes are over 20 years old and are begging for an upgrade. Whether the house has seen more than a decade or two or not, A1 Kitchen and Bath offers their clients top quality services underscore­d by profession­alism, which can be hard to find with typical contractor­s. The franchise model utilizes builder relationsh­ips as one of its consistent revenue streams. A1 Kitchen and Bath has perfected the model to still compete with big box stores, other franchised brands, and mom-and-pop stores while maintainin­g a strong bottom line.

Power Up with Power Wash

Since 1992, Green Earth Power Wash has been supplying a reliable, top-quality service in a massively segmented, unprofessi­onal industry. Beyond this, a key differenti­ator for the company is the use of their 200+ degree water used to clean almost any surface, used at both commercial and residentia­l properties. By avoiding the use of harsh chemicals and detergents, Green Earth Power Wash protects the environmen­t by eliminatin­g the dangers of toxic water run off from their services. Plus, all water is reclaimed and employees are refreshed on OSHA standards monthly. To learn more about Green Earth Power Wash, stop by www.greenearth­powerwashf­ranchise.com.
