If you're exploring a business model that's simple, scalable, and solves real-world problems, there's one home service franchise quietly taking over local markets across the U.S. What makes it stand out? It’s not just the 18 essential services it provides — it’s the smart bundling, executive ownership model, and low startup cost that’s turning heads and filling bank accounts.
In this post, we break down insights from franchise expert Beau Eckstein on how this unique opportunity became a market leader in the home services industry and why it's the perfect time to jump in.
🏡 A Franchise Built to Solve Real Problems
This franchise wasn’t born from a gimmick. It was founded by a corporate attorney and real estate investor who kept seeing the same lawsuits: property managers and landlords getting sued for maintenance neglect. So he built a solution — a franchise model offering 18 essential home maintenance services such as:
- Gutter cleaning
- Air filter replacement
- Power washing
- Draining water heaters
- And more — all no license required
Think of it as the Jiffy Lube of home services: fast, affordable, recurring maintenance that landlords, homeowners, and property managers depend on.
🚀 Low-Cost, High-Scalability Business Model
One of the biggest advantages? You don’t need a storefront. This is a non-brick-and-mortar business you can launch from home.
Here’s how it works:
- Start with 1 van and 2 technicians
- No special skills needed — just hire handy people
- Corporate provides full training and support
- Scale by adding vans, not buildings
With low overhead and fast ramp-up, this model is designed for entrepreneurs who want high-margin, recurring revenue without a lot of red tape.
🔁 Multiple Recurring Revenue Streams
The franchise doesn't rely on just one type of customer. It taps into four major verticals:
1. Property Management
Before launch, corporate helps you connect with at least 10 local property managers, each managing around 300 homes. That’s built-in recurring revenue for quarterly or biannual services — and a great foundation for long-term cash flow.
2. Real Estate
Through a partnership with Berkshire Hathaway, you’ll help prepare homes for sale with service certifications. This unique offering is poised to become a standard in pre-sale home maintenance.
3. Direct-to-Consumer Homeowners
Older homeowners and busy professionals increasingly outsource maintenance tasks, creating demand for reliable bundled services.
4. Commercial and Facility Work
Larger jobs like power washing stadiums and office buildings deliver higher ticket revenue and further diversify your income streams.
👨💼 Executive Ownership: Not a Job, a Scalable Business
This opportunity is not for “guys in a truck”. The franchisor wants executive-level owners who:
- Manage operations, not perform the services
- Focus on building relationships and acquiring contracts
- Use KPIs to drive growth
- Hire and train staff to expand into multiple vans or territories
Whether you’re a former executive or aspiring entrepreneur, this is a build-to-scale model — not a hands-on handyman gig.
🤝 Franchise Support from A to Z
Franchisees get white-glove onboarding, including:
- Website setup
- Local lead generation
- Technician training
- Truck outfitting
- Corporate support in building local property manager partnerships
That means you’re not starting from scratch. You're launching with a system built for growth.
💰 Lower Risk, Faster ROI Than Traditional Models
With no retail space, minimal staffing, and high retention, this model beats traditional franchises in terms of startup risk and return potential. Plus, because the services are bundled and efficient, customers save money — and your business becomes an obvious solution in your local market.
