We live in a different era. This era is characterized by fast paced and busy lifestyle, long commute time to work and less time available for getting acquainted with the family and for taking care of personal and family matters. The pressure is getting higher and higher and the limited time we have during the weekends and vacations for getting relaxed and rejuvenate ourselves for the upcoming week has become more and more precious. In this condition a “Honey Do” list is like a pain in the back when it comes to doing the mundane tasks of repairing a leaking facet or changing a hard to reach light bulb and maybe that’s why such a list doesn’t exist anymore in many families. Nevertheless, still things break in homes and someone needs to do the fix-up work.
For many families also age is catching up especially with the Boomers who made Do-It-Yourself so successful. Instead of getting up on a ladder to install that new ceiling fan, they’d now rather pay someone to do it. This shift has created the skyrocketing Do-It-For-Me market-and it’s huge. Over 80-million Boomers have turned 60. Add dual income families with time constraints and upwardly mobile young professionals, and you have a North American market that will spend over $150-billion annually on home repair services.
Home repair and maintenance franchises have been among the most popular franchise concepts in the U.S. in the past 10 years. These franchises are mostly designed to address a list of common problems that need to be fixed around the home. They do not usually do projects or anything that requires a general contractor’s license, but rather focus on fairly common repair tasks that still require experience and takes a lot of effort and time from the property owner to get fixed.
Here on the bottom of this page you can find our list of handyman franchise businesses. It is very important to note that as with any franchise, the secret to success is to do your research before deciding to enter into the franchise agreement. We have explained in detail six different steps that you should take when investigating a franchise. You need to talk to franchisor to discover how effective the franchise system is in helping you succeed in your business. Does the system have a great marketing program to attract customers and employees? Does it have an automated scheduling program (perhaps with a national call center) to make sure the employees are busy generating revenue for the franchisee all day every day? Make sure to contact a number of their franchisees and ask them all about the business. What’s good and what’s not? What kind of numbers are they producing, and what are their major difficult issues with the business? Finally, if they had to do it all over again, what would they change and would they get this franchise again?
