Richmond, Va. – Empower Brands announced today that four of its franchise brands have been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, recognizing Superior Fence & Rail, Koala Insulation, Bumble Roofing and Conserva Irrigation among America’s fastest-growing private companies.
Superior Fence & Rail ranked No. 2,037 on the list, followed by Koala Insulation at No. 3,002, Bumble Roofing at No. 3,667 and Conserva Irrigation at No. 3,911. The recognition highlights the continued growth of Empower Brands' portfolio of home services and skilled trades franchises and the strength of the franchise owners and teams driving expansion across the country.
“Having four Empower Brands companies recognized on the Inc. 5000 is an incredible achievement and a testament to the strength of our brands and the entrepreneurs who bring them to life every day,” said Scott Zide, CEO of Empower Brands. “Each of these brands is meeting important customer needs in growing markets while providing franchise owners with the systems, support and resources they need to build successful businesses. We are proud to see Superior Fence & Rail, Koala Insulation, Bumble Roofing and Conserva Irrigation recognized for their growth and momentum.”
Superior Fence & Rail led the group with a top ranking and 167% three-year revenue growth, earning a place on the list for the fourth consecutive year. Since beginning to franchise in 2017, the brand has expanded its presence across North America and established itself as a leading provider of residential, commercial and industrial fencing.
That growth reflects broader demand for essential property services, a trend also represented by Koala Insulation, which ranked top in the ranking. The brand provides insulation and energy efficiency services that help homeowners improve comfort and manage energy costs, with its franchise network continuing to expand alongside demand for home performance solutions.
Bumble Roofing ranked No. 3,667, adding another growing home service category to the group. The brand provides residential and commercial roofing services through a franchise model built around operational systems, training and support for owners serving their local markets.
Rounding out the group, Conserva Irrigation ranked No. 3,911. The brand specializes in water-efficient irrigation services for residential and commercial customers, addressing the growing need for more efficient outdoor water use while expanding its network of franchise locations.
The four recognitions come as Empower Brands continues to grow its portfolio across industries tied to essential property services. By bringing together established brands with franchise systems designed to support local business ownership, the company provides entrepreneurs with opportunities to build businesses in markets with recurring customer needs.
