TL;DR
Surv Franchisor LLC is expanding its franchise network with a new launch in McKinney and Frisco, TX, driven by the leadership of President David Dunsmuir. The company, founded in 2010 in Newport, Rhode Island, provides home assistance services to thousands of homeowners each year.
“Becoming a Surv franchisee allows us to run a business that makes a tangible impact” said Ian Stewart, the owner of the McKinney & Frisco, TX franchise. “That’s what drew us to the brand.”
New Leadership Drives Growth
Surv’s growth is driven by the leadership of newly appointed President David Dunsmuir, an industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience at national brands including The Home Depot, Cabinets To Go, Re-Bath, and Lumber Liquidators. Under his guidance, Surv is scaling its franchise network and supporting business-savvy professionals to bring reliable home assistance to their local markets.
“This is an exciting time for Surv,” said David Dunsmuir, President of Surv Franchisor LLC. “Our brand’s foundation is built on trust, service, and solving real-life homeowner challenges.

Company Background and Market Expansion
Founded in 2010 in Newport, Rhode Island, Surv began as a way to connect neighbors who needed help with home tasks—anything from moving furniture and installing curtains to yard cleanup and junk removal. The company has since evolved into a franchise system backed by Cornerstone Franchise Brands, now helping thousands of homeowners each year through trusted, professional services delivered by trained local teams.
