## Story

Scheduled to open in March 2026, the new locations will serve homeowners in Little Elm-Frisco, Tomball-Cypress, and Brecksville with comprehensive roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and exterior restoration services. With nearly 60% of U.S. homeowners experiencing storm or weather-related exterior damage each year, these new locations provide a timely, trusted solution for protecting homes.

The new franchise owners include:

- Jennifer and Jorge Hidalgo – Little Elm-Frisco, Texas Little Elm, TX 75068

- Omar Ramirez and Luis Gonzales – Tomball-Cypress, Texas Tomball, TX 77377

- Erin Maxin and Issac Mastel – Brecksville, Ohio Brecksville, OH 44141

“These new franchisees represent the type of leaders we seek. Individuals invested in their communities, committed to quality, and dedicated to guiding homeowners with integrity,” said Shane Lynch, President of Storm Guard. “We’re proud to provide them with the tools, systems, and brand support to build meaningful, long-term businesses in their markets.”

The expansion comes after Storm Guard’s 2025 rebrand as a unified full-exterior services provider. By consolidating its expertise under a single national brand, Storm Guard enables homeowners to rely on one trusted partner for all their exterior home needs.

“As we grow, we’re focused on thoughtful, sustainable expansion,” said Derrick Hemmelgarn, Director of Marketing. “With a strengthened leadership team and enhanced franchise support systems, we’re ensuring every new owner has the operational, marketing, and technology tools needed to thrive.”
