5 Reasons Why Now Is the Time To Invest in Handyman Pro

The home improvement industry is evolving rapidly, and Handyman Pro is keeping pace. The home-repair and remodeling franchise offers entrepreneurs an accessible and supportive pathway into the $500 billion industry, and after a year that has forced people to stay at home — and notice all the flaws and imperfections of their houses — , there’s never been a better time to get into the home-improvement game.

Founded in 2018, Handyman Pro is the newest addition to multi-brand franchisor Premium Service Brands’s roster of leading home service franchises.

“Handyman Pro is an easy choice for anyone looking to get into the home services industry,” said Justin Rowling, a Handyman Pro franchisee in Central Virginia. “The business model gives you the resources to do anything. Painting projects, power washing, kitchen remodels, deck building or even putting together furniture and replacing light bulbs — there is no project too big or small."

Besides belonging to a rock-solid family of franchises that span the entire home improvement industry, there are a number of other factors that make Handyman Pro the ideal investment for service-oriented entrepreneurs in 2021. Here’s a look at five reasons why now is the time to invest in Handyman Pro.

For millions of families across the U.S., the pandemic meant a shift to remote work for adults and virtual learning for children. This led to a renewed focus both on large scale home improvement projects and those pesky to-do lists around the house.

According to a recent Nerdwallet survey, three in five homeowners, or 61%, have taken on home improvement projects since March 1, 2020. On average, these homeowners spent $6,438 on those jobs.

The home improvement industry was already growing at an intense six percent annually even before the pandemic, and Handyman Pro franchisees can tackle a wide range of jobs in that category. The brand’s services include carpentry, electrical, gutters, siding, windows, doors, masonry, plumbing, landscaping, construction cleanup, furniture assembly and much more, making it an ideal franchise that casts a wide net in a fast-growing sector.

Handyman Pro franchisees don’t need to rent and insure an office or commercial space, which automatically saves them thousands compared to other business models. The simple business model allows Handyman Pro franchisees to work from home, on the road or wherever they need to. They provide in-person and virtual estimates directly in clients’ homes making their businesses adaptable to meet their clients’ needs.

One of the most appealing reasons many look to owning their own business is taking control of their career and schedule. It’s no different for those that invest with the Handyman Pro opportunity. Along with having no fixed office space, as a business owner with Handyman Pro, you’re able to run your business from anywhere and create your own work environment and schedule. The brand’s simple, effective business model provides franchisees more flexibility and a better quality of life than its competitors.

Every PSB brand comes with a built-in suite of robust franchisee support services. Franchisees with Handyman Pro can expect support on marketing and technology as well as training on software that automates routing and scheduling. Franchisees are assigned business coaches who hold regular calls with owners. These calls can cover a variety of topics from goal setting, to P&L reviews, and hiring and recruiting or bookkeeping. And, as an added bonus to streamline the administrative side,PSB’s full-service contact center takes and schedules leads and estimates.

Handyman Pro was designed from the ground up to complement PSB’s other brands. Not only can Handyman Pro work with other PSB owners in their territories to run territory-wide referral programs , but PSB has designed the “Own the Home” program to incentivize them to grow vertically by becoming multi-brand owners within the company. Once a Handyman Pro franchisee scales their business and gets a solid customer base, it can quickly introduce other PSB brands in their territory to market to those same clients.

“Premium Service Brands has done the legwork to offer the franchise opportunity for 2021,” Iric Wexler, PSB’s chief development officer said. “When an entrepreneur invests in Handyman Pro, we invest in them with training and support. Then, when they have established their brand in the market, we make it easy to quickly build their portfolio and become a major player in the home improvement industry.”

The initial investment to open a Handyman Pro ranges from $99,125 to $139,500, including $60,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or affiliate. The brand is actively seeking franchise owners in suburban markets nationwide, including Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Phoenix, San Antonio, Boston, Raleigh and more.
