Top Home Service Franchises You Should Invest In

Home Service franchise opportunities provide customer conveniences that not only help manage the upkeep of someone’s house but also life’s many tasks. From lawn care franchises that maintain beautiful, green grass to dry cleaning business opportunities that provide 24/7 drop off, these franchises all perform a unique and valuable service that saves time and money for busy homeowners.

Most homes, regardless of age or size, will require some type of regular maintenance on, in, or around the house. Most of these tasks are either too time consuming for the average homeowner or require a certain skill set.

For these reasons, Home Services companies can be very solid franchise opportunities. And, if the work is done well, it is a market where satisfied customers typically lead to repeat business.

There are a variety of franchise options in the Home Services category that can encompass virtually anything that needs to be done around the house from cleaning, lawn care, painting, and plumbing to pest control, pet grooming and much more.

Franchise Gator recently released its annual Top 100 list for 2018, ranking the top expanding franchise systems considered to be solid investments. Hundreds of Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDD’s) were reviewed in the making of the list, focusing on unit growth, financial health, and franchisee satisfaction, among other aspects.

Here are the top five Home Service franchise opportunities from the Top 100.
