Baby boomers market for your handyman franchise

Baby boomers who drove the growth of the home improvement market, and the success of many handyman franchises, in their earlier years, as they looked to enhance their properties and give themselves a better lifestyle, are again a leading force to be reckoned with in their retirement years. 10,000 a day are turning 65 over the next 18 years and many of them are preparing to modify their homes to enable them to "age in place" more comfortably.

Majority of Baby boomers want to "age in place"

At a recent remodeling futures conference the Joint Center of Harvard University released a study that showed the strength of the growing market for home modifications for the aging homeowners market.
