Baby boomers driving growth for handyman franchises

As baby boomers age they are growing the market for handyman franchisees. They start to think about modifying their homes for health, comfort and safety reasons. If people can do something to make things easier or safer in their homes as they age it just makes good sense to do it. Today's boomers definitely think more about their health and comfortable living as they near and enter retirement simply because many have already seen older relatives and friends age. This is providing great opportunities for handyman franchises.

Poll confirms health more important than finance for younger boomers

The Fourth Annual RBC Retirement Myths & Realities Poll shows maintaining health is more important than finances to Canada's younger boomers (aged 50-59) and maintaining that good health by improving safety and comfort in their homes is important to them. .
A handyman franchise and home improvement franchise can offer seniors and boomers services that can help them modify their homes in efforts to maintain health and lifestyle as they age. This aging in place market is one of the niches driving growth of House Doctors. The RBC poll shows what is important to boomers as they age and explains why the aging in place market where homeowners modify their homes to help them continue to live safely and comfortably in them as they grow older, is now rated by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) as the fastest growing segment of the residential remodeling industry. Seniors and aging boomers nearing retirement who are modifying their homes are having a major impact on handyman franchises and home improvement franchises. As the population ages the 'aging in place' market will continue to grow and play a major part in your franchise.

3 new handyman framchisees join House Doctors

We have just completed training for 3 new franchisees. They will launch their business in August. We have another 7 prospective franchisees moving through our discovery process. Our August new franchise training class will see at least another 3 franchisees join us then. This short post will give you some background information on our newest franchisees and why they decided to buy the House Doctors handyman franchise.

You undersell yourselves.....

"You undersell yourselves." That was a comment one of our newest franchisees made after spending a week with us on his initial training. Sean is a former manager with Lowes and as such had been through numerous training programs in the past so he had a good idea what to expect. But we are a company that is constantly working hard to continually improve our model and the training associated with it. We coach our franchisees on how to astound the customer so we're very happy when a new franchisee notices the standards that we are already achieving at corporate.

Our newest training class of franchisees came from Connecticut, Michigan and Ohio. So if you live in these States keep a look out for a House Doctors franchise opening there soon. All franchisees in the July training class came from different backgrounds, each one had a very different career path to get here but all three did have some things in common.

A former Marine with Project Management experience, a former Lowes Manager, a former House Builder. Varied backgrounds but all three had a goal of building a business that would become an asset for themselves. They all wanted to control their own destiny and have financial freedom through building something they could be proud of, the best business of its kind in their local community.

In our model our franchisees manage the business and do not swing the hammer. That was important to all three. They all saw the need of bringing professionalism to the handyman and home improvement industry. They all saw the increased opportunities being created through aging in place and energy efficiency. All three saw great opportunity to build their vision through the House Doctors whole house  model.
