Market Competition and Expansion:

This business operates in a niche home-service market with limited direct competition. Demand is steady and growing, as awareness of dryer vent safety and energy efficiency continues to increase. Customers value reliable service and recurring maintenance, which provides a strong base of repeat business.

The franchise brand is recognized nationally and is positioned as a premium service provider. This reputation helps the business stand out against local independent contractors who often lack the same systems, training, and customer trust.

Expansion opportunities are significant. A new owner could add additional technicians to increase service capacity, invest in online marketing to reach more homeowners, and target multi-unit housing or commercial contracts within the protected territory. With a large and exclusive metro-area market, the business has room to scale sales and profits well beyond current levels.

Reason for Selling:

Retirement and relocation, pursuing other business interests. Kindly ask the seller for more information.
