Since 1998, Ace Handyman Services has been transforming the home improvement industry by providing professional, reliable services to its customers and creating unique opportunities for skilled craftsmen. Backed by the nationally recognized Ace Hardware brand, Ace Handyman Services has 387 territories across 47 states and is eager to continue its upward growth trajectory by adding gritty and passionate franchisees to its success network.
During the 2020 pandemic when people were forced to stay home, many homeowners invested in their homes to make them more comfortable and adjust to new trends, such as remote work. More recently, as interest rates continue to increase, homeowners are again choosing to upgrade their homes. With the continued focus on enhancements, the home improvement industry is expected to reach $621 billion by 2025 according to Statista. That makes now a great time to break into the market as a franchisee for Ace Handyman Services.
After being showcased in the Franchise Times Fast and Serious list for the second year in a row, it’s easy to see how Ace Handyman Services sets its franchise owners and employees up for success from day one. When someone invests in an Ace Handyman Services franchise, they get everything they need to thrive in the fast-growing home improvement industry. The company offers extensive employment benefits, including affordable health insurance and 401(k) retirement programs. Additionally, all craftsmen are hired as W-2 employees.
“We look for franchise owners who will put their employees first and create a great place to work, because we know that culture will lead to excellent customer service in the home,” said Colette Bell, vice president of franchise development. “Passion is important not so much for the home improvement industry but passion to help people, do good in the world and leave the world a better place than we found it.”
To ensure franchise owners can reach their maximum potential, Ace Handyman Services offers comprehensive training and support. First, franchisees complete a virtual 16-week onboarding with an onboarding specialist. Next, along with their office manager and any additional employees, they head to the company’s Denver headquarters for in-person training. Finally, the corporate team visits the new location during its first week of business to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Additionally, all franchisees are connected with a dedicated franchise consultant they get to speak with monthly. The consultant provides support and guidance to help with planning and troubleshooting for as long as the franchisee is with the company.
Ace Handyman Services is more than just a business. As a top employer in the market, it’s a catalyst for community engagement, with franchise owners being encouraged to volunteer and help their neighbors address home improvement needs.
“Our goal is to continue to grow our franchise with the right franchise owners across the U.S., so that we can help neighbors out in every community we can,” said Bell. “If you have grit, passion and a desire to own a business that makes your community better, come join us at Ace Handyman Services.”
