Reshaping an Entire Industry: HomeSmiles Does Just That With One Simple Idea
Convenience has become the currency of modern homeownership. For busy families and property owners, juggling multiple vendors for routine maintenance is not just frustrating. It’s inefficient. HomeSmiles built a franchise around solving that exact problem, and in just a few short years, the brand has expanded into more than 25 states and sold over 150 territories, positioning itself as one of the fastest growing concepts in the home services franchise space.
Founded in California in 2020 by real estate attorney and investor Jesshill Love, HomeSmiles was born from a common headache: coordinating separate companies for gutter cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, pressure washing and other routine tasks. Love believed there had to be a simpler way. Instead of multiple appointments and invoices, why not one provider, one visit and one predictable price?
That thinking became the foundation of the brand.
HomeSmiles consolidates essential property maintenance into bundled service packages, including gutter cleaning, window washing, dryer vent cleaning, pressure washing, solar panel cleaning and light handyman work. While each service can stand alone, the company’s packaged approach sets it apart. Customers choose from tiered options, culminating in HomeSmiles 365, a subscription model delivering four seasonal visits per year. The result is convenience for homeowners and consistent, recurring revenue for franchisees.
“When I founded HomeSmiles, the mission was clear: eliminate the headache of property maintenance,” said Love. “I was tired of calling five different vendors for simple jobs. I wanted one trusted solution. That convenience is what customers really want.”
The franchise community quickly noticed. Because the concept aggregates multiple high demand services into one brand, brokers often refer to HomeSmiles as “five franchises in one.” The model provides year-round work across seasons, helping owners avoid the slow periods common in single service businesses. In 2021, the company earned Emerging Brand of the Year honors from the Franchise Broker Association and has continued to gain recognition as a rising force in the sector.
HomeSmiles’ growth is driven by a disciplined operating model led by Chief Operating Officer AJ Dumler. She has built the systems, training and performance standards that support franchisees from day one through long term scale. Owners receive centralized marketing support, national SEO strategy, a dedicated sales center and integrated technology designed to generate demand and simplify operations. This allows them to stay focused on delivering service and building profitability.
Franchisees also receive direct, performance-centered business coaching. The focus is not on adding more locations simply to expand. It is on ensuring each franchise owner operates a profitable, well-managed business built on accountability and strong operational execution.
Though the company launched in Silicon Valley, its mindset is national. HomeSmiles’ goal is clear: to become the go-to name in property maintenance across America.
For entrepreneurs and franchise candidates seeking a home services business with built-in demand, diversified revenue streams and a simple value proposition, HomeSmiles offers something rare: one brand, one call and a smarter way to care for a home. Sometimes the most powerful ideas are the simplest ones, especially when their time has come.
