Honest Abe Roofing has been installing, repairing and maintaining residential roofs across the country since 2005. Officials with the Indiana-based franchise take pride in it being a recession-proof business that’s part of the essential home-improvement sector. Honest Abe Roofing services represent a need – not a want – safeguarding the business model from economic decline. And annual sales averaging $2.8 million per location provide the proof.

“There are over 3,500 different franchise brands that you can choose from,” according to a company blog. “Knowing the different strengths and weaknesses of the industry in which the franchise you’re investigating operates is critical to the decision-making process. The key question to ask yourself is, ‘Is the product or service of the franchise I’m investigating a NEED?’ If the answer is yes, you may be on to something.”

Operating 365 days a year and offering competitive prices for necessary home-improvements, Honest Abe Roofing thrived throughout the global pandemic and has seen an uptick in business even during these recessionary times.

“It may not be the sexiest of all industries or even the most exciting, but home improvement is a vital industry,” company officials said in the blog. “None of us are really going to need the boutique fitness franchises or the ultra-niche food franchise. But on the flip side, when was the last time you needed HVAC work? Or your car repaired? When was the last time you needed a roof or a window? These are the businesses that are going to come out victorious at the end of this recession.”
