Overview
Wondering if you have what it takes? That’s a very natural and often misunderstood concern. First, to operate a successful HomeFIXology handyman business, there is no need to be a highly skilled and experienced building and construction technician. If fact, what you really need are great management skills, an ability to effectively and professionally communicate with people, and a true passion for your business development, your service techs, and especially for your customers.
Our proprietary franchise model is aimed directly at those areas that are important to assisting you every day with growing your business. Outstanding training, forward thinking technology in software, communications, and website design, an incredibly successful marketing approach that brings customers to you, and an unmatched on-going and diligent operational support program that brings franchisor and franchisee together as a team to work on daily challenges and opportunities are the backbone of our business approach.Products & Services
