Why 1-Tom-Plumber?
At 1-Tom-Plumber, we didn't build a brand for plumbers, we built a brand for customers. That's why we're proudly pink. Research and industry experience have shown that approximately 86% of residential and commercial plumbing service calls are initiated by women. Instead of creating a brand that appealed to contractors, we created one that resonates with the people making the buying decisions. The result is a memorable, trusted, and instantly recognizable brand that stands out in a crowded marketplace.
Our franchise model combines that powerful consumer brand with a proven operating system designed for long-term success. Franchisees receive comprehensive training, dedicated business coaching, in-house digital marketing, advanced technology, national account opportunities, and 24/7 operational support. Whether you're entering the plumbing industry for the first time or expanding an existing home and commercial service business, you'll have the tools, systems, and support to scale with confidence.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal 1-Tom-Plumber franchise owner is a motivated leader with a strong business mindset and a passion for delivering exceptional customer service. While experience in plumbing or the trades can be beneficial, it is not required. We provide the training, systems, and ongoing support needed to build and grow a successful business.
Successful franchisees typically possess:
Strong leadership and team-building skills.
A commitment to following proven systems and processes.
Sales, management, or business ownership experience (preferred but not required).
A customer-first mentality and dedication to serving their community.
The drive to grow a scalable, long-term business.
Our opportunity is an excellent fit for entrepreneurs, executives seeking a career change, multi-unit business owners, veterans, restoration contractors, HVAC and other home service professionals looking to expand, and investors who want to build a business with an experienced operating partner. If you're coachable, growth-oriented, and ready to execute a proven model, 1-Tom-Plumber provides the platform, resources, and support to help you succeed.
