Unique opportunity to acquire a founding franchise territory in a residential construction management platform serving approximately 500,000 homes in Western New York.

US Home Improvement Counsel represents homeowners during renovation and home improvement projects by managing contractor bidding, preparing construction contracts, overseeing project compliance, and administering contractor payments through escrow.

Homeowners fund the project while the system manages the construction process from contractor selection through completion.

This model addresses a common problem in the home improvement industry: homeowners typically hire contractors directly with little oversight, which can lead to cost overruns, poor workmanship, or unfinished projects. US Home Improvement Counsel provides professional project management and payment control designed to protect homeowners and ensure projects are completed according to contract terms.

Large Market Opportunity

Each franchise territory includes approximately 500,000 homes.

Industry data suggests that 3–5% of homeowners complete renovation projects each year, creating an estimated 15,000–25,000 potential projects annually within the territory.

Average renovation project values are commonly around $30,000, creating an estimated $450 million to $750 million annual home improvement market within the territory.

The franchise operator only needs to capture a small portion of this market to build a highly profitable business.

Revenue Model

The business earns a 10% project management fee on renovation projects.

Example:

$30,000 project
10% management fee = $3,000

Revenue distribution:

Franchise Operator: 60% ($1,800)
Home Office: 40% ($1,200)

Operators generate revenue by managing homeowner projects and coordinating contractors through the platform.

Example Income Scenarios

Managing 250 projects annually:

Total project value managed:
$7,500,000

Total management fees:
$750,000

Operator revenue:
$450,000

As the business grows and captures a larger share of the renovation market, the opportunity can scale significantly.

Business Model

The franchise operator acts as the homeowner’s project manager by:

• meeting with homeowners to discuss renovation needs
• collecting bids from contractors
• negotiating project pricing
• coordinating contract execution
• scheduling inspections to verify work completion
• approving contractor payments through escrow

The home office provides standardized contracts, documentation systems, and operational support to maintain consistent procedures.

Low Overhead Structure

This business operates as a professional services platform and does not require inventory, construction equipment, or a large facility.

The business can initially be operated from a home office or small administrative office, with staff added as project volume increases.

Ideal Franchise Operator

This opportunity is well suited for an entrepreneur with strong marketing, leadership, and people-management skills.

Construction experience can be helpful but is not required, as the operator’s role is to manage projects and coordinate professionals rather than perform construction work personally.

Franchise Investment

Total franchise price: $250,000

Structure:

$125,000 down payment
$125,000 seller financing available

Each franchise includes exclusive operating rights to a territory covering approximately 500,000 homes.
