Category Hub 23 Published Brands As of November 2026
Home Services Franchise Costs
Of the 23 published home services brands here, 12 have an Item 7 investment range without a source-review hold. Their median low-end investment is $147,703 and median high-end estimate is $283,275. The Junkluggers has the lowest recorded minimum in that group at $96,010; ProSource Wholesale has the highest recorded upper estimate at $978,799. These are the selected formats in each record, not quotes for a particular site.
Leaving out the 11 records on source-review hold, 12 remain to compare. The Brothers that just do Gutters reports a profit-type figure in Item 19. ProSource Wholesale reports a margin percentage but no dollar profit. 9 of the 12 report sales without a profit figure. Roto-Rooter makes no Item 19 representation. Where Item 6 states one flat royalty rate, it runs from 6% (Sir Grout, The Brothers that just do Gutters and Zoom Drain) to 7% (All Dry, Mr. Handyman and The Junkluggers), each on the brand's own definition of sales; 6 records state a range, a fixed amount or several rates instead. A printed investment range does not clear a source-review hold concerning another FDD section; the linked brand record identifies the unresolved issue. 10 records are provisional, and 12 have a source-check date without a later hold. The latest source or record date in the collection is November 2026.
What the home-service sales samples cover
Roto-Rooter makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Mosquito Joe divides its reporting businesses by years in operation, so its older-business average does not describe a newly opened business.
Budget Blinds reports franchisee sales separately by number of territories. College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving separates junk-only, moving-only and combined locations; those groups also operate different average numbers of territories. ProSource Wholesale reports comparable showroom sales and gross margin, rather than net owner income. These are different reporting units and cannot be combined into a single category earnings figure. How Item 19 works.

Our calculated average annual franchised exit rate runs from 0.7% (ProSource Wholesale) to 10.4% (The Junkluggers) among the 9 records whose Item 20 tables reconcile. Exits include terminations, non-renewals, franchisor buybacks and other cessations, so they are not all business failures. Exit rates for every published brand · How the rate is calculated.
