4 Reasons Why Now Is the Time To Invest in a Sir Grout Hard Surface Restoration and Maintenance Franchise

4 Reasons Why Now Is the Time To Invest in a Sir Grout Hard Surface Restoration and Maintenance Franchise

As the home services market soars, Sir Grout offers franchisees diverse revenue streams, exceptional support and the opportunity for a notable return on investment.

Sir Grout, the hard surface restoration and maintenance franchise under the Threshold Brands umbrella, offers a myriad of services to both consumer and commercial markets. As more people work to purchase homes and improve the look and feel of their houses, Sir Grout has established itself within a lucrative segment of the home services market and is expected to see significant franchise growth in coming years.

Valued at $506 billion, the home services industry is expected to see 53% growth by 2024. “As a proven pandemic-proof industry, there are few more reliable franchise opportunities than those in the home service category,” said Scott Sutton, chief growth officer at Threshold Brands.

Sir Grout’s Five-in-One Business Model Provides Multiple Revenue Streams

Sir Grout franchisees have access to multiple revenue streams through:

  1. Grout and tile restoration, including caulking and grout cleaning, recoloring and sealing;
  2. Stone restoration, including marble, granite, travertine and slate cleaning, honing, polishing, color enhancement and sealing;
  3. No sanding wood floor restoration, an application designed to deep clean, restore and protect visibly worn hardwood floors;
  4. Slip resistant applications, such as Slip Armor, are meant to help reduce the risk of slips and falls on wet floors or on other slippery surfaces such as tubs, showers and pool areas;
  5. High durability coatings, including the application of MicroGuard, an all-in-one hard surface finish that protects tile, stainless steel, concrete, epoxy painted floors, stone, slate and more.

Rather than investing in five separate franchises, Sir Grout provides owners with the potential to provide all five of these restoration and maintenance services under one business umbrella and ability to market different services to a common customer base.

As the Home Services Market Continues to Grow, the Demand for Restoration Services Climbs

Due in large part to older generations’ desire to age in place and millennials’ desire to purchase and work on ‘fixer-uppers’ independently or as their family grows, the home services market continues to boom.

As homeowners take on renovation projects, they lack proper equipment and expertise to execute things such as tile, stone and wood surface restorations. Doing the work alone can be inconvenient, time consuming and potentially damaging to a home; Sir Grout’s methods are particularly appealing to customers as they are quick, clean and add more value to the home.

In a survey conducted on Americans’ do-it-yourself home improvement habits, 57% of people described their homes as “a work in progress,” and only 10% of homeowners reported being completely satisfied with home projects; further, less than one third of people finished their projects without major complications. As people continue to invest in new homes or the improvement of their current homes, the demand for Sir Grout to fill the gap between conceptualization and execution will only grow.

Threshold Brands, the multi-brand franchisor backing Sir Grout, provides franchisees support in site selection, training and marketing, maintaining a connection with franchisees well after launch. Involvement by brand leadership provides additional support, ensuring franchisees are successful and that the brand remains intact.

Extensive Training and Marketing Support Allows Franchisees to Focus on Their Business

Sir Grout is with franchisees every step of the way. A thorough training program, online learning and support and in-house business center ensure franchisees have access to any support they may need while running their businesses.

Franchisees receive initial training in three phases. Phase one is done online and revolves around the skills and systems needed to run a Sir Grout business, i.e. operations, products, processes and recruitment. Phase two is done on-site and allows franchisees to learn about sales and operations as well as specific products and services such as grout, tile, wood, high durability coatings and slip resistant treatments. Phase three is also done on-site and focuses on stone restoration training.

The Sir Grout Business Center team answers phone calls, sets appointments and follows up on web leads, allowing franchise owners to be fully involved in their daily operations and sales development.

A Scalable Business Model in a Booming Industry Gives Franchisees Great Growth Potential

Because an investment in Sir Grout delivers five businesses for the price of one, and Sir Grout units do not require brick and mortar retail space, a relatively low initial investment provides franchise owners the opportunity to tap into an exceptionally fruitful franchise model.

“Sir Grout is unlike other brands in the home restoration franchise space,” said Tanisha Chea, President of Sir Grout. “Our leadership, training programs, franchisee support, and five-in-one business model come together to foster the growth of franchisees in a way that allows them to take full control of their financial lives and entrepreneurial dreams.”

The estimated initial investment required for a Sir Grout business ranges between $121,830 and $146,710. For more information, visit: https://franchise.sirgrout.com/ .
