HomeFront Brands (HFB) has added AdvantaClean to its residential and commercial services franchise platform, bringing its portfolio to six brands. The deal, announced in a recent press release, is HFB’s first acquisition of 2026. Since Jeff Dudan founded HFB in 2022, the company has grown to more than 700 territories across North America through acquisitions, operational support and capital-efficient growth.

AdvantaClean, an established brand specializing in water damage mitigation, mold remediation, air duct cleaning and related services, has a unique connection to Dudan — he originally founded the company more than 25 years ago before it was acquired by Home Franchise Concepts in 2019. 

"My professional career has come full circle as a business I spent my life building for 25 years is now part of our family of brands once again," Dudan said in the release. "Our mission at HomeFront Brands has been to deliver enterprise-level solutions to local business owners, with our C.A.R.E.S. values as guiding principles. Bringing AdvantaClean back into our ecosystem is both deeply personal and strategically powerful, as we continue expanding HFB into the premier franchise platform in home and commercial services."

The acquisition aligns with HFB’s broader strategy of building a diversified, category-leading platform through both organic growth and mergers and acquisitions. With existing brands including Temporary Wall SystemsRoof ScientistThe DesigneryTop Rail Fence and Window Hero, HFB continues to position itself as a major player in the property services franchise space. Leadership from both companies emphasized that the partnership will enhance support for franchise owners and drive continued growth by leveraging HFB’s infrastructure and industry expertise.
