How Preservan Franchisees Thrive With Purpose and Flexibility

Preservan, the emerging wood rot repair franchise, has built a unique value proposition for franchisees looking to join the system. In addition to the in-demand, eco- and wallet-friendly solutions it prepares owners to provide, Preservan also boasts an inclusive, supportive and transparent culture and leverages a more flexible business model that allows franchisees the opportunity for better work-life balance and other lifestyle benefits.

“Our company culture is centered around connection and support,” said CEO Ty McBride. “This ensures that all of our franchisees feel they have the information and tools they need to succeed, but it also serves to attract a certain kind of business owner from the very beginning. Preservan franchisees are generally people who truly find fulfillment in helping others, whether that’s through mentorship or a much-needed service, and the opportunity to grow a business that fits perfectly in that niche can be incredibly rewarding.”

With an epoxy-based system that allows owners to repair rather than replace, Preservan is consistently offering quick, convenient services that allow homeowners to affordably repair window sills, door frames, columns and more on their homes, saving time and money and reducing environmental impact. 

For McBride, this is a key source of fulfillment. “Preservan saved American homeowners about $6 million in home renovation and repair costs in the first half of this year,” he said. “That’s crazy exciting. When I think about the territories we’ve sold or team members our owners are welcoming, I’m thinking about how much we’re growing our impact and increasing that number of dollars saved. Knowing that we’re doing good for our neighbors, cities and planet is a special type of excitement, and it’s one of the less obvious benefits of owning a Preservan franchise.”

“The idea that Preservan offers this service that really benefits the local homeowners and neighbors in the communities you operate in — that’s easy to get on board with,” said Stephen Eppling, owner of Preservan Athens.

The Preservan team has worked diligently to develop a training and support model that ensures new owners are set up for success. Even if they do not have previous experience in epoxy repair, or even construction or contracting, the franchisor provides in-depth education that gives owners tools to provide such services and find fulfillment in their work.

Eppling, who worked in marketing before joining the Preservan system, noted some anticipation about this aspect of the process. “My first technician and I went to a week-long training. After probably two days, we felt confident in our ability not just to sell the service but to actually perform it,” he said. “Then, by the end of the week, we were working on a real home of a neighbor in the Oklahoma City area. This home in particular was valued north of $2 million, so that was reassuring to see — they obviously trusted us!”

When the Preservan training aligns with franchisees’ values and needs, and owners have the ongoing support necessary to sustain a successful business, the opportunity lends itself to favorable lifestyle benefits over time.

In addition to the personal fulfillment owners can find by supporting their neighbors and planet, there are other day-to-day benefits many franchisees enjoy as they make the transition to ownership.

Because Preservan is a flexible, mobile business, franchise owners have more freedom to manage their schedules and establish a working cadence that encourages work-life balance. For new owners transitioning out of the corporate world or those seeking more time and financial control, this is a major benefit.

Another significant benefit is the financial potential of the model. While the initial investment is manageable, the franchise system offers the opportunity for scalable growth. Franchisees can expand their territory reach, hire teams and build a sustainable income stream that will equip them to build the lives — and lifestyles — they’ve dreamed of, all while being their own boss.
