Whether you're a tradesperson seeking a better path or someone with a passion for restoring old homes, this program provides the tools and strategies to launch and grow a profitable restoration company, just like McBride did.<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFMxBkH3MHs"><div class="iframely-embed"><div class="iframely-responsive"><iframe src="//cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?app=1&amp;api_key=fd3b6b3731f34f55ba1fe3&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DKFMxBkH3MHs" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></div></figure><h3>A Business Built on Restoration, Not Replacement</h3>Preservan operates with a clear mission: to restore instead of replace. The brand focuses heavily on windows, doors and architectural wood features, which many contractors avoid due to their complexity and regulation-heavy requirements. By mastering the use of epoxy resin technology and preservation techniques, Preservan has carved out a niche in a market with high demand and little competition.The UpFlip course unpacks this exact model. McBride walks users through how he turned a $300 epoxy kit into a business that now spans more than a dozen locations. His journey began in 2014 when a city inspector informed him he couldn’t replace a rotted window in a historic home; it had to be restored instead. That challenge became an opportunity and, eventually, a franchise.<h3>Inside the R.E.S.T.O.R.E. Blueprint</h3>The course delivers a structured, step-by-step system for launching a historic home restoration business. Across 57 lessons and nearly six hours of video content, students learn:<ul><li>The $300 Startup Strategy:&nbsp;How to launch with minimal capital and the right tools.</li><li>The Rotten Wood Goldmine:&nbsp;Why historic homes are often neglected — and how that creates opportunity.</li><li>The “R.E.S.T.O.R.E.” System:&nbsp;A seven-step blueprint for building a sustainable and scalable restoration business.</li><li>Targeted Local Marketing: How to dominate your neighborhood with just $50/day in Facebook ads and direct mail.</li><li>Navigating Preservation Codes:&nbsp;Practical guidance on passing inspections and earning trust from local historic boards.</li><li>From Garage to Franchise: How to systematize operations and scale to multiple markets using real-world processes.</li></ul>Students also gain access to downloadable resources and a private community of fellow entrepreneurs building alongside them.<h3>A Franchise Opportunity With Purpose</h3>Preservan’s inclusion in UpFlip Academy brings well-deserved attention to a business model that merges sustainability, craftsmanship and community impact. As a franchise, Preservan offers local owners the opportunity to serve their communities while preserving architectural heritage.With historic homes present in virtually every city across the United States, the demand for skilled preservation services continues to grow. Preservan fills that gap with a franchise system that emphasizes quality, repeatable systems and hyper-local community service. Its success proves that modern business models can thrive in traditional craftsmanship fields, especially when backed by the right tools and training.To learn more about franchising with Preservan, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/preservan">https://1851franchise.com/preservan</a>.&nbsp;
