Preservan Looks To Add 20 New Units in Houston, Texas

Preservan, the emerging wood repair and restoration franchise, is eyeing Houston, Texas, for franchise growth. With a capacity for 20 new units in the market, the franchise is working to gradually expand in the market, starting with six new units in the next year. 

Because Preservan focuses on restoration and repair rather than total replacement, it’s a great fit for communities with rich historical areas and a strong interest in maintaining the structures that are already standing. There are four Certified Local Governments (municipalities that have been certified and demonstrate a commitment to local preservation) in Houston, and the market is home to 27 total Historic Preservation Districts.

“There is a need for Preservan’s low-waste, sustainable repair and restoration services nationwide; we don’t only work on structures that are officially recognized as historically significant,” said Ty McBride, founder and CEO. “However, in markets like Houston that have such rich histories and have already demonstrated a commitment to preservation, franchisees have a reliable existing customer base at the time of launch.”

Areas like Houston Heights, Woodland Heights and Audubon Place are home to 60,000 houses built before 1939, and the larger Houston metropolitan area has over 2 million housing units, 1.5 million of which were built before the year 2000.

All wooden structures are bound to face wood rot and decay over time, but Houston’s climate and incredible microorganism biodiversity make the issue even more prevalent. The American Wood Protection Association places Houston in a level five deterioration zone, the highest ranking that reflects “severe decay hazard,” further proving why a service like Preservan’s is so necessary in the market.

As Preservan works to establish its presence in the market, it has several Houston-based discovery days planned for this summer. By visiting Houston, the team will be able to learn even more about the market, share about the franchise opportunity and meet with interested entrepreneurs.

“Our franchise owners don’t necessarily need to have construction or contracting experience, but they need to have a steward mindset,” said McBride. “They need to be deeply concerned with taking care of their home, family and community. With this mindset, owners can very easily align with our mission and vision. We are confident that there are individuals in the Houston market who share our values, and we look forward to identifying and partnering with them to make the Houston community even better with our revolutionary model.”
