According to the 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), Screenmobile’s 130 reporting territories generated average annual gross revenue of $483,885 in fiscal year 2025, while the top 25% (33 units) averaged $1,156,355.
For entrepreneurs evaluating a Screenmobile franchise, that performance illustrates how the business can grow from a relatively lean owner-operated model into a multi-crew home services operation.
"A key advantage of the model is the ability to grow operations over time by expanding service capacity, staffing, and territory coverage as the business develops,” said Josh Minturn, vice president of development for Authority Brands. “That is how owners can begin building a true business asset.”
According to Item 19 of the 2026 FDD, the 130 Screenmobile territories that operated for the entirety of fiscal year 2025 reported the following gross revenue:
| Quartile | Average | Median | High | Low |
| Top 25% (33) | $1,156,355 | $835,951 | $5,722,613 | $547,408 |
| Second 25% (32) | $417,899 | $417,408 | $525,976 | $290,232 |
| Third 25% (32) | $240,316 | $244,280 | $288,625 | $188,333 |
| Bottom 25% (33) | $111,591 | $115,179 | $183,273 | $21,680 |
| All Reporting Territories (130) | $483,885 | $289,429 | $5,722,613 | $21,680 |
According to Item 7 of the 2026 FDD, the estimated initial investment to open a Screenmobile franchise ranges from $148,049 to $209,592. That includes a $49,500 franchise fee, a $47,000 startup package, inventory, insurance, vehicle-related expenses, software, training travel and $22,500 to $50,000 in additional funds for the first three months.
“One thing that appealed to me was the simplicity of getting started," Rowley said. "Your startup is you, a truck and a trailer and a laptop."
Screenmobile requires candidates to have at least $50,000 in liquid assets and $175,000 in net worth.
Screenmobile’s revenue potential is closely tied to scalability. Franchisees can begin by working hands-on in the business, then add technicians, vehicles, office support and additional territories as demand grows.
“It’s highly scalable,” Minturn said. "Screenmobile appeals to a wide range of candidates because success isn't dependent on prior screen industry experience," Minturn said. "Owners are supported by established systems and training that allow them to focus on operating and growing the business."
That became clear for Brian and Cindy McCaffery, owners of Screenmobile of Richmond, Virginia. Brian initially expected to run the business primarily by himself.
“Big picture, when I originally started, I was intending to be a one-man show,” Brian said. “I learned at that point, during one of the first days, that there is a lot of potential. I can do a lot more as an owner instead of an owner-operator in the business day to day.”
Screenmobile built its reputation around window and door screen repair, but today franchisees can also provide motorized screens, patio enclosures, awnings, security products, garage screens and other outdoor living solutions.
Those larger projects can help owners increase average ticket sizes. “Screenmobile by nature was a screening company — windows and doors,” said Clint Rowley, brand president of Screenmobile. “As we’ve evolved and continue to evolve, we’re getting into much bigger projects: motorized roll-downs, awnings, porches, patios, enclosures, three-season rooms and things of that nature.”
“We want to help our franchisees grow by expanding their vision on the products they’re selling and going after bigger-ticket items,” Rowley said.
The business also benefits from a fragmented competitive landscape. “From a category perspective, we have very limited competition because we have been at this for 40-plus years and we really invented the category, particularly in the franchise space,” Minturn said.
For Screenmobile leadership, the goal is not simply for franchisees to create a job for themselves. Owners can build teams and systems that eventually allow them to step away from daily installation work.
“For me, it’s always about growing the asset,” Rowley said. “I love the idea that I get to work, I get to earn money, my family gets to earn money, my employees get to earn money, but at the end of the day, it’s an asset just like a house or a stock that has value and can be sold.”
For owners who can build demand, expand their service mix and develop a capable team, Screenmobile offers a pathway from a single mobile operation to a larger home services business.
