TruBlue Home Service Ally

Creating a legacy in the world of franchising is a goal for many entrepreneurs, but few systems offer the long-term support and business model that can&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/strategicfranchising/strategic-franchising-systems-the-entrepreneurial-franchise-launchpad-2721130">turn that dream into a reality</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-trublue-helps-franchisees-create-lasting-businesses-2728925" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a> is one such franchise system, providing franchisees with the tools, guidance and structure needed to build sustainable businesses. With the right support, franchisees can grow successful operations that last for years — sometimes even generations.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/from-operations-to-home-service-pioneer-how-trublues-franchisee-of-the-year-built-an-award-winning-business-in-roanoke-virginia-2722996">Dan McMurtry</a>, franchisee of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a> in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trublueally.com/roanoke?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-trublue-helps-franchisees-create-lasting-businesses-2728925" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Roanoke, Virginia</a>, is a prime example of how TruBlue's business model allows franchisees to create lasting businesses they can be proud of. McMurtry’s journey with TruBlue began in 2016, and since then, he has been instrumental in the brand's growth, even becoming&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublue-franchisee-makes-history-as-first-member-of-million-dollar-club-2726221">the first franchisee to exceed $1 million in annual revenue</a>."Building relationships is key to everything we do," McMurtry said. "It’s not just about offering a service — it’s about making genuine connections with customers. Over the years, almost every new customer I meet has become a friend."TruBlue's business model is designed to support franchisees like McMurtry, enabling them to build long-term success. At the heart of this model is the brand's strong focus on&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-now-is-the-perfect-time-to-join-the-home-maintenance-industry-with-trublue-2728594">home maintenance and aging-in-place services</a>, which meet the needs of a growing senior population. By offering ongoing, preventative care, TruBlue helps homeowners — especially seniors — keep their homes safe and in top condition. This consistent demand provides franchisees with a stable revenue stream that can sustain them well into the future.“We are seeing an increased demand, especially on the senior side of the business,” McMurtry said. “That’s the heart of what we do — providing home maintenance and modifications for seniors so they can live in their homes longer. We’ve seen steady growth, and I think it’s only going to continue.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublue-franchise-a-unique-and-profitable-opportunity-for-entrepreneurs-2728388">The support structure provided by TruBlue</a> is another key element in building a lasting business. Franchisees have access to a network of coaches who offer business advice, marketing support and strategic planning. This framework enables franchisees to thrive, even as they scale their operations."I’ve been with TruBlue for nine years now, and it’s positively evolved in that time," McMurtry said. "The support system is incredible — coaches help you with marketing, operations and everything you need to succeed. They truly care about your success because they know that when you succeed, the brand succeeds."This level of support is crucial when it comes to creating a business that lasts. TruBlue’s scalable model, which includes a&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/how-trublue-is-leading-in-the-subscription-based-home-maintenance-business-model-2720781">subscription-based service</a> for ongoing home maintenance, ensures that franchisees can build a reliable revenue stream. McMurtry attributes a significant portion of his success to the subscription service, which creates consistent income and keeps customers coming back.“Subscription services have been a game-changer for us,” McMurtry said. “People take better care of their cars than their homes, but we aim to change that mindset. The subscription model helps homeowners stay on top of their home maintenance and gives us a consistent revenue stream.”For franchisees like McMurtry, the potential for long-term success is clear. McMurtry has already had discussions with his son about potentially joining the business and continuing the family legacy.“I’ve talked to my son about him coming on board one day,” McMurtry said. “If not, I definitely think there’s strong demand for the business, and it could be sold when the time comes. TruBlue’s model makes that possible — whether it’s building something to pass down or sell, the foundation is there.”The scalability of TruBlue’s system also plays a big role in helping franchisees build businesses that can evolve over time. The brand’s commitment to ongoing support, combined with a flexible and profitable business model, positions franchisees for success.&nbsp;“Trusting the system is the key,” McMurtry said. “If you follow the proven processes, there’s no reason why you can’t succeed. I’ve seen it firsthand in my own business and with other franchisees. The support and resources available to us make it easier to grow steadily and sustainably.”For&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-trublue-is-a-great-franchise-for-power-couples-2727170">those considering joining TruBlue</a>, McMurtry’s story serves as a testament to the brand’s power to help franchisees build a lasting business. Whether it's the ability to scale, the flexibility to pass the business down to the next generation or the resources to help franchisees succeed, TruBlue is helping entrepreneurs create a lasting legacy.“We hit that $1 million revenue goal again this past year,” McMurtry said. “It’s steady growth, and that’s what you need to build something that lasts. TruBlue gives you everything you need to succeed, and I believe that’s why this business has been so rewarding for me and my family.”For more information, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally</a>.

<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a>, the national franchise dedicated to helping busy adults and seniors age in place safely and comfortably, closed out 2025 as the strongest year in the brand’s history. Fueled by record franchise development, rising systemwide revenue, and increasing demand for aging-in-place solutions, the brand enters 2026 positioned for even greater expansion.“We had by far our best year ever,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald">Sean Fitzgerald</a>, president of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>. “We’ve seen tremendous growth in not only new franchise owners, but also in growth and revenue systemwide. We more than doubled our new franchise agreements signed in 2025, and we’ve seen over a 25% increase in systemwide revenue.”According to Fitzgerald, the momentum goes beyond the numbers. TruBlue is attracting a new caliber of franchise owners — professionals with strong leadership, sales and marketing backgrounds who recognize the long-term opportunity in the aging-in-place sector.“Overall growth is really overshadowing any other big developments,” Fitzgerald said. “A lot of new professionals are joining TruBlue with really impressive backgrounds. The level of business acumen of our new owners coming into the system has been very impressive.”As TruBlue’s footprint expands nationwide, the brand is unlocking new opportunities to serve seniors and their families through broader partnerships and programs aimed at supporting safe, independent living.“Because we’ve grown so rapidly and we have much more coverage than we did even a year ago, we’re beginning to develop more strategic partners and programs,” Fitzgerald said. “There’s nothing new about aging in place, but the demand for our services is becoming more and more pronounced.”That demand, Fitzgerald explained, is being driven by a critical gap in the marketplace, one TruBlue is uniquely positioned to fill.“There are not a lot of options for people who need simple and minor senior modifications like grab bars or handheld showers,” he said. “Durable medical equipment companies focus on large installations and don’t want to mess with small projects. Seniors are left struggling to find trustworthy people for these services, and that’s our sweet spot.”As insurance and subsidy models evolve, more age-driven services are becoming eligible for coverage, further accelerating demand.“Historically, health insurance only covered services prescribed by a doctor,” Fitzgerald said. “Now, more services are age-driven instead of need-driven, which is fueling demand. Our opportunities are going to increase because we’re happy to do these minor senior modifications. Our business model is to build long-term customer relationships and not just a transactional business.”Looking ahead, TruBlue’s leadership team sees its expanding coverage as the final piece needed to unlock even more national partnerships.“The only thing holding us back from developing more national partnerships in the past was coverage,” Fitzgerald said. “The demand is there, we just need good operators in more markets. It’s almost an ‘I told you so’ moment. The senior aging-in-place wave is here. It’s no longer coming — it’s evident, and it’s fueling our growth.”As TruBlue prepares for 2026, the brand continues to seek franchise partners who are natural community builders and storytellers.“We’re really looking for people with a sales and marketing mindset,” Fitzgerald said. “Our owners are creating awareness, connecting to the community and becoming the local authority on aging in place. We’re looking for people who can build teams, network and tell the story of why our services matter.”With record-setting growth behind it and powerful demographic trends ahead, TruBlue enters the new year confident in its position at the forefront of the aging-in-place movement.“Our owners have been doing a great job connecting with their communities,” Fitzgerald said. “This trend is only going to continue, and we are well-positioned for it.”To learn more about franchise opportunities with TruBlue Home Service Ally, visit: <a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info">&nbsp;https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/info</a>.

The home maintenance, repair, and senior modification franchise caps its strongest year ever, driven by rapid franchise expansion, systemwide revenue gains, and surging market demand.
