TruBlue Home Service Ally

For 17 years, Matt Haddox worked in the corporate world as an accountant, managing teams in manufacturing and furniture industries. However, sitting in an office left him feeling unfulfilled and he wanted to do something that actually helped his community. When his grandfather fell, forcing his grandparents to move out of their lifelong home and into assisted living, he witnessed the emotional strain this transition placed on his family firsthand.&nbsp;Through his relationships with older neighbors in the community, he realized that many of them desperately want to remain in their homes. Now, as the owner of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=matt-haddox-trublue-west-county-2731018" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a> of West County in Missouri, he is able to provide the safety modifications and handyman services seniors need to age in place comfortably.1851 Franchise spoke with Haddox about his journey into franchising and his plans for the future. Here’s what he had to say:1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us. What do you want us to know?Matt Haddox:&nbsp;I grew up in a somewhat small town — Washington, Missouri. From there, I went to college and I actually studied psychology for three years. I did a complete 180 and decided to go into accounting. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in accounting and jumped right into the corporate world, where I’ve been for the past 17 years. I’ve always been interested in business ownership and I decided now was finally time to pursue that.1851: What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Haddox:&nbsp;I worked for a company that manufactured electrical transformers for five years. Then I went to another company that does ready-to-assemble furniture. I did that for the past 11 or 12 years. I realized I knew how to run those teams, but to try to run my own company, I'd be very out on an island. The franchise system provides support and helps jump-start the process. If I was doing my own thing right now, I'm sure I'd probably still be in the first stage. That support system is what I was looking for.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Haddox:&nbsp;Franchising is something that’s been on my mind for a long time. The first few months have been very busy.&nbsp;As a franchisee, you wear a lot of hats like HR, marketing and operations. When you’re navigating this as an owner, it’s so helpful to call someone else for support who’s been through the process.&nbsp;1851:&nbsp;What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Haddox: I wanted to do something with purpose that would help the community. I wanted to provide services that people would actually need. My grandparents had to move into a home because of my grandpa's fall and I saw the strain that it put on my parents. It aligned with my desire to help seniors stay in their homes. A lot of seniors don't want to move out of their homes as they age. When I heard about the brand’s emphasis on serving seniors, I knew it was the right brand.1851:&nbsp;What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?&nbsp;Haddox:&nbsp;My goal is to be the one-stop shop for anything people need in their homes. I want them to know that&nbsp;we're the ones that can help them out. The senior focus is what I'm really passionate about because I want to support seniors aging in place. I think that's where I really see the potential and the growth for this business. I have noticed that there's a lot of people out there that just want someone to help, so I think this business is something that I can naturally grow in this area.1851:&nbsp;Is there anything else about your story you want us to know?Haddox:&nbsp;My wife and I actually looked into opening a small grocery store 16 years ago, but ultimately decided to stick with the jobs we had at the time. I’ve been considering business ownership again recently and when I found&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>, it felt like a great opportunity.1851:&nbsp;What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming franchise owners?Haddox:&nbsp;It's probably going to feel overwhelming, but once you get into it and you start seeing things come together, it's very fun and fulfilling. For people who are considering a franchise, you're probably going to second-guess things, but you have to pursue it. Make sure it's something you're passionate about. That's probably the number one thing. When I saw the senior modification aspect of the business, I knew it was something that I could care about long term.About TruBlue Home Service Ally:TruBlue Home Service Ally® provides a unique and affordable approach to helping busy adults and seniors live a worry-free life by offering trustworthy handyman, home maintenance and senior modification services.

What excites you about owning a TruBlue Franchise?

Own a TruBlue Total House Care

For decades,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-dawes-09067411/">John Dawes</a> has successfully built businesses from the ground up. Most recently, it was his work in bathroom safety remodeling that shifted his perspective. While helping seniors modify their homes for safety, Dawes saw firsthand the immense relief and joy his work brought to families.Now, at 60 years old, Dawes isn't looking to retire, he is looking to continue making a difference. Determined to spend the next decade doing meaningful work, Dawes has launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a> in Sioux Falls. By pivoting to franchising, he is skipping the "start-up" headaches he faced in previous ventures to focus entirely on what drives him: providing peace of mind to the Sioux Falls community and helping neighbors stay safe and comfortable in their homes.1851 Franchise sat down with Dawes to discuss the launch of his new business. Here’s what he had to say:1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us. What do you want us to know?John Dawes: I've been in sales and management for most of my career. I bounced around from the auto industry to the mortgage industry, then onto the advertising agency world. I owned a mortgage company for many years here in Sioux Falls. Then I became their national sales trainer and their sales manager for 34 locations. I also owned an auto dealership leads and credit repair company called The Right Track Solution for five years.For the last year and a half, I headed up a national bathroom remodeling company. About 75% of my business was working with seniors, and I really enjoyed seeing firsthand how we impacted our customers and the new peace of mind our services provided for them. This really motivated me to open a business centered around seniors. I still have 10 to 15 years left to work, so I thought, “Why not open a senior service-centered business?”1851: What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Dawes: My first two businesses that I owned, there was not really a model to go by. So, you pretty much had to do everything from figuring out your CRM and your marketing approaches. I did not want to go down that road again because it takes a lot of work and a lot of time. What really attracted me to franchising is that they've already got everything completed for you. It’s like a turnkey business. You go in, follow the instructions and here you go.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Dawes: I have a lot of friends that own franchises in different industries, so a lot of my perception of franchising comes from their experiences. Some of them were given a ton of freedom and leeway, others not at all. I thought initially that the franchisor would give me everything, but it turned out that they did give me some decision-making power, and I really appreciate that.1851: What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Dawes: When I found&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a> it was just a perfect match. I've always had a heart for helping people, especially seniors. With what they get for compensation and then the amount of things that they give you and the amount of support they give you, there really aren’t any franchises out there like them. They go above and beyond what many other companies do.1851: What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?Dawes: I grew up in North Dakota in Grand Forks, so there might be possibilities of expanding to my home areas. I would definitely like to expand further south, maybe to Sioux City. There aren’t too many TruBlue territories in this area, so there is plenty of opportunity to expand.1851: Is there anything else about your story you want us to know?Dawes: I've always had just a passion for helping people and treating them how they should be treated. With my sales background I always aimed to not put a ton of pressure on customers to purchase or not purchase.Also, I've played racquetball for probably 40 years, 50 years, and I’m a new grandparent! I have one grandchild right now, with 2 more on the way. A lot of my time is spent with my family these days.1851: What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming franchise owners?Dawes: I would definitely say that if you've got the inkling that franchise ownership is something you want to do, then you should do it. The nice thing about franchising is that there's always going to be help and support at the ready for you. If you have the drive to succeed, you will succeed.About TruBlue Home Service Ally:TruBlue Home Service Ally® provides a unique and affordable approach to helping busy adults and seniors live a worry-free life by offering trustworthy handyman, home maintenance and senior modification services.

TruBlue Home Service Ally - John Dawes Franchisee Feature - 1851 Franchise

Sioux Falls Business Owner and Sales Veteran To ‘Finish Strong’ With TruBlue Home Service Ally Franchise

trublue-home-service-ally-franchisee-john-dawes-sioux-falls

For new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a> owners, the journey starts with a strong foundation of training and support. Before the first job is booked,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue’s</a> onboarding process ensures franchisees feel confident and equipped to launch.<h2>Signing, Training and Launching</h2>For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-smith-50780b364">Michael Smith</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodi-phillips-298502107">Jodi Phillips</a>, owners of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trublueally.com/culpeper">TruBlue of Culpeper</a> in Virginia, that process began as soon as they signed their franchise agreement.“We spent a week in the in-person training session and that was very informative and helpful,” Jodi said. “There were also multiple calls twice a week, and we felt it was very important to go through those things independently. We both got different things from each section. There was a lot of coaching and support to get things set up.”With her background as a licensed physical therapist assistant, Jodi was looking for a concept that aligned with her experience. “The addition of the senior and aging in place services really sealed the deal for us,” she said. “It seemed like an obvious choice.”For Michael, who spent years in federal investigation work and grew up around construction, the decision was about combining skill and purpose.“The aging population is going to be huge and there isn’t much out there helping,” he said. “We like to help people on a personal level, and TruBlue gives us a way to do that.”The pair purchased their franchise in May, completed training and onboarding in June, and officially launched operations in July. “We had our soft launch in June, reaching out to friends, family and neighbors,” Michael said. “That gave us time to test everything before our official opening.”They funded their business through a 401(k) rollover (ROBS), a common financing path for new TruBlue owners. “It was the right move for us,” Michael said. “We’ve far exceeded expectations in our first four months.”<h2>Building Your First Team and Client Base</h2>Once open, the first 90 days are all about momentum, building the right crew, booking early jobs, and becoming a known presence in the community.For&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trublue-denver-west-bottoms-family-2729944">Miles and Cassondra Bottoms</a>, who own&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trublueally.com/denver-west/About-Us">TruBlue of Denver West</a> in Colorado, the early months were a whirlwind.“It’s a lot of hours, around 60 a week,” Cassondra said. “We’re getting used to our processes, drinking from the fire hose. But we’ve been very conscious about doing things the right way.”The Bottoms quickly learned that hiring strategically would be key to growth. “We’ve already hired an assistant,” Cassondra said. “Some people don’t think it’s a value they can afford, but we realized we couldn’t afford&nbsp;not to have someone helping us. It freed us to go out and sell more business.”Miles agrees that building a reliable team is step one. “There’s a big misconception that you open the business and are immediately out there running,” he said. “Initially, it’s all about getting a team you can sell, one you’re confident can deliver what you promise. Once you dial that in, everything else follows.”Their daily routine became a balance of scheduling, quoting, job management and relationship-building. “You have to know what a successful day looks like,” Miles said. “Otherwise you’ll just bury yourself. It’s about prioritizing and adjusting.”<h2>Community Engagement and Local Marketing</h2>As operations stabilize, TruBlue owners begin shifting focus toward relationship-driven marketing, the backbone of long-term success.Cassondra and Miles discovered that&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/be-a-community-hero-how-trublue-franchisees-are-changing-lives-beyond-business-2730484">local engagement</a> pays off quickly. “We’ve been really intentional about being part of the community,” Cassondra said. “Whether it’s going to a gala, sponsoring a silent auction or joining the Chamber of Commerce, we’ve made those connections a weekly priority. The payoff is real. We’re already seeing organic leads come in.”By taking estimating off her plate and focusing on relationship-building, Cassondra found they could grow more efficiently. “We want to be a vendor of choice,” she said. “If we can work with the VPs of operations in our community, we know that will lead to recurring business.”For Michael and Jodi,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublue-and-lifewise-partner-to-deliver-safer-healthier-homes-for-seniors-2730494">TruBlue’s national marketing systems and partnerships</a> provided a strong boost early on.“The franchise path really allowed us to jump three years ahead in business planning,” Michael said. “TruBlue already has national partnerships, the marketing is already there, we don’t have to worry about anything. We just plug and play into our personal vision.”<h2>Scaling, Streamlining and Looking Ahead</h2>By the end of year one, most TruBlue franchisees are focused on growth, adding subscriptions, expanding their team and planning for future territories.“Our goals are adjusting on a day-by-day basis,” Jodi said. “We currently have one territory, but we’re already thinking about expanding into multiple territories — even exploring other brands.”For the Bottoms, culture has been central to scaling. “We have a motto of hiring slow but firing fast,” Cassondra said. “We have Monday morning meetings every week so the guys feel part of the team. Everyone has something that matters to them, and we’re learning what motivates them.”And while every new business comes with challenges, both franchisee teams agree that&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/how-trublue-helps-franchisees-create-lasting-businesses-2728925">TruBlue’s network of support</a> has made the first year smoother.“When we have questions or concerns, we have someone we can reach out to anytime,” Cassondra said. “The biggest help has been talking to other franchise owners. Everyone shares advice, it’s like having a community behind you.”Michael echoes that sentiment. “It’s definitely lived up to our expectations,” he said. “The model works, and we’ve been able to exceed goals faster than we imagined. The support and structure make a huge difference.”<h2>A Year of Hard Work, Growth and Purpose</h2>The first year of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublue-franchise-a-unique-and-profitable-opportunity-for-entrepreneurs-2728388">owning a TruBlue franchise</a> is packed with learning, growth and connection. Between training, hiring, community building and delivering meaningful services to seniors and families, new franchisees quickly see how the business can align with their personal and professional goals.It’s a year that requires drive, but one that rewards every ounce of effort with progress and purpose.“It’s amazing to set your own standards,” Michael said. “It’s our product at the end of the day. All of our work goes toward it, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back.”For more information, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info</a>.

For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrel-ferguson-66665529/">Darrel</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/traci-ferguson-17348551/">Traci Ferguson</a>, owning a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally franchise</a> has meant more than financial success — it’s meant freedom. Over the past year, the Hill Country couple has created a business that allows them to serve their community, care for family and finally enjoy the lifestyle they’ve always wanted.“We’ve gotten smarter for sure,” Darrel said. “That’s probably why the business has gotten better and easier to deal with. You put a lot of effort up front and make a lot of sacrifices, but once you learn how to manage the business effectively, it gives you the freedom to do what you love. We were able to take care of our granddaughter for a few weeks recently, which wouldn’t have been possible before. That’s the kind of flexibility we wanted.”<h2>From DIY to TruBlue</h2>Before&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a>, the Fergusons were already homebuilders and DIY enthusiasts. Darrel grew up in a family-owned construction business. Traci ran her own blog called “My Simpatico Life,” where she shared renovation projects and design inspiration. When a personal experience revealed a gap in local senior home modification services, they saw an opportunity to turn their skills and passion into something more meaningful.“My father-in-law was healthy and doing great, and a couple of falls later, I was online trying to find someone to install grab bars and a shower seat,” Darrel said. “Frankly, we couldn’t find anybody in the area who did that. I did the installation myself, and it made a big difference in his life. TruBlue focuses on busy families and the senior community, so it felt like the perfect way to bring it all full circle.”<h2>Fast-Tracking Success Through Franchising</h2>The Fergusons knew they could build a successful business on their own — they’d done it before — but franchising offered a smarter, faster way forward.“On the side of a franchise versus starting your own business, the franchise put us further ahead,” Traci said. “They already have systems in place — the software, the processes, the marketing. You don’t have to test out different things because they’ve already done that for you. We were able to hit the ground running and ramp up quicker than we ever could have individually.”That head start allowed the Fergusons to focus on growing their business and improving efficiency rather than reinventing the wheel.“A lot of times, you overlook the power of processes and software,” Darrel said. “Having our management tool already in place is key. TruBlue taught us how to follow the process, and it makes everything remarkably easier to manage.”<h2>A Day in the Life</h2>The Fergusons’ typical day is a mix of operations and client connection — with time built in for family and personal pursuits.“Generally, mornings are about making sure people are going to show up where they’re supposed to be,” Darrel said. “We visit a job site, check on the crew, make sure they’re happy and that we’re meeting client expectations. Estimates usually run until mid-afternoon, and then it’s back to the office to complete quotes and prepare for the next day. If everything goes according to plan, I can wind down and enjoy doing something else. That balance is what makes this so rewarding.”<h2>Support Every Step of the Way</h2><a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/trublues-rapid-growth-can-be-attributed-to-extensive-training-ongoing-support-for-franchise-owners-2723565">TruBlue’s ongoing support network</a> has been another game-changer for the Fergusons.“We have a business coach we meet with regularly who helps us identify areas for improvement,” Traci said. “And we have an entire community of other TruBlue franchisees. If I’m trying to figure out a problem, there’s a group to share it with. Everyone is open and willing to share information and ideas. If you ask, people have answers — we all want each other to be successful.”That sense of shared purpose aligns with the Fergusons’ long-term vision: to expand their business, strengthen community partnerships and eventually&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/how-trublue-helps-franchisees-create-lasting-businesses-2728925">create a family legacy</a> for their four daughters.“After years in corporate and construction, we wanted something new, something we could grow together,” Darrel said. “We love that we’re building something meaningful while still having the freedom to enjoy life. That’s what TruBlue has given us — a business that supports our goals and our lifestyle.”For more information on franchising with TruBlue, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info</a>.

Fergusons' Lifestyle Business Success with TruBlue Franchise

Build a Business That Supports Lifestyle Goals With TruBlue

trublue-home-service-ally-lifestyle-franchise-success

As America’s senior population grows, the demand for safe, comfortable and accessible homes is stronger than ever.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a> has long been at the forefront of helping older adults age in place through handyman, maintenance and senior modification services. Now, thanks to a powerful partnership with&nbsp;<a href="https://lifewisechm.com/">Lifewise CHM</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">TruBlue</a> franchisees can deliver even more tailored, clinically informed home modifications that directly improve safety, mobility and overall well-being.<h2>A Partnership Built on Expertise and Compassion</h2>Lifewise CHM specializes in clinical home modifications, bringing health care expertise and occupational therapy insights into the home improvement process. By working with TruBlue franchisees, Lifewise ensures that every adjustment — from grab bars to ramps to widened doorways — is not just well-built, but customized to meet the unique needs of each individual.“Lifewise is very versed in construction and what should and shouldn’t happen,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tad-albright-ab96b32a">Tad Albright</a>, a TruBlue franchise owner in Wichita, Kansas. “They are the only ones I know of who offer a full assessment with an occupational therapist. It helps you know what their limitations are. Lifewise takes the time and the personal attention for these clients, which is extremely beneficial.” And Tad says Lifewise is not just about aging in place, but also about helping people of all ages find a safer and more humane way to live. “Many of these folks have not showered or bathed in years due to the lack of access to a safe means of showering or bathing,” he said. “Or they struggle daily to get up and down the stairs in and out of their own home to live a more full and productive life.”<h2>Real-World Impact in Wichita</h2>For Tad, who runs&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trublueally.com/north-wichita">TruBlue of North Wichita</a> with his wife Tara, the partnership has already proven transformative.“We’ve run a lot of appointments for them and we’ve helped several people — and can hopefully help a lot more — in terms of accessibility, showers, cleanliness, etc.,” he said. “We’ve done ramps, bath remodels, widening doorways, grab bars, stairwells — helping people get in and out of the house safely, as well as being comfortable in their homes. We’ve had great feedback from all of the customers.”The process starts with a joint visit. A Lifewise occupational therapist conducts a physical assessment while Tad handles the measuring, sketching and construction planning. Together, they sit down with the homeowner to discuss not only what is possible but also what will truly&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/why-now-is-the-perfect-time-to-join-the-home-maintenance-industry-with-trublue-2728594">make the home safer and more livable.</a>“We will spend the first ten minutes in the home with the therapist,” Tad said. “From there, I do my measuring and assess what construction-wise could work. We have another conversation with the member about how we can better improve the home to make it safer, more accessible, and more comfortable.”<h2>Aging in Place, With Dignity</h2>For Tad, this work is deeply personal. Both he and his wife were inspired to join TruBlue after caring for aging parents and witnessing firsthand the difference that a well-prepared home can make.“My mother was able to pass away at home because my father was able to update the home,” Tad said. “The majority of people want to age in place. It’s humbling to see how many people are struggling in homes that aren’t safe. A lot of them are on fixed incomes, and we try to be sympathetic and empathetic.”The partnership with Lifewise has helped Tad deliver on the very reason he bought a TruBlue franchise.“When I bought the TruBlue franchise, the ability to help people is really what steered me to the brand. The aging in place aspect,” he said. “It was very difficult to break into that pillar of the business — regardless of how many times you reach out. But this partnership provided me the opportunity to move in the direction and the purpose of why I bought TruBlue: helping those who are in need.”<h2>A Growing Network of Support</h2>Based in Kansas City, Lifewise works with its members through a scheduling system that directly connects with TruBlue franchisees like Tad. Together, they provide a seamless process — one that blends TruBlue’s trusted home service capabilities with Lifewise’s clinical insights.And the collaboration with Lifewise is just one example of how TruBlue works hand-in-hand with trusted organizations to better serve seniors and families. From in-home care leaders like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.comfortkeepersfranchise.com/">Comfort Keepers</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/blog/2020/10/09/complete-in-home-solutions">Right at Home</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/growth-club/comforcare-home-care-franchise">ComForCare</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://carepatrol.com/">CarePatrol</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.homeinstead.com/home-care/usa/or/portland/289/">Home Instead</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trublueally.com/blog/New-Partnership-The-Helper-Bees-and-TruBlue">The Helper Bees</a> to industry associations such as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nahb.org/">NAHB</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://caps.creditacceptance.com/">CAPS</a>, TruBlue’s national partnerships all align with the mission of creating safer, more secure, and more comfortable living environments.&nbsp;For more information on franchising with TruBlue, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info">https://1851franchise.com/trubluehomeserviceally/info</a>.
