But the more Buche looked into the concept, the more he saw it wasn’t just another franchise opportunity — it was the chance to do something truly meaningful in his community while making a good living at the same time.&nbsp;“I am really a big believer in the franchising model,” said Buche. “Not only do you have the franchisor you can lean on, but you also have all of those owners across the country in the trenches right there alongside you. It is nice to have that support in place. It takes a lot to start a new business, and franchising helps you put your best foot forward.”Buche started his career serving in the U.S. Army for three years as a field artillery soldier. After returning home, he wanted to take control of his own destiny and follow his entrepreneurial passions. He ended up taking the franchising route and invested in a doggy daycare franchise, which he owned for 18 years, before selling the business to start something new.&nbsp;“From there, I started working for a startup that was related to home services,” said Buche. “We would often get questions from clients: do you offer handyman services? That piqued my interest. Then, over the last year and a half, my mother has had three different surgeries, and I saw the importance of having a home that is safe and comfortable for seniors who are aging in place. That is what got me looking into TrueBlue.”But as an experienced franchisee, Buche knew the importance of doing the proper due diligence before investing in a brand. “It really seemed like the franchise had all its ducks in a row. Everything was organized and laid out,” he said. “Also, helping seniors age in place is really a nice differentiating factor for the franchise, as is the fact that we are nimble and willing to take on those smaller handyman projects that larger companies won’t tackle. You can always find a cheaper alternative, but it is not necessarily a better alternative. That is what I thought TruBlue offered that my community really needed.”Buche decided to buy an existing&nbsp;<a href="https://trubluehousecare.com/lakewood?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-this-experienced-franchisee-decided-to-purchase-an-existing-trublue-total-house-care-location-2720491" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue franchise territory in Lakewood, Colorado</a>, a suburb of Denver. “The wheels were already in motion,” he said. “I was looking for a business that was up and running and had some good reviews already. It was a win-win.”Buche officially took over the TruBlue business in November and said he has already seen an influx of calls coming in. “We have been really busy, and I’ve been drinking from a firehose, but at the same time, it is a lot of fun,” he said. “I am more encouraged every day.”Looking ahead, Buche says his goal is to continue growing with the company and eventually add extra territories to his portfolio. “It is really the perfect business model for someone older like me,” he said. “I am helping seniors and busy families, which fits into my age group and the people I am already around. My goal is to spend my days being happy and healthy and helping other families in my community as their needs grow and change.”TruBlue is actively seeking new franchise owners like Buche in markets across the country and has identified Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville and Naples,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-eyes-florida-as-top-market-for-large-scale-growth-2716150#featured">Florida</a>, as well as Dallas and Austin,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/trubluehousecare/trublue-total-house-care-sets-its-sights-on-texas-for-growth-in-2022-2718609#featured">Texas</a>, as key development markets.“Aaron is a great addition to the TruBlue family, and we are excited to see his impact on his community with TruBlue’s much-needed service,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seancfitzgerald?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-this-experienced-franchisee-decided-to-purchase-an-existing-trublue-total-house-care-location-2720491" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue President Sean Fitzgerald</a>.&nbsp;The total investment estimate for a TruBlue Total House Care franchise ranges from $65,050–$91,400.

<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.
