About

Since 1996, Mr. Handyman® has provided a variety of residential and commercial home improvement services as a nationally recognized industry leader. Mr. Handyman franchise owners serve customers in more than 340 locations across North America. When it comes to starting a home improvement business, franchise owners looking to be their own boss have the support and resources to pursue their dream of business ownership in a growing industry.

Mr. Handyman is proud to be a part of Neighborly®, the world’s largest home services franchise with 19 brands and more than 5,000 locations focused on repairing, maintaining, and enhancing properties. Utilizing decades of experience and scale through the Neighborly Hub, this multi-brand portfolio provides our franchise owners with distinct advantages like improved networking opportunities and customer referrals between brands in the same local market, ultimately creating value for franchise owners and customers alike.

The Neighborly Done Right Promise™ is a core component of putting customer service first by taking the stress out of home maintenance, having pride in the work that gets done, and promising to make things right. Additionally, the culture across the entire family of brands is embodied by the Neighborly Code of Values, which emphasizes the importance of fostering a set of ideals that guide the organization. These elements, while small to some, set Neighborly and Mr. Handyman franchise owners apart from the competition.

Why Franchise With Mr. Handyman?

No Industry Experience Required: By utilizing an executive ownership model where you make the decisions and manage your own business, you won’t need to swing a hammer to be successful, especially after hiring an expert staff.

Service Diversity: With a service offering covering innumerable residential and commercial needs, Mr. Handyman is the one-stop shop for installation, repair, remodeling, and everything in between. DIY can only take most homeowners so far, but our licensed professionals will get any job done right.

Prime Territories: With available territories in some of the fastest-growing markets, there’s ample space and demand to establish your franchise. Better yet, thanks to designated territories, you’ll be able to collaborate and share best practices with other Mr. Handyman locations instead of compete for the same customers.

ProTradeNet® Buying Power: Exclusively available to Neighborly brand franchise owners, you’ll have access to discounts and rebates from over 250 preferred vendors, such as Lowe's and The Home Depot. In 2023, Neighborly brand franchise owners who joined PTN collectively received over $8.7 million in rebates and $98 million in up-front savings.

Award-Winning Recognition: With more than 25 years of success, Mr. Handyman has been recognized by leading organizations within the franchising space, such as Entrepreneur Franchise 500®, Franchise Business Review Top 200, and Franchise Times Top 400®.

Veteran Discounts: We are proud to partner with VetFran and offer franchise fee discounts for qualified veterans. With more than 425 current Veteran owners across Neighborly brands, we’re committed to helping transitioning and current Veterans achieve their business goals.

Ongoing Training: Comprehensive education opportunities such as regional training events, national conferences, and owner collaboration ensure you have the knowledge to function at the top of your game.

Neighborly App: This free app makes it convenient for customers to find your brand, get inspiration for home projects, and book service appointments with just a few clicks.

Digital Integration: In an increasingly technology-based world, hosted landing pages, SEO and PPC guidance, and social media presence make it easier for customers to find your business.
