HOMEstretch®
What Is HOMEstretch?
HOMEstretch is a franchise in the Home & Commercial Services category. It targets owners and managers of residential homes, condos, and apartments (B2C), and may provide services to commercial customers upon the franchisor’s prior written approval. The core service bundle comprises residential home clear-outs, painting, pressure washing, handyman services, landscaping, junk removal, cleaning, and carpet/flooring replacements; some Approved Services may be provided by third-party subcontractors and franchisees must offer designated Approved Products associated with the Services.
HOMEstretch Franchise: Pros and Cons
The franchise's most notable strength is its spotless record-zero outlet terminations, zero non-renewals, zero reacquired outlets and no disclosed lawsuits or government penalties-signaling strong system stability; the main risk is a high initial franchise fee of $60,000 (top 10%/top quartile in Home and Commercial Services), which requires more upfront capital.
Pros
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
HOMEstretch reported no material legal proceedings,
Territory Protection
HOMEstretch grants a protected, non‑exclusive Designated Territory (typically ~150,000 households) with site-specific requirements and a 15% cap on revenue sourced outside the territory. The franchisor retains rights to develop nearby units, pursue National Accounts and alternative distribution channels (including e-commerce), and territory rights are contingent on meeting performance quotas.
Training & Support
The brand provides a focused 17-hour training curriculum designed to prepare two team members for launch. The program includes on-site launch support for operational readiness; franchisees are responsible for travel and lodging, and on-site assistance may involve additional fees.
Unit Growth Analysis
This franchise is on an accelerating growth trajectory: unit count went from 2 (2023) to 3 (2024), a 50% increase, then jumped to 73 in 2025 - a 2,333.3% year‑over‑year rise. For investors this signals a dramatic scaling event (organic rollout, master/franchise sales, or acquisition) that can indicate strong demand but requires verification of sustainability-confirm that the 73 units are operational, profitable, and supported by sufficient franchisor infrastructure before treating the spike as long‑term health.
