Hitting the road to help homeowners with an all-too common problem

The dreaded ripped window screen is an all-too common and frequent problem for homeowners. And while fixing standard screens is relatively easy in the scope of home repairs, sometimes the size of the window makes the repair a more involved task than a simple trip to the hardware store.

Screenmobile® solves that problem. They come to a customer’s house and fix the screen right on the spot. “We make it easy for homeowners. They just have to pick up the phone. For potential franchisees, it’s a very simple model and a business that’s in demand,” says Scott Walker, president and CEO of Screenmobile®.

Walker launched the brand in 1980 using a tent trailer and started fixing screens right on the spot. “It’s a truly mobile business, and the best part is that our vehicles are constantly getting us jobs. I can’t tell you how many leads we get simply by doing work outside a customer’s home,” he adds.

Offering franchise opportunities since 1984, the company now has 121 locations in 28 states. Walker attributes the company’s long-term success to a simple formula: convenience and professional service for customers and low overhead and high-margins for franchisees. “We offer tremendous support and education for our franchisees. It’s an investment in long-term success for all,” says Walker. For more information, visit www.screenmobile.com
