It seems that Americans are putting their money where their home is. The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard recently reported in their 2005 report “The Changing Structure of the Home Remodeling Industry” that homeowners and rental property owners spent $233 billion in 2003 on home remodeling. Wow! Due to the long work hours many homeowners are keeping they’re looking for help, not only with renovations, but also with home maintenance chores. Following the money trail many small businesses have started up to meet these needs and some are franchised.
CNNMoney.com highlighted seven such franchises. They are:
Garage Tek
Designs of the Interior
Kitchen Solvers
Mosquito Squad
Floor Coverings International
Spring Green Lawn Care
