Products & Services
The
success of Maintenance Made Simple’s business model
is founded upon a very simple idea; we strive to bridge the
gap between homeowners and the business of home improvement.
After more than a year of research, the founders of Maintenance Made Simple confirmed what many of us already know, that homeowners consistently report dissatisfying experiences with the craftsmen who perform home improvement services upon their homes. Homeowner surveys were filled with tales of craftsman tardiness, mysterious, arbitrary pricing schemes and a general absence of professionalism. Even more telling, many homeowners acknowledged that they simply accepted these maladies as part of the industry.
Surprisingly, while homeowners were all quick to point out craftsman weaknesses, the founder’s research showed that many craftsmen openly acknowledged their shortcomings as well! Even the best craftsmen admitted to being challenged by customer service, marketing, and business administration. From this research, the founders were convinced that the 150 billion dollar home repair industry was ready for a handyman services franchise that could combine the quality workmanship that was readily abundant in almost every market across the country with the advanced customer-service and marketing systems that seemed to be so consistently missing. From their collective business experiences came ideas for a home remodeling franchise business opportunity with a nationwide call center, corporate sales programs, and a “customer-first” operating environment - a franchise designed to satisfy both homeowners and local home improvement craftsmen.
