Item 7 outlines a moderate entry: initial investment $186,730-$284,250, franchise fee $19,950—lower than many brick-and-mortar home improvement peers. Ongoing fees hit 5% royalty plus 1% brand fund and a $250 monthly technology surcharge, totaling around 6% plus fixed costs. Item 19 shines with average gross sales of $734,688 across disclosed units, though the median $449,966 signals some outperformers skew the top line; no profit figures, but at 20-30% margins typical for install-heavy services, owners might net $90K-$220K pre-tax depending on performance.

System metrics raise eyebrows: 146 locations after shrinking from 162 in 2023 to 147 in 2024 (-9% contraction), bucking home services growth norms. Yet low red flags—only 3 terminations and 1 transfer—suggest stability under JM Family Enterprises parent (since 2006). For mobile operators targeting homeowners, this FDD paints a viable play if you hit above-median sales, but scout local demand amid the slowdown.
