USA INSULATION

USA Insulation franchises operate businesses that evaluate clients' insulation needs and sell and install a range of insulation products, including proprietary injection foam, polyurethane spray foam, blown fiberglass, and rolled/batten fiberglass insulation, along with other authorized products and services. Franchisees use the USA Insulation marks and proprietary operating system to provide these services at clients' properties, primarily targeting residential and commercial property owners seeking energy-efficient insulation solutions. The business model involves operating from an approved light industrial location within a designated territory, utilizing standardized vehicles and trained installers.

Data Based On: 41 USA Insulation franchises operating a total of 79 designated territories for the full calendar year ended December 31, 2024.

* Estimated profit range (best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high) calculated using the overall average gross revenue ($2,437,318) and the minimum and maximum observed total percentages of proprietary foam products, goods, sales commissions, and labor costs across the 35 franchises for which all these cost percentages were reported. The minimum total combined cost percentage was 37% (0.37) of gross sales, and the maximum was 112% (1.12) of gross sales. These figures represent the potential range after deducting the explicitly stated operating expenses, but the document explicitly states that 'the information in this Item 19 does not reflect all costs of sales, operating expenses or other costs or expenses that must be deducted from the sales figures to calculate net income or profit.'
