Do I need a background in construction to own a STOP Restoration franchise?
No. Though any experience in construction, restoration or just being “good with your hands” may certainly help, it’s definitely not a requirement to become an owner of your own restoration franchise with STOP Restoration. Our motto is “Start Simple, Grow Big.” The truth is, many of our franchisees do not come on board with this kind of background, yet have found great success with us. We offer everything you need to run a successful business, including extensive technical training.
STOP Restoration tailors our program to start new owners off with water damage cleaning, light-duty restoration as well as mold remediation. Neither of these requires any construction. You can rest easy knowing that we’ve been in this business for a long time and have a lot of knowledge and experience that will always be at your disposal.
