Furniture Repair Technician Franchise Network

A franchise model where certified repair technicians visit homeowners on-demand to fix stripped screw holes, loose joints, and other common particleboard furniture issues using proprietary tools, inserts, and techniques. Technicians are trained in 2 weeks, equipped with a standardized toolkit, and dispatched via mobile app. Franchisees pay $15k entry fee + 15% of revenue; end customers pay $45–75 per repair visit (30–45 min).

SERVICE

44 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates the friction of DIY repair (buying kits, learning technique, risk of failure) by providing a trained professional who shows up, fixes the problem in 30 minutes, and guarantees the repair. Franchisees earn $45–75/job with 70% margins; corporate captures scale through training, supply chain, and customer acquisition. Retailers reduce returns and increase customer lifetime value.

Original Problem

Cheap furniture and cabinetry becomes unusable when screw holes strip and enlarge in particleboard

DIY enthusiasts and homeowners repeatedly encounter stripped screw holes in melamine and chipboard furniture, rendering expensive pieces unusable after minor repairs or reassembly. Standard screwing techniques fail because the soft, low-density material compresses and tears around fasteners. Current solutions (toothpicks, epoxy, larger screws) are temporary workarounds that don't reliably fix the problem, forcing people to either discard furniture or live with broken items.
