Local Handyman turns the traditional home services model on its head—empowering owners to lead teams, not swing tools. With done-for-you marketing, 24/7 AI call handling, complete bookkeeping, and a proven recruiting system, franchisees scale fast with growing demand and minimal overhead. No handyman experience required—just hunger, hustle, and heart.
The Franchise Built for Leaders, Not Laborers
Local Handyman is redefining the home services industry with a franchise model designed for leaders, not laborers. Led by serial entrepreneur Colin Sprake, who has coached more than 110,000 business owners over 25 years, Local Handyman transforms traditional handyman work into a scalable, relationship-driven business.
Franchisees—called Success Partners—focus on building and leading teams rather than performing the repairs themselves. The model is built for growth and freedom, combining multiple revenue streams with robust systems for recruiting, marketing, bookkeeping, and automation. Each franchise operates lean with no storefront required, providing services through salaried, W-2 handymen who deliver consistent, high-quality workmanship under one trusted brand.
