Most of us already instinctively know what we spent over a year researching; specifically, that homeowners just aren't happy with home improvement companies. That's why Maintenance Made Simple was founded on the belief that home improvement shouldn't entail no-show repairmen, arbitrary pricing schemes, consistently dissatisfying experiences and a permeating absence of professionalism. We've built a new home maintenance industry from the ground up, with customer service, prompt service calls, reliable work and reasonable rates as our calling cards. And, surprisingly enough, it caught on fast. Now, Maintenance Made Simple is one of the fastest growing franchise systems in the home repair and remodeling industry. In fact, Entrepreneur Magazine just named the company as one of the top 500 franchises of 2008. Of course, with all this growth comes the need for quality franchisee candidates to carry on Maintenance Made Simple's tradition of excellence in home maintenance and repair. Which is why we're looking for entrepreneurial visionaries like you. Expand Your Network In areas that are franchised, Maintenance Made Simple develops strategic alliances with qualified contractors in every aspect of the home repair and remodeling industry.
Enviropaving was started in 2009 as a response to demand for the driveway resurfacing product that Shercom Industries invented and has mastered over thousands of installations since 1999. Since May of 2009 Enviropaving has expanded our franchises and launched operations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. We are a dynamic and fast growing company, and we constantly strive to improve operating systems, marketing strategies, training conventions and overall communications with our franchise partners. Unlike buying equipment-where the purchase represents the conclusion of the transaction, investing in an Enviropaving Franchise represents the beginning of the relationship.
