Storm Guard, a growing roofing company with 39 locations in 17 states, now has its eyes on expanding its franchise into Iowa – including one in the Davenport market.
In a news release, Storm Guard said it is looking to add 100 franchise locations in the next five years with the Iowa cities of Davenport, Des Moines, Iowa City and Cedar Rapids on its target list. The Fort Worth, Texas-based Storm Guard is searching for franchise partners to open two territories in the state.
“With the wide range of temperatures, hail, tornadoes and storms that Iowa experiences each year, it’s clear that our services are a necessity,” Shane Lynch, the company president, said in the release.
Founded in 2003, Storm Guard saw the demand for a company specializing in roofing and construction. As a single location in Minnesota, Storm Guard found themselves traveling to help communities devastated by natural disasters. After working with victims of a 2012 hurricane in Florida, the founders decided to turn their business model into a franchise.
According to the release, the ideal franchisee is driven, a good communicator, and takes pride in helping their community. The initial franchise fee is $65,000 with a total investment of $185,400 to $221,600.
Over its history, Storm Guard has helped countless families restore their homes after storms and solve related problems including roofing, siding, window improvements, painting, emergency tarping and gutter installation.
“The work we do is crucial to the area we serve,” Mr. Lynch said. “The impact of our services has helped countless families across the nation, and we would love to expand to share our services and expertise with Iowa.”
