FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Furniture Medic Franchise

Furniture Medic is a furniture repair, restoration, and refinishing franchise founded in 1992 and operating under ServiceMaster Brands, one of North America’s largest service franchise networks. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, the brand delivers on-site wood care services to residential, commercial, and disaster restoration clients across the United States and internationally.

The service model covers three distinct customer channels: homeowners seeking cabinet refacing, furniture repair, and antique refinishing; commercial property managers at hotels, restaurants, and offices requiring scheduled wood maintenance; and the disaster restoration segment, where technicians work alongside insurance adjusters and mitigation professionals to restore fire- and water-damaged furniture and cabinetry.

Franchisees can operate as a mobile, home-based business or from a service center, giving owners flexibility on overhead as they scale. National account relationships established at the corporate level connect franchisees with commercial clients that an independent operator would be unlikely to access on their own.

Why buy a Furniture Medic Franchise?

Those who buy a Furniture Medic franchise enter a service category with three built-in revenue channels: recurring commercial maintenance from hotels and property managers, disaster restoration referrals from insurance carriers whose demand runs outside consumer spending cycles, and residential cabinet and furniture work. The national accounts program extends commercial access to clients established at the corporate level.

The home-based, mobile operating option keeps fixed overhead low without requiring a commercial lease. Franchisees who prefer a larger technician-team base can operate from a service center. The franchisor orients its guidance toward building franchise value with an eventual exit in mind, making the model relevant for buyers thinking about long-term transferability.

Furniture Medic – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Furniture Medic provides 173 hours of combined initial training: 111 hours of classroom instruction and 62 hours of on-the-job training, delivered through the brand's Academy program in Memphis, Tennessee, followed by a Post-Academy session. The Success Center team provides ongoing business coaching, marketing assistance, and access to a technical support hotline. Franchisees also participate in a Mentoring Program connecting them with experienced operators in the system. Resale buyers should confirm with Furniture Medic what onboarding the franchisor provides to incoming owners and any technicians hired after a transfer.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Furniture Medic suits operators comfortable in a B2B sales environment and capable of building lasting relationships with commercial clients: property managers, hotel operators, and insurance adjusters. No prior woodworking experience is required; the franchisor provides technical training across its service lines. Backgrounds in commercial property management, contracting, corporate sales, or disaster restoration translate well. Success depends on developing a skilled technician team, managing schedules across multiple client types, and maintaining the referral relationships that drive repeat commercial work.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Furniture Medic has appeared on Entrepreneur magazine's Franchise 500 list for more than 20 consecutive years and has received additional recognition on Entrepreneur's America's Top Global Franchises and Top Military Friendly Franchises lists. The brand sits within the ServiceMaster Brands network, which has long-established credibility across the residential and commercial service franchise sector. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be considered alongside the local reputation of the specific territory, including customer reviews, referral source strength, and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US furniture repair and restoration market is supported by demand across residential, commercial, and insurance channels. Rising replacement costs have made professional restoration a practical alternative to disposal, a trend reinforced by consumer interest in sustainability. The disaster restoration segment is largely insulated from consumer spending cycles, with referrals tied to insurance activity rather than discretionary budgets. Hospitality and property management clients provide recurring maintenance revenue, while aging US housing stock continues to generate cabinetry and wood fixture work.
