FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Screenmobile Franchise

Screenmobile is a mobile screen repair and installation franchise serving residential and commercial customers across the United States. Founded in 1980 as a single truck-and-trailer operation, the brand built its model around bringing custom screen work directly to the customer’s property, measuring, manufacturing, and installing on-site rather than hauling screens back to a workshop.

Franchisees run a home-based business from a branded “mobile workshop” trailer stocked to finish most jobs in one visit. Service lines reach well beyond window and door screens to patio enclosures, motorized and security screens, sun control, and custom work such as pool enclosures, pergolas, and storm systems. Screenmobile is part of Authority Brands, a multi-brand home-services platform whose portfolio includes Mosquito Squad, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and America’s Swimming Pool Company.

The network has grown to roughly 138 units across more than 25 states, run on a territory-based model with no storefront or warehouse overhead. Its long-standing trailer-based, on-site approach remains the core differentiator in a category with limited national competition.

Why buy a Screenmobile Franchise?

For buyers weighing home-services options, the case to buy a Screenmobile franchise rests on a recognized national brand in a niche category with few direct competitors at scale. The home-based mobile model keeps fixed overhead low: there is no retail lease or warehouse, and a fully stocked trailer lets owners complete most work on the first visit, supporting both margins and customer convenience.

Multiple service lines, from routine screen repairs to higher-ticket patio enclosures, motorized screens, and custom outdoor projects, give owners several ways to grow revenue and smooth seasonal demand. Backing from Authority Brands adds the marketing systems, buying power, and operational support of a large home-services franchisor, plus cross-brand resources a standalone operator would not have.

Screenmobile – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New owners begin with Screen School, a 10-day program at Screenmobile's California headquarters that combines 40 hours of classroom instruction with 40 hours of hands-on training at the company's "Screen House" production center, covering screen production, installation, sales, and administration. After opening, a 13-week Fast Start program adds weekly Operations Team calls, a workbook, and support coaches, followed by annual conventions, regional meetings, monthly town halls, 24/7 online modules, and Franchise Business Consultants. Resale buyers should confirm what Screen School onboarding and system access transfers to an incoming owner.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Screenmobile suits a hands-on local operator comfortable with skilled physical work, measuring and fitting custom screens, and managing a mobile route rather than running a storefront. No prior screen or construction experience is required, since training covers the trade, but owners should be customer-focused, organized with scheduling, and willing to handle sales, estimates, and quality control themselves early on. It fits people who want a flexible, owner-operator service business and can build local reputation through reliable on-site work and word-of-mouth.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Screenmobile has ranked on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 for 28 consecutive years, earning a place in Entrepreneur's Franchise Hall of Fame; its most recent placement was #326 in 2026, and it was also ranked #50 among Top Franchises for Less Than $150,000 in 2026. The brand has appeared in the Franchise Times Top 200+ and earned Franchise Gator recognition, and is widely regarded as the national leader in mobile screen repair. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources, and community reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    Screenmobile sits within the US home improvement and repair market, where annual spending has held above $600 billion (Harvard JCHS), supported by an aging housing stock and rising interest in outdoor living, pet- and pest-resistant screening, and sun control. Screen repair is a recurring need driven by weather, wear, and pets, giving the category steady demand alongside larger project work like patio and pool enclosures. Direct national competition is limited, so a unit's strength tends to track local visibility and reputation, which resale buyers should weigh when assessing an existing territory.
