The Franchise That Solves a $40,000 Problem Overnight
What if a single franchise could save homeowners months of chaos, prevent $40,000 kitchen replacements, and completely transform the disaster restoration industry?
In today’s episode of Franchise Unfiltered, Wes sits down with Mike Pearce, Chief Development Officer of Renew Medic®, the first-mover franchise that’s disrupting restoration by solving the most expensive problem in any home disaster: cabinets.
For decades, the industry assumed damaged cabinets had to be demolished and replaced — causing 3–6 months of displacement and skyrocketing insurance costs. Renew Medic® changed everything. With proprietary emergency cabinet removal and rebuild systems, they can restore kitchens in weeks instead of months… and insurance companies love them for it.
Mike shares how Renew Medic® was born out of ServiceMaster, why franchise veterans came out of retirement to build this brand, and why insurers are begging for more franchisees in new markets. If you're looking for a scalable, protected, first-mover opportunity in a massive recession-proof industry, this one is special.
