When you become a Roof Eraser franchisee, together we will develop a successful business for you with rewarding financial results, as this service is highly needed in most areas of the U.S., with particular emphasis in the Southeast and areas of moderate to high levels of humidity.

The Process
1 Pre-qualification
The initial step in awarding a franchise is to pre-qualify the prospective owner. An Application and a Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”) will need to be executed prior to discussing the franchise opportunity.
2 Program Review
Upon tentative approval of a prospective owner, an interview will be conducted with the Roof Eraser owners to further address mutual match of qualifications, interests, and expectations. Emphasis will be on business and industry experience, with the focus on the prospective owner’s ability to build a successful business.
A thorough review of the Franchise Disclosure Document (“FDD”) will be made between the Roof Eraser owners and the prospect to clarify its content and address questions.
4 Franchisee Validation
The prospective owner will have a minimum of 14 days to review the FDD and perform any additional inquiries to further determine their interest to invest in the franchise.
5 Discovery Day
A prospective owner will spend one day at the Roof Eraser corporate office to meet the owners, address additional questions, and mutually determine the approval of the franchise/franchisee.
6 Awarding the Franchise
The franchise will be awarded to the prospective owner based upon mutual agreement as determined in the previous steps. The closing may be executed at Discovery Day or a mutually agreed-upon date shortly thereafter. The franchise will be officially awarded upon signing of the Franchise Agreement and payment of the Franchise Fee (either by wire transfer or certified bank check, if applicable).
FAQ’s
Why do I need to invest in your franchise versus providing the services myself?
Roof Eraser has a proven cleaning method that is effective, efficient, and profitable. You will be handed a turnkey operation that provides the technique, the training, the marketing, the knowledge of other services, and the access to recession-proof industry secrets.
What knowledge and experience does a prospective Roof Eraser franchisee need?
A prospective franchisee should possess prior business experience and knowledge, which will help them coordinate and run a successful franchise. Experience and skills in management, marketing, sales, supervision, organization, planning, and customer service will be most beneficial to a franchisee.
Do I need to get on a roof to perform the services?
First of all, we strongly encourage our franchisees to work ON the business, not IN the business.
A large portion of the roof cleaning jobs can be performed without getting on the roof, as they can be cleaned from the ladder. During our corporate training, we cover safety features and cleaning methods.
Why would I want to clean roofs for a living?
Very few homeowners are willing to get on a roof. Without that willingness, the homeowner is watching their roof deteriorate and thus losing valuable dollars. You will want to clean roofs as there is money on that roof – for both you and the homeowner.
How much must I invest to start a franchise?
Will the corporate office provide ongoing support for my business?
Yes! The success of the corporate office is dependent upon the success of its franchisees. We will continually assist you with marketing, sales, operations, management, finances – anything that will help you be successful.
Does the service apply to residential customers only?
No! The roof cleaning services are available for residential AND commercial roofs.
What services other than roof cleaning will I make available to customers?
Franchisees will be trained on identifying and providing other services such as roof repairs, power washing other areas of a home, and creating referral fee income opportunities.
Will Roof Eraser provide any finance and accounting support?
Yes! Roof Eraser will assist with financing options, if necessary. All franchisees will use the services of an affiliate who will assist you to set up the business, establish an accounting system, provide training on the accounting software, handle the bookkeeping, process payroll, assist to minimize taxes, and prepare the business year-end tax return.
What long-term benefits does owning a Roof Eraser franchise provide me?
Owning a Roof Eraser franchise will provide the owner an ongoing financial reward, which may include the establishment of a retirement fund. In addition, a franchisee will be building a business that may be subsequently sold for a premium in comparison to the original investment.
