Insulation Commandos is a veteran-founded insulation services franchise based in Clarksville, Tennessee. Founded in 2023, the brand was launched by military veterans aiming to fortify homes and businesses with precision and dedication.
Its headquarters remains in Clarksville, TN, with early leadership presence in Southern California and Austin before expanding nationally.
The franchise began offering franchise opportunities in 2023 and has since grown to over 30 locations across the United States. New franchise units have recently opened in areas like Tampa Bay, Louisville, and Raleigh–Durham. The franchise model was designed for rapid scale and broad market appeal.
Insulation Commandos provides residential and commercial services including insulation installation, insulation removal, air sealing, duct cleaning, soundproofing, and rodent mitigation. It markets itself as a "fortress of comfort," combining energy efficiency with sustainable solutions and military-level craftsmanship.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Insulation Commandos provides mandatory training to ensure that franchisees are fully prepared to operate their businesses in line with brand standards. This training is a core component of the startup process and must be completed before launching operations.
Insulation Commandos grants franchisees a “Designated Territory” in which they are authorized to operate their business. This territory is defined in the Franchise Agreement and is a key part of the franchisee’s setup.
While the territory is assigned for operational purposes, the franchise documents do not indicate a strict exclusivity clause. The franchisor may allow franchisees to operate in multiple territories through a Multi-Territory Addendum, often granting up to three contiguous territories.
However, even with this addendum, exclusivity is not guaranteed beyond the designated zones. Franchisees must operate only within these areas and may not serve customers outside them without explicit permission.
