Founded in 1980 by a father and his two sons in Glendora, California, Screenmobile has evolved into one of the premier mobile screen service franchises in the United States.
The company specializes in repairing, replacing, and installing window and door screens, as well as designing porch and patio enclosures, offering a comprehensive selection of screen solutions.
Now headquartered in Thousand Palms, California, Screenmobile started franchising in 1984. The brand’s steady expansion and unwavering focus on quality have earned it significant accolades, including being recognized as the #1 Home Repair Franchise by Entrepreneur magazine in 2022.
Screenmobile’s standout feature is its fully mobile service model. Technicians arrive at customers' homes with outfitted mobile units, enabling them to measure, manufacture, and install custom screens on-site—often completing jobs in just one visit.
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.
Screenmobile provides a comprehensive set of training programs to its franchisees to ensure proper setup and successful operation:
Screenmobile provides franchisees with a protected territory as long as they remain in compliance with the terms of their Franchise Agreement. The franchisor agrees not to operate another business under the Screenmobile Marks within the designated Territory or authorize another franchisee to do so.
However, the franchisor retains the right to advertise, recruit employees, and solicit customers within the Territory without it being considered a breach of the territorial protection.
While Screenmobile does offer this territorial protection, it is not considered an exclusive territory. The franchisor also reserves rights to establish businesses offering dissimilar products and services, or to operate similar businesses under different branding within or outside the Territory.
