Authority Brands was born in 2017—but each of our brands has a rich history that goes back much further to a founder with a great idea and the drive to build a strong company.
Authority Brands originally formed around The Cleaning Authority and our first acquisition, Homewatch CareGivers. Soon after, we acquired two outdoor brands, America’s Swimming Pool Company and Mosquito Squad. In spring of 2019, we closed our largest acquisition to date and welcomed three brands: One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and Mister Sparky Electric. In fall of 2020, Authority Brands completed its eighth and ninth acquisitions with Monster Tree Service and STOP Restoration. DoodyCalls joined the family in February 2021. In 2022 we expanded the family with Color World Painting, Woofie’s, and The Junkluggers. In 2023 we acquired DRYmedic, The Junkluggers, and Screenmobile. Our 16th brand, Lawn Squad, debuted in 2023 as a rebrand of the acquired Weed Pro name and system.
Since our founding, we’ve grown by inviting strong brands to join the family, and most of those brands were acquired directly from their founders. In fact, many founders joined the Authority Brands family, staying onboard to keep guiding their creation to new heights, while some founders went on to pursue new dreams. Each acquisition transition is different, and like every part of our business, we pride ourselves on collaborating to chart the best path.
The brands we acquire are special, and the founders and owners are to thank for that. Founders are an integral part of how Authority Brands grows and develops all our brands. The perspective of a founder and that expertise is valuable to our leaders and our business owners. Authority Brands is just as interested in learning from founders as we are in scaling a business quickly to take it from good to great.
We deeply value the work founders and owners have done to make a company strong, and we invite you to make your next step one what works best for you. Whether it’s celebrating your success and moving on to the next project, or staying involved as a leader, you help decide what acquisition looks like.
For years, you’ve shouldered the pressure of building your brand. But there’s a certain level of achievement you just can’t reach alone. We founded Authority Brands to provide a platform that would give growing brands access to the resources of a much larger business. Critical systems like IT, HR, and marketing are handled by best-in-class professionals, so that franchise owners can keep all their focus on providing best-in-class service. With Authority Brands focused on making business efficient and scalable, each brand can level up.
We believe wholeheartedly in our brands—that’s why so many of our leaders are also franchise owners. Our leaders have more than 240 years of franchising experience, and many of them, including our CEO, are proud franchise owners. We live and breathe in this system, and we know what you have on the line.
As the preeminent authority on whole-home care, repair and maintenance services, we’re always looking to add new brands that meet our investment criteria. The brands that really appeal to us all have three things in common:
