What Storm Guard does

Storm Guard Franchise Systems, LLC is a Fort Worth, Texas-based franchise company founded in 2003 that delivers full-exterior home services through a network of 34 independently owned and operated franchise locations across 17 states. Following an October 2025 rebrand, the company expanded from its historical roofing focus to a unified suite of exterior offerings covering roofing, gutters, siding, windows, exterior painting, and emergency tarping for both residential and commercial property owners.

The service portfolio is built around roofing as the anchor capability (inspection, repair, replacement, maintenance, damage assessment, and storm-damage support for insurance claims) and extends to adjacent exterior categories. Technical capability is delivered through Haag Certified inspectors, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor status, Fortified Roof certification, CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator training, and on-site diagnostic tools including thermal imaging and moisture meters. Customer-facing technology includes a CRM platform deployed at the franchise level, an SEO-optimized corporate website, a zip-code-based franchise locator, and digital tools for damage documentation supporting insurance adjusters.

Storm Guard's business model is franchisor-led with two interlocking revenue streams. The franchisor captures initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties from franchisees who pay a $200,400-$236,600 initial investment with a $200,000 minimum liquid capital requirement. Franchisees in turn generate retail revenue from per-project professional services priced on a quote basis, supported by free no-obligation inspections, insurance-claim adjudication assistance, and consumer financing arranged through Foundation Finance. The customer base is structurally fragmented (residential homeowners as the primary segment, commercial property owners as a secondary segment), and distribution is entirely via the franchise network with no direct corporate-operated service delivery.
