Surface Experts
Surface Experts repairs small damage on interior hard surfaces instead of replacing them. Countertops, floors, cabinets, bathtubs, showers, sinks, and appliances. A replacement costs thousands of dollars and takes weeks. A Surface Experts repair takes under an hour in most cases and costs a fraction of that, using a patented 5-step process that matches color, texture, and sheen. The business is 99% B2B. The buyers are property managers, maintenance managers, and facilities managers at multi-family housing, hotels, construction and restoration companies, real estate offices, and moving companies. Those buyers have the same problem every month, which is what makes the revenue repeat. The owner never performs repairs. The owner recruits and leads a team of techs and builds accounts. It is mobile, can start from a home office, and techs work out of cars rather than vans. Franchise award to open unit runs 6 to 8 weeks. Surface Experts crossed 100 franchises in 2026 with territories still available across the country. Headquarters in Spokane runs a support center that answers inbound calls, schedules and routes techs, and handles bookkeeping and AR, so owners sell and lead instead of dispatching.
