Ace Hardware purchased an existing handyman franchise, formerly known as Handyman Matters, in September of 2019. Once the rebranding was completed, the growth has started for this essential service concept that assists both residential and commercial customers with their handyman needs.
We are a technology-based repair and remodeling company that believes in helping our owners build a foundation of satisfied, lifelong customers who will consistently enlist our services for repair and remodel jobs of all sizes. In addition to regular marketing tactics, Ace Handyman Services franchisees get exclusive opportunities to reach Ace Reward Members from the hardware stores, are advertised on www.AceHardware.com and can advertise in local Ace Hardware stores as well.
