REBUILD is a restoration franchise providing property reconstruction and restoration after water, fire, and storm damage. Franchisees run local operations, managing crews, insurance jobs, and projects.
FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A REBUILD franchise requires a total initial investment of $88K – $162K, including a $40K franchise fee and an ongoing 6.0% royalty[2]. The 2025 FDD on file does not yield a unit-revenue figure we can publish. FranchiseVerdict grade: C (Average), an editorial assessment, not investment advice. Run a live ROI scan →
Limited operating history: franchising since 2025. A system this young has fewer than three years of Item 20 outlet history and rarely enough SBA loans for a charge-off rate, so its grade rests on less evidence than an established system's. Read its Item 20 tables and talk to its first franchisees before relying on the grade. Other new franchisors

Bottom line
- COSTTotal investment $88K – $162K including a $40K franchise fee, 6.0% ongoing royalty.
- RETURNSFPR #1: 2024 historic financial performance of the franchisor's two affiliated company-owned outlets (New Jersey full-year; Fort Myers, FL Jan-Oct 2024 before territory made inactive). Gross Revenues = all revenue from operating the franchise (restoration/reconstruction construction income) net of documented refunds/credits, excluding taxes and tips. NJ outlet: Gross Revenues $1,503,070.17, Net Income $691,297.35 (Adjusted Net Profit as if franchised $563,819 after imputed 6% royalty and local advertising). FL outlet: Gross Revenues $355,642.08, Net Income $85,056.58 (Adjusted Net Profit as if franchised $45,718). avg_gross_sales and avg_net_income are the simple average of the two company outlets; median equals average (n=2). Net Income = Gross Revenue minus Total Expenses (company-store P&L, not franchisor Item 21).
- RISKVerdict C (Average), verdict score 45/100 (higher is better).
- GROWTHFlat: no net change in franchised outlets in the latest year (0 opened, 0 closed) (Item 20).
- DATAItem 19 reports outlet revenue, but not in a form that yields a per-outlet average we can compare across brands. Ask franchisees directly for full unit-level revenue.

vs Cleaning & Maintenance medians
How Rebuild Compares
Category median of published Cleaning & Maintenance brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a REBUILD franchise?
The total investment to open a REBUILD franchise ranges from $88K – $162K, with an initial franchise fee of $40K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do REBUILD franchise owners earn?
Item 19 of the REBUILD FDD discloses outlet figures from $1.5M to $1.5M but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns REBUILD?
REBUILD is franchised by Rebuild Franchise LLC. The FDD names no parent company. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the REBUILD FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the REBUILD FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is REBUILD's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for REBUILD (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many REBUILD franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, REBUILD has 1 total units in the United States.
Is REBUILD a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates REBUILD as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 45 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
Data sourced from public FDD filings and SBA 7(a) FOIA records. Not financial advice.
