Brush Masters Franchising

The vendor opportunity at Brush Masters

Brush Masters Franchising operates 5 franchised units in the home services segment, headquartered in New Jersey. The system does not disclose any company-owned locations. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is those 5 franchised locations, all of which are required to use a specific operational platform. The franchisor has not reported year-over-year unit growth in the most recent FDD, so the pipeline for net-new location sales is unclear. The initial franchise term is 10 years, and the royalty rate is 5.0% of gross revenue. Average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the 2025 FDD.

Who controls software purchasing

According to Item 1 of the 2025 FDD, the two named executives are Joseph Ruggia, Chief Executive Officer and Owner, and Jackie Tran, Executive Assistant. In a system of this size, software purchasing authority is concentrated at the top. Vendors should expect that any technology decision—whether a net-new tool or a replacement for an existing system—will be made or heavily influenced by Mr. Ruggia. There is no separate CIO, CTO, or procurement officer on file. The operator footprint shows no additional multi-unit operators mapped in our corpus, meaning all 5 franchisees likely report directly to the HQ team for compliance with technology mandates.

Mandated and current tech stack

Brush Masters mandates Housecall Pro across its franchised locations. Housecall Pro serves as the core operational platform, covering scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, and payment processing for home service businesses. No other mandated or recommended technology systems are named in the FDD. Vendors selling complementary software—such as marketing automation, bookkeeping, or HR tools—should note that any integration with Housecall Pro would be a practical requirement. The absence of additional mandated systems may signal an opportunity to introduce adjacent tools, but the decision will still run through HQ.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The 2025 FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the franchisor’s procurement model—whether it uses designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or an open purchasing framework—is not publicly known. Vendors should clarify this directly during initial conversations. On renewals, Item 17 specifies that franchisees must provide 180 days’ prior written notice, sign the then-current form of Franchise Agreement, execute a general release, pay a renewal fee, and have their owners personally guarantee the new agreement. The renewal term is 10 years. Because the system has only 5 units and no disclosed growth rate, contract windows are sparse and tied to each franchisee’s individual cycle. A vendor’s best entry point is likely at the time a franchisee renews, when the franchisor can mandate or recommend updated technology.

How to read the Brush Masters FDD

The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document for Brush Masters Franchising is filed with state franchise regulators. The embedded PDF viewer below contains the full document. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives), Item 11 (mandated systems), Item 8 (procurement restrictions, if present), and Item 17 (renewal conditions). Because the system is small and privately held—no parent company is on file—the FDD is the single best source for understanding who buys software and under what constraints.
