Whether it’s a ceiling fan from 1991 or a an outdated boob light, homeowners who are desperate to replace their fixtures often struggle to find handymen companies or electricians willing to take on the work. That ends now. Lighting Squad is brightening up the $5 billion handyman industry by specializing in nuisance electrical work that the rest of the industry won’t touch. With low startup costs, exceptional training and support, and unlimited scalability, The Lighting Squad is your chance to own a home-based business that is designed for long-term growth. We realized that there is an unmet category of service business that every single homeowner needs: nuisance electrical work. There is an entire category of DYI or handyman work that is beneath what you would hire a traditional electrician to do and more complex than what most homeowners want to tackle. Talk to the average homeowner and you’ll see that they have a wish list of small, annoying projects that don’t have time to do, can’t find someone to help or simply don’t know who to call. That’s where we come in! Our franchisees deliver fast, professional response to calls and help homeowners go through their list. Have a ceiling fan in a 20′ entryway you are desperate to change? We got you! Have outdated, cheap-looking boob lights you can’t stand? We’ll swap them out. Need help with your RING camera or hanging a TV? We do that and a whole lot more.
