Screenmobile is a company that installs window and door screens. Its staff measures the space to be screened, builds a custom screen to that size, and installs it. This includes both interior and exterior screens, with variations such as motorized screens.
Hot summers in many regions of the US, combined with increasingly extreme temperatures thanks to climate change, mean that solar screens to reduce heat and glare are an important part of the company’s work, and likely to grow in popularity over the coming years. Other related products that Screenmobile franchises supply and install include patio shades, security shutters, pool enclosures, and pet screens, including custom “catios” that let cats benefit from fresh air while keeping them safely enclosed.
The tools, materials, and equipment for the screens are kept and transported in a company branded truck and trailer, while the running of the business itself is home-based, meaning that this is a suitable franchise for someone interested in joining the home improvement sector but who doesn’t want the hassle and expense of renting store or workshop space.

- In this Item, Screenmobile presents certain historical information for Screenmobile Franchised Businesses for the 2024 fiscal year.
- As of December 31, 2024, Screenmobile had 97 franchisees operating in 134 Territories. Parts 1 through 3 present information on 128 Territories that were in operation for the entire 2024 fiscal year.
- Excluded from these tables are 16 Territories that ceased operating during the 2024 fiscal year, 5 Territories that opened during the 2024 fiscal year, and 1 Territory that did not report Gross Revenue for the full 12 months of 2024.
- The Territories that were in operation prior to February 8, 2023, are Territories that pre-date AB Inc.’s acquisition of the Screenmobile brand and franchise system. These Territories range from 50,000 Households to 275,000 Households, which means some have more Households and some have fewer Households than a typical territory as described in Item 12 of the disclosure document (i.e., one consisting of a population of approximately 150,000 Households and defined using postal zip codes).
