Ownership Matters: What It Takes
Ownership Matters: What It Takes
Why Border Magic
First and foremost, it saves time and money.
Owning a Border Magic franchise gives the franchisee multiple options to offer customers their choice of curbing, edging or walkway designs. You can provide everything from cobblestone, flagstone, double brick and more to enhance your client’s property. In addition, the exclusive color palette available to customers will bring a smile and excitement to the most discerning customer, as they work with you to upgrade their property with beautiful Border Magic concrete .edging and walkways.
Border Magic is a simple system with low entry cost and minimal inventory requirements. In addition, the flexibility of our franchise system allows you to transition from your job into business ownership gradually; no need to rent a storefront, grow as your business takes root. You also need minimal employees for Border Magic (2 – 3) and no employees for the Border Magic system which can be one of the biggest headaches for startups today.
The benefit with Border Magic in regards to the industry is our ability to offer custom products. Border Magic provides durable continuous concrete landscape edging, walkways, and decorative stepping stones that have the look and feel of real brick or stone for homeowners and businesses alike. Border Magic can install curbs in new and existing cart paths and parking lots. We use a smaller version of the same machines that extrude continuous lengths of concrete barriers along streets and highways. No waiting for forms to be set up or torn down means that you can call in your asphalt crew sooner during new construction projects thus avoiding costly weather related delays. We use the latest technology in epoxies that ensures the curb will stay in place for years to come. We have many common sizes available including the ability to customize any size and color to appease any architectural specifications.
Border Magic has over 98% customer referral rating as a result of past customers recommending Border Magic to their friends and family. Plus, as a Border Magic franchisee, you will be able to offer your clients a 10-year limited warranty, which covers structural integrity, cracking, fading and peeling. This warranty surpasses others that are provided by similar companies. The warranty program is also a great way to get back in front of your customers for additional revenue such as required reseal maintenance, add on work and more.
