HomeTeam Inspection Service vs HouseMaster
Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.
Before you compare
- Both sets of figures come from 2026 FDDs.
- HomeTeam Inspection Service discloses more than one business format, so the investment range spans formats; the full report breaks them out.
- Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (HomeTeam Inspection Service: 24, HouseMaster: 6). Different groups are not directly comparable.
