I know they'd work well in a densely populated area. I don't think they'd do so well in a rural setting. Just my opinion, based on what I think I know so far. There is a MrHandyman franchise in my area, and their trucks seem to be sitting idle most days when I drive by.
You do need a populated area to make them work, the ones in my area are charging twice the price or more for their work, and in just a few years have claimed the area, driving out the local established guys, that were charging much less.
When they first came on the scene, everyone said they would not last with their higher prices, no one would use them, the opposite has happened, no one uses the established cheaper shops, most of them have just dropped out, since the mass marketing shops came in.
You need to do your homework, and see how your area is working.
