Discover the exact framework Ty McBride used to transform a $300 investment in epoxy into a fast-growing, multi-location restoration business. In this course, you’ll get the tools, systems, and step-by-step blueprint to launch and grow a profitable historic home repair business.
If you want to start a home restoration business, read this carefully.
This is for you if you’re already in the trades and tired of racing to the bottom on pricing.
It’s for you if you’ve got a soft spot for old homes – and want a business that actually means something.
And it’s for you if you’re looking for a service that’s in high demand, with next to zero competition… and margins big enough to matter.
Because here’s the truth most people miss:
Old homes are everywhere.
They need constant repairs.
And most contractors want nothing to do with them.
Too complicated. Too regulated. Too much hassle.
Which is exactly why it’s such a massive opportunity.
Ty McBride figured that out the hard way – restoring a rotted window the city wouldn’t let him replace.
But he pushed through and turned that one job turned into a full-time business.
Then 13 locations.
Then a national brand built on a simple model: repair what others replace.
He didn’t raise money. He didn’t hire a big team.
He just started with a $300 epoxy kit in his garage.
And now, inside The R.E.S.T.O.R.E. Blueprint, he’s handing you the exact system he used to scale it.
You’ll learn how to find the right niche, target the right homeowners, navigate the red tape, and grow – without guessing your way through it.
This is the shortcut Ty wishes he had.
Now it’s yours.
From $300 of epoxy to a nationwide restoration brand…
He grew up on job sites, learning the trades from his dad and grandpa.
But everything changed in 2014 when a city inspector told him he couldn’t replace a rotted window on a historic home.
He had to restore it.
That one rule sent Ty down the rabbit hole – into preservation codes, epoxy systems, and the kind of craftsmanship most contractors run from.
He launched Old Home Rescue with nothing but grit, curiosity, and a garage full of determination.
From there came Wood Window Rescue… an HGTV pilot… and eventually, Preservan.
A fast-growing franchise built around sustainable, scalable, and in-demand home repair.
As Ty puts it:
“We don’t have customers. We have neighbors. And we’re here to preserve what matters – one house at a time.”
In this course, Ty gives you everything you need to follow in his footsteps – whether you’re just getting started or ready to scale.
