Why Preservan
Preservan is building the nation’s first specialty wood-rot restoration franchise by revitalizing historic homes, saving homeowners thousands, and carving out a niche where craftsmanship meets modern efficiency.
Instead of replacing windows, doors, and trim, franchise owners restore them using proprietary epoxy systems and tech-enabled workflows. It’s a recession-resilient niche that:
- Serves a massive underserved market
- Avoids the cost and mess of full replacement
- Operates with lean teams and high margins
- Wins with authenticity and craft-driven pride
⚡ If you love the idea of skilled trades, preservation, and local impact, this is a founder-driven brand worth watching.

Founder's Story
“We save the future by preserving the past.” — Ty McBride
Ty McBride grew up in the home-building world — swinging hammers before he could drive and working across every corner of the trades. But his breakthrough came in 2014 while restoring a historic home in Oklahoma City’s Mesta Park.
While painstakingly repairing old wood windows, he uncovered a truth:
Homeowners didn’t need replacements —
they needed craftsmen who could restore and protect what already existed.
That spark led Ty to launch Wood Window Rescue in 2016 with his wife, April — a company driven by preservation values and modern restoration science.
As demand exploded, the mission grew into Preservan — a franchise built to train passionate owners to become preservation leaders in their communities.
Today, Preservan blends a skilled-trades culture with systems, training, and marketing that empower everyday entrepreneurs to enter a highly specialized category with confidence.
