What data sources does Bumble Roofing use to determine single-family household counts and densities?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand uses data from the U.S. Census or other statistical sources to determine single-family household counts and densities within a territory. The territory size granted to a franchisee is based on demographics and other characteristics, including single-family household density, home values, average income, natural boundaries, competition, and the mix of urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Bumble Roofing grants one license per territory, generally up to 100,000 single-family households. If a territory exceeds this limit, the franchisee must pay an additional fee of $0.25 per household above the 100,000 limit. However, Bumble Roofing retains the right to modify or delete this household limit at its discretion, based on business judgment and factors like geography and demographic shifts.

Prospective franchisees should note that Bumble Roofing has the exclusive right to determine territory boundaries. While franchisees maintain rights to their territory even if household counts change, the franchisor can modify territory sizes when a Successor Franchise Agreement is executed, potentially requiring multiple agreements if the original territory now encompasses more than one protected territory under the current standards. This indicates that the territory is not guaranteed to remain static over the term of the franchise agreement.
