“When I first started looking into potential business opportunities, Helpful Heroes immediately stood out as a handyman business built around trust and dependability,” said Anjanette Zarate, owner of Helpful Heroes of Leander. “Firefighters and EMTs are among the highest trusted professions to enter a home with the skills to help, and I look forward to providing them with the opportunity to earn additional income to help support their families during their off hours. As my team begins offering trustworthy services across Belton, Georgetown, Round Rock, Sun City, Leander, and the surrounding areas, I can’t wait to bring the Helpful Heroes franchise to the central Texas area and build relationships with local homeowners and business owners.”

Since everyone has a to-do list at home, Helpful Heroes is here to help connect homeowners with a local firefighter or EMT for their next home project.
