Green Home Solutions Earns Four Entrepreneur Recognitions in 2026, Including Top Franchises for Veterans and Best of the Best

Green Home Solutions, a national franchise specializing in indoor air quality and non-toxic remediation, is proud to announce two additional recognitions from Entrepreneur in 2026, earning a place on the publication's Top Franchises for Veterans list and receiving its Best of the Best recognition in the Indoor Air Quality Services category.

These latest honors bring Green Home Solutions' total to four Entrepreneur recognitions in 2026, following its inclusion in the prestigious Franchise 500® ranking and its designation as the No. 1 franchise in the Indoor Air Quality Services category.

Together, these recognitions highlight the brand's continued growth, franchise opportunity, and commitment to providing science-backed indoor air quality solutions to homeowners and businesses nationwide.

Green Home Solutions is especially proud to be recognized among Entrepreneur's Top Franchises for Veterans, reflecting the brand's commitment to helping military veterans pursue opportunities in business ownership.

According to the International Franchise Association (IFA), 14% of franchises nationwide are veteran-owned, highlighting the important role military veterans play in the franchise industry.

As a proud member of VetFran, an initiative of the IFA, Green Home Solutions offers qualified veterans a 20% discount on the initial franchise fee, helping make the transition from military service to entrepreneurship more accessible.

Military veterans often bring valuable leadership experience, discipline, adaptability, and a strong sense of purpose to franchise ownership. These qualities can translate well into operating a service-based business, where building teams, establishing processes, and delivering consistent customer experiences are essential.

For Brian Preuss, owner of Green Home Solutions of Mount Airy, franchise ownership offered an opportunity to continue leading and serving others after a 22-year career in the U.S. Army.

"When I retired from the Army after 22 years, I knew I wasn't looking to simply retire—I wanted to build something. I also wanted whatever I did next to have a purpose beyond just making money," said Preuss, a retired Army Sergeant Major. "Green Home Solutions appealed to me because we're solving real problems for people."

Preuss credits much of his approach to business ownership to the leadership principles he developed throughout his military career, particularly the importance of building teams, developing leaders, establishing standards, and creating accountability.

"The military also teaches you that plans rarely survive exactly as written. You have to understand the mission, assess what's happening around you, make decisions with the information you have, and keep moving forward. Small-business ownership requires that same adaptability," Preuss added.

His experience reflects the opportunity franchise ownership can provide for veterans seeking to apply their military experience to a new professional chapter while making a meaningful impact in their communities.

In addition to its recognition for veteran franchise opportunities, Green Home Solutions was named among Entrepreneur's 2026 Best of the Best in the Indoor Air Quality Services category.

Earlier this year, the brand also earned a place on Entrepreneur's annual Franchise 500® list and secured the No. 1 ranking in its category.

These recognitions underscore Green Home Solutions' position in the indoor air quality industry and its continued commitment to delivering specialized services backed by science.

With a growing national franchise network, Green Home Solutions provides mold inspection and remediation, indoor air quality testing, crawl space encapsulation, odor removal, indoor disinfection, and additional services designed to address indoor environmental concerns.

Through its franchise model, the company provides owners with training, operational guidance, marketing resources, and ongoing support to help them establish and grow their businesses while serving their local communities.

"Receiving four recognitions from Entrepreneur in a single year is an exciting milestone for Green Home Solutions," said Jeff Panella, President and CEO of Green Home Solutions. "We're especially proud to be recognized as a franchise opportunity for veterans. The leadership, dedication, and service-oriented mindset that veterans bring to our network align closely with our mission and values. These honors reflect the hard work of our franchise owners and the strength of the brand we're continuing to build together."

As Green Home Solutions continues expanding into new markets, the company remains focused on supporting franchise owners from a variety of professional backgrounds, including veterans transitioning into civilian careers.

For Preuss, the opportunity to build a business with purpose remains one of the most rewarding aspects of franchise ownership.

"Choose something you can believe in," Preuss advised fellow veterans considering entrepreneurship. "For me, it was important to build an organization that provides opportunities for our employees while doing work that genuinely helps the families and businesses we serve."
