Is a franchise brand better than building my own home-service brand?

A franchise buys recognition, systems, and marketing muscle on day one, in exchange for royalties, territory limits, and a brand you never own. An independent brand costs more time and more marketing spend early, but every dollar builds an asset you can eventually sell.

The practical test is what you want in ten years. If you want to run a strong operation and exit to a similar operator, a franchise can work; if you want to expand across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco on your own terms and keep the goodwill, build your own name and invest in owning the local search results.
