Dot.Com Mom Looks Homeward with Hammer in Hand

WASHINGTON, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Many entrepreneurs leave the Internet to try their hand at something other than software, and for an enterprising young Washington DC mother, the answer is hardware.

Natalie Dhakhwa, who spent nine years with a Web-based start-up in Maryland, just launched a specialty business offering custom interior trim carpentry for homeowners in the Washington, DC. Metro area. It is the second Just Moulding franchise to open in the area in recent months.

"This is one home remodeling - http://www.justmoulding.com/home-remodeling/ - area that is taking off," says Dhakhwa, 35. "Custom moulding is less expensive than new carpet or paint, but adds more to a home's value. We're very similar to Next Day Blinds -- which carved out a new market in an old industry. We're going to do the same here."

Just Moulding offers custom design and installation of interior architectural mouldings such as crown, chair rail and wainscoting in homes and commercial spaces, including offices and hotels. The concept is based on a special proprietary system for taking precise measurements. With Just Moulding's unique methods, the majority of cutting and fabrication happens in their state-of-art workshops -- they never cut inside a customer's home, minimizing the dust and time involved in the installation.

After exploring several business opportunities, Dhakhwa selected Just Moulding because of its innovative concept and niche in the home services sector. Visit http://www.justmoulding.com/business-opportunity/ for more information on franchise opportunities.

"When I was remodeling my own home, I had trouble finding a contractor to complete a small moulding project that was beyond the ability of my painter. That was when I realized there was a need for this kind of service," she says.

According to Just Moulding CEO Mark Rubin, more homeowners are choosing to invest in their current home than move due to the current economic climate.

"Consumers are predicted to continue spending money on their homes, and our concept focuses on existing homes, which may be a little older and in need of renovations or some additional personality," he explains. "Plus, the average moulding job is in a much lower price range compared to a more extensive remodeling like an addition or kitchen renovation."
