Local Entrepreneurs Bring Fast-Growing Koala Insulation to Northwest Houston

• April 5, 2023

HOUSTON– Lauren and Ben Golden have plans to change how Northwest Houston goes about home improvement.

The dynamic duo has announced the opening of Koala Insulation in the Northwest Houston market. Set to open in the fall, Koala Insulation of Northwest Houston will provide property owners with the full-range of insulation options including spray foam, blown-in and blanket (batt) insulation in neighborhoods like Willowbrook, Jersey Village, Spring Branch, Cypress, Fairbanks, Copperfield Place and Cinco Ranch.

Launching Koala Insulation was a clear choice for the Goldens. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, Koala Insulation will fill a need in Northwest Houston as development surges amid breakthrough population growth.

“Effective insulation is one of the only home improvement processes out there that actually saves people money through reduced energy costs—and it makes homes more comfortable, too,” said Ben, who is opening the business alongside his wife, Lauren. “Koala Insulation prides itself on how we educate clients so they can confidently make decisions on an otherwise opaque home improvement process.”

Lauren currently serves as a business consultant assisting companies through benefits transitions, selections, and helping them create benefits strategies for globally dispersed teams. Ben spent his childhood working in his family’s construction business, and then launched a career in the software industry. With Ben’s construction background and the duo’s combined professional business experience from sales through operations and customer retention, the Goldens will bring an immense amount of skill and knowledge to the new Koala Insulation business.

“Earlier this year, we launched an aggressive growth strategy to disrupt the fragmented insulation industry and it’s great to see our plan happening so quickly with talented professionals,” said Scott Marr, founder and CEO of Koala Insulation. “Lauren and Ben’s proven business expertise, passion for helping the community and desire for growth will help us establish the Koala Insulation brand in Northwest Houston.”

Insulated from today’s market shifts, Koala Insulation’s franchise opportunity requires low-overhead while offering quick ramp-up time. As a mobile concept with no leases required, entrepreneurs are offered a low-barrier opportunity to break into business-ownership in the fast-growing, $52-billion recession-resistant insulation industry. The brand is equipped with a thorough franchise support structure, complete with training, operations, marketing, lead generation and technology systems for its franchisees.

Koala Insulation is seeking experienced professionals to grow its brand through franchising. The Koala Insulation business model has been built to attract individuals or teams with experience in sales, marketing and managing high-performing teams.

With franchisees currently operating in Atlanta, Daytona Beach, Fla. and Orlando, Fla., Koala Insulation plans to add 200 franchise licenses in the next 12 months. The Golden’s location will be the fast-growing brand’s third location in the Houston area.
