Kitchen Tune-Up Franchise Information:

"I get an immediate sense of accomplishment. In two to five days we see a transformation of our customers' expectation to customers' satisfaction"

Roy Bertolet, Ormond Beach, FL

So will I be doing the work?

You will be working, but what you will be doing is up to you. If you have always wanted to write your own job description and then change it when you get bored, then you will love a business like ours. The variety of activities will definitely keep you engaged in your business. Some owners try a little of everything while some focus in on what they love the most and spend the majority of their time doing that. Will you be in the field or doing sales? Will you do a little of both? Our model allows flexibility in your day-to-day activities and the training will help you make a plan for your business.

Who is our customer?

There is one thing we know for sure, everyone has a kitchen! We have all heard that kitchen remodeling is one of the best home investments. We also know that people love watching make-over shows and the most popular room to renovate…the kitchen. Put all of these facts together and you get one of the largest customer bases available. But wait, we also have a commercial client program for all of those apartments, restaurants, hotels, churches and more. So really, who isn't our customer? Don't worry, our extensive marketing training will cover all of the basics like where to generate leads, which ads to use, how to work a home show and more. Our franchise system is always modifying with the trends. You can find us on all of the popular social networking sites and we lead the pack with the newest products available to our customers.

What makes us so special?

Not only do we have an approachable, friendly name but we also follow that through with a promise to customers using 8 Trustpoints that set us apart from everyone else in the industry. We know the frustration that most people feel when hiring a contractor or starting a project in their home. We specialize in creating an "experience" for our clients. This experience is so different, so special that customers can't wait to tell people about us. The referrals and repeat business is truly amazing and we know that we have set the bar high! Our original "Tune-up" process was the first of its kind that used patented process and products to rejuvenate wood cabinets and surfaces. We are also the only company to offer 4 separate services for the kitchen/bath at a variety of price points.

Sum it up…why Kitchen Tune-Up?

1. We are unique and are looking for unique people to spread the news
2. High gross profit margins…looking for 30-80%?
3. Low initial investment…we keep it affordable so you can have your dream
4. Flexibility of time…when you start your day and finish it. Vacations..you decide.
5. You are a NAME not a number. We know our owners very well and work to support each one to reach their goals through coaching and training
6. Ready to go…finish training on Friday, start your business Monday morning
7. Make a living while making your customer's dreams come true

"I was tired of looking out the office window on a sunny day knowing that I had to stay in the office until 5pm. The best part of Kitchen Tune-Up is the friendliness of the Home office, the relevance of services offered, the profit margins and the friendliness of the other owners."

Paul Demerjian Stoneham, MA

The housing downturn hasn't hurt the "mini-remodeling" market! We're recession proof. Join Kitchen Tune-Up, the number one ranked kitchen and bath remodeling franchise. You will serve the growing home remodeling industry and enjoy the convenience of working from your home. Retail location business models are also available if you prefer to have a store front. We have been offering franchise opportunities since 1988.

Previous Industry Experience Isn't Required to Join The Thriving Remodeling Industry
We are in the business of simplifying and improving our customers' homes through a network of dedicated, success-oriented franchisees like you located across the U.S. and Canada. You will offer both residential and commercial customers wood restoration and repair, refacing, redooring and custom tub and shower liners and a branded line of custom cabinets. You do not need previous industry experience to join us and you'll be able to create a work schedule that works with your goals and needs.

The Cost-Effective Kitchen Remodeling Services You'll Offer Are in High Demand
Home life revolves around the kitchen; inevitably it is where everyone gathers. Families cook and eat, meet and make decisions in the kitchen. As a result, kitchens get beaten up and worn down with all the traffic and use. And a kitchen that doesn't look up to date or doesn't offer the latest design features makes life less fun for the family and drives down the value of the property. Kitchens sell houses and an out-dated kitchen can be a deal breaker for potential buyers.

A full, traditional kitchen overhaul can be a lengthy, disruptive, expensive investment that in some cases is not necessary when only cosmetic updating is needed. The Kitchen Tune-Up Franchise system provides a cost-effective way to renew surfaces, add features, improve layout and put some real "wow" value back into the family kitchen. Kitchen Tune-Up customers do not have to live through annoying construction when they choose our services.

The Variety of Services You'll Provide Will Attract a Vast Audience
You will offer customers a range of options depending on how much improving their kitchen needs. Wood reconditioning revives existing cabinets and cabinet refacing changes the style and color of cabinets without replacing them. If more upgrades are needed, the Refacing Plus option includes refacing cabinets, installing additional cabinetry, kitchen islands, countertops, hardware and accessories to create added space and functionality.

Benefit From Joining an Experienced Company with a Rock Solid Reputation
You will benefit from a proven wood surface restoration system, backed by years of experience. Kitchen Tune-Up Founder, Dave Haglund began in the cabinet distributorship industry in 1975. In 1986, while visiting a customer's home, he noticed their kitchen could use some improvements, but it wasn't old enough, or worn down enough to warrant a full remodeling. The customer was delighted when he touched up the distressed areas and the idea for Kitchen Tune-Up was born. Haglund spent the next three years perfecting his wood restoration technique and began franchising in 1988.
