Is A Home Remodeling Franchise
The Right Business For You?
To put it simply, if you lack motivation, don’t think about franchising. You will need self-motivation to stay afloat when the going gets tough. Don’t make the mistake of making money your sole motivator — investing in a franchise brand does not guarantee immediate financial success. Success requires a huge amount of hard work, patience, and discipline. Also, your work ethic has to be strong and top-notch. Be ready to put in extra hours, and have it at the back of your mind that the first few years might be tough financially. Remember that new businesses take time to establish solid footings.
If you enjoy being the boss and being in charge of the daily operations of a business, go for it. Be sure you are not the type that would rather be told what to do than call the shots. There is nothing wrong with that type of person, but that type of personality cannot successfully run a home improvement franchise. When you invest in a franchise brand, you become the captain of the ship. That means you are in complete charge and you call the shots. You have to be able to work well independently, and also be able to manage people. Being the boss also means leading by example. Be ready to take on any and all responsibilities. That includes working long hours, doing non-managerial or clerical tasks if required, filling in for an absent employee, etc.
However you choose to look at it, any new business venture is a risk. While franchising comes with fewer risks, it still has risks involved, and you should be prepared to take these risks. To mitigate some of the risks, be sure to have a deep understanding of the franchise option before buying. Get familiar with the home improvement business model, challenges, opportunities, etc. Take a close look at some other franchise owners, and speak with them, if possible, about franchising. Do an honest self-assessment of your ability to operate a franchise business. When you do all these, you will get a detailed understanding of all the associated risks, and you will be ready to face them.
As essential as sunlight is in the existence of life, so also is good people skills in the successful running of a home services franchise. Your communication and people skills need to be very strong, as you will be managing the people that make up your team. If those skills are not strong enough, you should have solid plans to develop them. Having management experience is also a plus.
Truth be told, there is no point in investing in a franchise brand you don’t particularly believe in. The brand should be one you are willing to go above and beyond for, and proud to represent. In addition, you may not have solid experience in the industry, however, you should have a decent amount of interest in it. It should be an industry you are comfortable working in for the long term.

Highly recommend. Every step of the way was made easy and smooth.
My experience with [Cabinet IQ] was terrific. They did a great job, and did everything possible to make my cabinet install go smoothly.
They know what they’re doing and try to make the process as simple, straightforward, and stress-free as possible.
From the moment we walked into the showroom, to the final installation, we couldn’t have been happier.
As an investor with multiple projects going at a time, getting the most current cabinets in a timely manner is key., [Cabinet IQ] is always consistent and makes it a one stop shop.
