High-Ticket Projects
Kitchens and baths carry bigger budgets than most home projects, so each job is a meaningful sale. You build revenue through fewer, larger projects instead of chasing volume.

Strong Margins
Design-driven work supports premium pricing, and DreamMaker's vendor buying power and proven pricing system help protect your margin on every job.
Homes 40+ years old
Built-In Demand
The median U.S. home is now more than 40 years old, and kitchens and baths are where age shows first: worn fixtures, outdated layouts and aging plumbing.
How aging homes drive demandSold on design, not price
A Design Center Advantage
Your brick-and-mortar showroom lets clients touch materials and see their remodel before they sign. That experience builds trust and sets you apart from contractors competing on the lowest bid.
Full-service remodeling
Not a One-Product Franchise
Many bath and kitchen franchises center on a single product, like liners, refacing or cabinets. DreamMaker owners deliver the complete remodel, from design through installation.
Bath, kitchen, then interior
Room to Grow
Bath and kitchen remodeling give you two project pipelines from day one. As your business grows, the model expands into full interior remodeling.

Why DreamMaker
Why People Choose DreamMaker
There are other remodeling franchises. There are even other bath and kitchen franchises. What sets DreamMaker apart is what its own owners say about it. Franchise Business Review (FBR) independently surveys franchisees every year, and DreamMaker has made its Top Franchises list every year since 2019.
That satisfaction is built into the model. Every franchisee gets a dedicated business coach from the day they sign, plus Next Level peer groups, monthly sales, production and marketing roundtables, and proven systems for finance, marketing, sales, production and operations. It's why FBR has named DreamMaker a Top Franchise for Culture every year since 2020.
In 2026, DreamMaker was also named a Top 5 Home Renovation Company in the U.S. by Under the Hard Hat, and DreamMaker owners earned FBR Franchisee Excellence Awards. This isn't a franchise that gets lucky occasionally. It's a system that produces results consistently.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
Hear directly from DreamMaker franchise owners about their experience with the systems, support, culture, and franchise network.

Chuck Leo
DreamMaker of Omaha
“We realized it made more sense to not reinvent the wheel. DreamMaker already had the systems, the processes, and the support. We just had to implement them and get to work building our business.”
Eric Anderson
DreamMaker of East Georgia
“I really enjoy being part of a network that 1) has God as a focus; 2) has a strong franchisee network and opportunities to speak with other business owners with a business like mine; 3) has a great franchise coach network.”
Nate Coombs

Lee Willwerth
DreamMaker of Ann Arbor

Jay Nutting
DreamMaker of Southern Lakes
“I don’t feel like we’re just alone out here, flailing in the wind. Instead, we have a real group of people behind us who genuinely love us and care about us. We feel like we have a family instead of business acquaintances, which means the world to us.”
Shawn Colvin
DreamMaker of Reno
“I started from having zero construction or remodeling background. I never could have started a remodeling business without having DreamMaker. I wouldn’t have known where to begin.”
