Primary Suite Remodels
Layout changes, custom showers, double vanities and the finishes homeowners plan for years. This is where luxury bath projects live, and where a designer-led process earns its price.
FBR Top Franchise, 8 Years Running
Own a Bathroom Remodeling Franchise
DreamMaker is a full-service bathroom remodeling franchise built around a local Design Center. Homeowners plan primary suites, full remodels and accessible baths with your designers, and your project team builds them.
You lead the business, not the job site. Kitchens and interiors run on the same system, so bathrooms are where you start, not where you stop.
Why Bathrooms
Bathroom Demand Is Built Into America's Aging Homes
Kitchen and bath remains one of the largest segments of home spending, and the growth is in remodeling, not new construction. As original bathrooms in older homes wear out, leaks, failing tile and dated layouts turn into projects. More of those homeowners are hiring professionals instead of doing it themselves.

Know Your Options
How Bathroom Remodeling Franchise Models Differ
Most bath franchises fall into one of three models. The right one depends on the size of project you want to sell and the role you want to play.
MODEL 01
Single-Service Specialist
One focused service, like tub and shower replacement or refinishing, run with a small crew and a service vehicle. Lower startup cost and smaller tickets, with the owner often doing the hands-on work.
MODEL 02
Showroom or Retail Partner
Product-driven bath replacements sold through a showroom or retail partnerships. Fast installs on a defined product line, with limited room for custom design.
The DreamMaker Model
MODEL 03
Full-Service Design Center
Custom bath, kitchen and interior remodels designed with homeowners in a local Design Center. Larger projects, a team of designers and project managers, and an owner who leads the business.
Multiple Revenue Streams
A Full-Service Bathroom Renovation Business
Bathroom projects at every price point, from tub-to-shower conversions to luxury primary suites, plus kitchen and interior remodeling from the same Design Center.
Full Bathroom Remodels
Hall baths, guest baths and powder rooms taken down to the studs and rebuilt, with design, selections and scheduling handled by your team.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
One of the most requested bath projects, and often the first job that brings a homeowner into your Design Center.
Aging-in-Place Baths
Curbless showers, grab bars, wider doorways and comfort-height fixtures for homeowners who plan to stay in their homes.
Kitchens and Interiors
Clients who trust you with a bathroom come back for the kitchen. Kitchen and interior remodeling are built into the franchise, giving you a second revenue line from day one.
You Lead the Business
Designers, project managers and lead carpenters run the projects. You run the business: sales, people, numbers and your place in the community.

Who It's For
Different Backgrounds. The Same Mindset.
DreamMaker owners arrive from corporate careers, the remodeling trades and the military. What sets them apart isn't where they started, it's how they lead.
- Career professionals who have managed people, budgets and competing priorities
- Remodelers and tradespeople ready to move from doing the work to leading the business
- Veterans who have led teams under pressure and are looking for their next mission
- Coachable owners who follow a proven system and learn without ego
- People who want their work to be about more than profit, with a heart for serving others
We could spend the next 20-30 years perfecting systems to help us run efficiently and lose all the profits by making mistakes along the way - or, we could go ahead and purchase a system that we could begin implementing right away. We just realized it made more sense to not reinvent the wheel.Eric Anderson

FAQ
Bathroom Remodeling Franchise Questions
Straight answers to what candidates ask first.
How much does a bathroom remodeling franchise cost?
It depends on the model. Single-service bath franchises usually cost less to open, while full-service Design Center models cost more and support larger projects. DreamMaker's estimated initial investment is $329,705 to $654,860, with at least $200,000 in liquid capital and a $500,000 net worth. Compare costs across bath franchises
Do I need remodeling or construction experience?
No. DreamMaker owners lead the business while designers, project managers and carpenters handle the projects. Structured training and ongoing coaching cover estimating, sales, operations and hiring. Experienced remodelers can also convert an existing business.
Is it bathrooms only, or kitchens too?
Both. Bathrooms are often the first project a homeowner brings you, and kitchen and interior remodeling are part of the same franchise, so you can serve the whole home from one Design Center.
How long does it take to open?
The typical timeline from signing to opening is 8 to 10 months, covering training, Design Center setup and hiring your first team.
