DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen holds the #3 position among kitchen-and-bath remodelers on the Qualifed Remodeler magazine’s prestigious 2025 TOP 500 list (#53 overall).
Since 1978, the Qualified Remodeler TOP 500 has spotlighted industry leaders, representing $25 billion in sales and 2.2 million jobs in 2025 alone. The kitchen and bath segment—generating $1.05 billion and over 61 percent of remodeling jobs—remains the heart of the industry.
DreamMaker’s ranking was based on installed remodeling dollar volume, years in business, industry association membership, certifications, awards, and community service. As highlighted in Qualified Remodeler, DreamMaker stands out for its specialized expertise in kitchen and bath remodeling, delivering exceptional design-build results. Guided by a Code of Values that emphasizes honesty, transparency, and respect, the company follows a proven, client-centered process that ensures high satisfaction and repeat business.
“Consumers want to engage with experts who know their scope of work in great detail,” said Doug Dwyer, President and CSO of DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen. “Our team’s commitment to excellence, integrity, and client satisfaction drives everything we do. I’m optimistic about our growth into next year as we continue to expand and serve more clients across the country.”
“Based on Qualified Remodeler’s analysis, the TOP 500 firms share common attributes, including strong revenues, a commitment to customer service, insightful sales techniques, and strong customer loyalty,” said Patrick O’Toole, Owner and Editorial Director of Qualified Remodeler. “These attributes helped put the firms on this list and contribute to their success.”
When asked to list the top opportunities within his network of remodelers, Doug and his leadership team listed five areas of opportunity:
Opportunities
DreamMaker’s top opportunity relates to marketing in two ways. First, company leaders are focused on reaching millennials, who are “now ready and eager to remodel their homes,” Dwyer says. “We’re retooling our marketing messaging, brand positioning, and value propositions to speak to this generation. This leads to the second part of the marketing opportunity, which is to encourage their franchisees to hire a part-time or full-time marketing person as an investment for the team.
Staff development is another opportunity. The company is “finding new ways to train staff and develop them professionally from the field and office,” Dwyer says. This leads not only to greater productivity but also to increased engagement and lower turnover.
Technology is a big opportunity. DreamMaker is using new AI tools to solve business problems. Even in these early days of AI—before the expected coming of more intelligent tools—large-language models like ChatGPT and multi-mode bots (language, images, and video) offer kitchen and bath remodelers efficiencies in marketing, sales, communication and design. DreamMaker is also using AI for ‘time studies’ to expose process inefficiencies.
Another opportunity: specialization and expertise are more important to consumers than ever. DreamMaker says it’s honing its client process to bring all their kitchen-and-bath expertise to bear for clients and prospects. “Consumers want to engage with experts who know their scope of work in great detail,” Dwyer says. “For example, they’re seeking remodelers who are authorities in kitchens and bathrooms who are up to date with the latest product and design trends.”
Despite the rise of digital shopping and digital mood boards for consumers, the DreamMaker team says brick-and-mortar showrooms are a big opportunity. “Consumers want to visit showrooms and design centers to see complete vignettes of kitchens and bathrooms,” Dwyer says, citing statistics the link bigger projects with showrooms that are up to date.
