Success Stories

From Corporate America to DreamMaker Ownership

Are you tired of working for someone else? Do you think you’d be more fulfilled working for yourself? Do you want to control your own destiny? If you answered yes, you aren’t alone.

Many of our franchisees transitioned from corporate America to become DreamMaker franchise owners. They’ve brought their leadership, management, and many other transferable skills to run an efficient remodeling franchise. Engineers, Executives, Project Managers, Chemists, Designers, Marketing and Sales Professionals, and even Veterans have been able to implement DreamMaker’s proven processes and systems to work for themselves and build their own business.

“There are things that I’ve been able to do that if I worked for anyone else I would not be able to do, and I wouldn’t give that up for anything.”
– Deb Trampe, DreamMaker of Springfield

From Existing Remodeler to a Remodeler with Strong Margins

Do you currently own a remodeling business and ever asked yourself “I wonder if there’s a better way”? There is. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen has figured out the countless small details of running an interior remodeling business. We have processes and systems for marketing/lead generation, sales, design/selection, estimating, reliable product vendors, production management, and more. For many remodelers a DreamMaker franchise is exactly what they need to take their business to the next level with strong margins:

  • DreamMaker leverages its national vendor relationships to buy materials for much less than most independent contractors.
  • DreamMaker offers access to an easy-to-use estimating system that helps franchise owners price jobs accurately, so they don’t incur unexpected costs while serving customers.
  • DreamMaker’s sales system emphasizes quality and custom design. While price is a factor, it’s not the only factor. We are not the cheapest remodeling company in the marketplace, and we’re also not the most expensive. We aim for customers who are willing to pay for great service, as well as a remodeling company that will handle all aspects of the job with minimal disruption to the customer’s life.

For each job, we encourage our franchisees to look at the profit margins earned on the materials, the labor, and the project management. By monitoring each facet of the business, franchisees can quickly spot issues that may be eating into profit margins. Whatever issues may emerge, you’ll have the data you need to guide your business properly, and the coaching and support to help you find solutions.

The Baxter’s DreamMaker Story –
Start-Up

The Baxter’s DreamMaker Story – Start-Up

Mary, Scott, and Courtney Baxter sat down with us in their Design Center to talk about their experience as a start-up DreamMaker Franchise. From what attracted them to the franchise opportunity, to the support they receive, they discuss how DreamMaker has allowed them to pursue their passion and enhance the homes and lives of others.

“One of the things I loved about DreamMaker was the idea of having a brick-and-mortar Design Center. When people walk through the door into the Design Center, their imagination starts.”
– Scott Baxter, DreamMaker of Northwest Arkansas

The Anderson’s DreamMaker Story – Conversion

There were numerous things that drew Eric, Leesa, and David Anderson to DreamMaker. They were existing remodelers, but they realized they needed systems to improve their business, and they were also attracted to DreamMaker’s specialization in kitchens and bathrooms. The Code of Values™ were a big feature to them as well. Learn how Eric gained the ability to work ‘on’ the business, instead of just ‘in’ the business with DreamMaker.

“Follow the systems, go outside your comfort zone, and the systems do work.”
– Eric Anderson, DreamMaker of East Georgia

Because Quality of Life Matters

While numbers and results are important, the DreamMaker franchise community strives for a balance between Strong Margins AND Quality of Life. While you’ll likely put in long hours when starting, our franchisees are ultimately able to have a healthy work-life balance. Many are able to take significant time off from their businesses for personal vacations and spend evenings and weekends with their families.

“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, DreamMaker of Ogden
