Industry Growth

A Market Built for Long-Term Demand

  • A $228 billion industry: U.S. kitchen and bath revenue, including materials and labor, is projected to hold at that level in 2026.
  • An aging housing stock: The median owner-occupied U.S. home is now 42 years old, which keeps kitchens and baths in steady need of updating.
  • Homeowners aging in place: NKBA expects much of 2026's household growth to come from homeowners over 65, increasing demand for senior-friendly kitchens and baths.
  • Remodeling leads the market: Kitchen and bath repair and remodel spending is forecast to rise 3.5% in 2026, while new construction spending declines.

Remodeling has become a preferred alternative to relocating, as homeowners invest in the homes they already own rather than face today's housing market. That demand is exactly what DreamMaker franchise owners are positioned to capture.

Path 2 · Converting an Existing Business

Already Running a Remodeling Business?

If you're working 60+ hours a week and not seeing the returns to show for it, converting to DreamMaker gives you proven systems without starting over.

Inconsistent systems making it hard to scale marketing, sales, and production together.

Thin margins despite steady project volume and long hours.

Limited vendor leverage compared to national buying relationships.

No peer network of experienced owners to learn from.

The conversion process integrates DreamMaker's proven systems into your current operation — no need to "reinvent the wheel," and you can keep your existing team. DreamMaker provides the training and systems to help your current marketing, sales, and production teams achieve better results and higher margins.
