Success Stories
From Corporate America to DreamMaker Ownership
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
“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. As Christians, 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
“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
