Discover what actual Garage Living Franchisees have to say about their franchise ownership experience
I love the professional support from the head office team. As a first-time franchise owner, it was important to me that Garage Living has been in business long enough to identify best franchise processes and practices to follow. I was also impressed at the openness and willingness of other franchisees within our network to help make my local business a success like their own. As a result, I have become good friends with other Garage Living franchisees too, the support is amazing!
Chris Barrett Franchise Owner – Salt Lake City
After an 18-month search of researching over 20 different franchises in the home services industry, we came across Garage Living. The opportunity to introduce garage flooring and organization, and generate awareness of garage transformations market, was very appealing. The garage is the last place homeowners think of improving, and the opportunity of getting involved in this market got us very excited. The fact that the business was founded in Canada by Canadians was also a major factor in deciding to move forward and make the investment in launching our franchise.
Lance Sparling franchise owner (Garage Living Vancouver)
I wasn’t interested in joining a franchise, but after looking at the Garage Living program, and the quality of people running it, I decided to investigate further. Over the next five months, I did a thorough analysis of costs, fees, marketing materials, and benefits. It became clear to me that I could bring my product line to market much more efficiently and profitably with Garage Living.
In 2014, I joined the Garage Living family, and it truly is a family. My showroom was opened in May of 2015, and things took off. Don’t be fooled. It is a lot of hard work running a franchise but it is incredibly rewarding. I experienced a 40% growth in my first year, and that was with my showroom open for only seven months.
Joining Garage Living is the best thing I could have done for my business and my family. I haven’t regretted it for a second.
Gary DiStefano, franchise owner (Garage Living Jacksonville)
Joining the Garage Living family has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my 29 years of business.
The help and support I have received from corporate and other franchise owners to say the least is amazing. We never could’ve grown this fast without it and in a short time we are already adding on more installation crews and salespeople. Garage interiors are an incredibly untapped market and nobody does it better than Garage Living!
Richard Cunningham, franchise owner (Garage Living Connecticut)
The products that Garage Living carries truly sell themselves. In the last year, we’ve learned that everyone wants an organized garage that can be used as additional space in their home. The customers that have a budget for this type of home improvement are always delighted with the results. It really is an untapped market that we didn’t know existed.
After our first year we exceeded our expectation and can’t imagine doing anything else. There is no greater feeling than making over a client’s garage. We have yet to complete a project where our client isn’t in love with the end result! What could be more rewarding than sell products and service that people can’t get anywhere else?
