Helping remodeling franchise owners achieve higher margins

The home improvement industry is a competitive market, and remodelers need ways to stand out with clients without squeezing their margins too tightly.

With a DreamMaker franchise, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. We have a number of benefits to help you increase your margins while providing higher-quality service to clients:

Transform your hobby into a viable business opportunity
Work for yourself
Set your earning potential
An opportunity to change lives
Grow a business that can help set up your retirement
Vendor relationships
Financial and pricing systems
Group buying power
Marketing tools
Business coaching and fellowship to help you improve all aspects of your business
Sales training that helps you maintain healthy margins by educating customers that “lowest price” doesn’t equal “best value”

Our franchisees and their teams have put those benefits to use and fueled tremendous growth, with average annual sales increasing more than 206% since 2011. That’s almost 2x the growth of the industry in that same time.

Who makes a great DreamMaker franchisee?

We look for seven qualities in potential DreamMaker franchise owners. These are Drive, Heart, Focus, Coachability, Willingness to Follow Systems, Values and Support (at home).

Drive. You must be motivated to succeed.
Heart. We seek people who prioritize people first and profits second and understand that you need both to succeed.
Focus. It’s important to set goals and use benchmarks to succeed.
Coachability. Entrepreneurship is key to success, but at the same time, it’s important to step back, absorb and implement the lessons DreamMaker already has learned.
Smart and Willingness to follow systems. DreamMaker’s systems have been honed for decades to help you achieve. There is no need to reinvent the wheel — it only delays success.
Values. We look for people who are attracted to our Code of Values™ because it matches their own values.
Support at home. We have learned you need support at home to be successful in business.

LEADERS IN THE REMODELING INDUSTRY

DreamMaker is a leader within the remodeling industry and is actively involved in the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).

Over the past three years, 13 of our franchises have received Guildmaster awards from GuildQuality, an independent customer satisfaction surveying company focused on the remodeling, homebuilding and home improvement industries.

Opening a franchise business in the kitchen and bath makeover industry has shown to be very lucrative over the last 10 years or so. Since 2011, franchisee average unit store sales have improved by 196%. In comparison, the overall remodeling industry growth during that same time period was just 114%, according to the LIRA home remodeling statistics from the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies. In 2024, DreamMaker's average gross sales reached $1,467,192 for franchises open the entire calendar year, according to our 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

A Rich Heritage in Franchising

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen has a rich heritage in home remodeling franchising. It started out as part of The Dwyer Group (now known as Neighborly), which has decades of experience helping plumbers, electricians, landscapers and others build successful franchise businesses.

In 2003, Doug Dwyer purchased DreamMaker as a separate entity. He retains close family ties to some of the leadership of Neighborly and benefits from the deep franchising history that was established by his father, the late Don Dwyer Sr., a visionary businessman. His father also started the International Franchise Association’s VetFran program, which offers discounts to make franchise ownership more affordable for veterans.

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen Testimonials

This is a great organization with a lot of people, a lot of wisdom, and a lot of years of experience. Everyone here is willing to share what they’ve learned the hard way so you don’t have to learn those the hard way.

Lee Willwerth (Springfield, IL)

I started from having zero construction or remodeling background. I never could have started a remodeling business without having DreamMaker - I wouldn’t have known where to begin.

Brad Jacobs (Wilmington, NC)

You’re coached by your mentor to run a profitable business, but at the same time you’re also inspired to enhance people’s lives.

Glen Borkowski (Orland Park, IL)

We could spend the next 20-30 years perfecting systems to help us run efficiently and lose all the profits by making mistakes along the way - or, we could go ahead and purchase a system that we could begin implementing right away. We just realized it made more sense to not reinvent the wheel.

Eric Anderson (Swainsboro, GA)

DreamMaker has the feel of a family. Every year DreamMaker has a convention, which they call the Reunion, and the fact that they call it that gives a real insight into the mentality of the corporate team, which welcomes you warmly. There’s always a lot to talk about, and everybody has a chance to bond and discuss common issues. DreamMaker owners get to know each other on a personal level at Reunions and training sessions, and when you continue to meet with six of those people twice a year, you develop very good friendships.

Steve Everett (Fredericksburg, VA)

When I was considering DreamMaker, I talked to a lot of their franchisees. Most of them had very similar backgrounds: They had a family business, or their parents had started it, and suddenly they decided to join a franchise. And my question was simple: Why do that? Why give some of your money away? One of the franchises I spoke to, he and his wife had won a number of design awards over the years and I asked them, ‘Why are you doing this?’ They were very forthcoming with information, and what the benefits were. And that was true of everyone I called.

Glen Borkowski (Orland Park, IL)

DreamMaker offers unlimited upside, the ability to be your own boss, the ability to build a company. You could say that of some other franchises, too, but this concept, versus others, offers much more satisfaction—you’re not just making pizzas or sending packages. This is about more than just making money. There is a lot of gratification in seeing the results of your work. It is a business based on biblical principles. You start to see the heart of Doug (Dwyer, DreamMaker president) and see that he is different. For him, it’s not about money, per se. No question, he is a hard negotiator trying to make a profit, but not at the expense of others. He has integrity. The other thing I appreciate is the strength of the other franchisees. You just see really, really good people morally who are doing their best and working to get better, and who are willing to share ideas and help you out. It’s a real family atmosphere. From a business standpoint, if you are willing to plug in, that means that instead of coming up with 10 marketing schemes, I can talk to two or three guys and find out what has worked for them and what they would do differently if they had a chance to start over. That sharing, to me, is the strength of the whole organization.
