For over 14 years, this stable, profitable company has built its business around updating existing kitchens through cabinet and wood refinishing paired with new countertops. It operates two complementary divisions: an in-house refinishing crew and a retail countertop showroom, with each division generating business for the other.
Countertops carry the larger share of revenue and bring customers into a retail showroom with 700 to 1,000 stone and quartz samples on display. This division sells a complete replacement rather than a piece of one, from removing the old surface through fabrication, installation, and the sink and faucet, so the customer never coordinates 2 to 4 separate contractors. The refinishing division is the in-house craft engine, restoring and recoloring cabinets, replacing doors and drawers, and refinishing wood floors with proprietary systems that are sandless, virtually odorless, and finish most jobs in 1 to 2 days.
Together the two divisions produce what amount to minor kitchen remodels, from a simple cabinet restoration with a new top up to $30K transformations. A team of 3 cross-trained technicians and 1 showroom employee runs daily work, while fabrication, installation, and plumbing come from an established bench of trade partners, keeping payroll light and capacity flexible. Ownership runs roughly 40 to 50 hours a week and can be held by one working owner or split with a salesperson, and full absentee is not permitted by the franchisor, so this is an owner-operated opportunity. The owner is stepping back to focus on 2 other businesses and will support a full transition.
Highlights include:
- 700+ countertop samples on display in a retail showroom
- Dustfree spray room and booth in a 2,000 sq ft workshop
- Curing technology lets refinished floors be used the same day
- Trade partners handle fabrication, installation, and plumbing
- 3 protected refinishing territories, countertops unrestricted
- Website works as a second showroom, so customers arrive informed
This may be a strong fit for a remodeling or home-services operator adding a showroom and a second revenue line, a hands-on owner with construction or trades experience who wants an established customer base rather than a startup, or a buyer who would rather manage projects and trade partners than carry a large payroll.
