Description

What is Renovation Sells?

Renovation Sells is the premier, pre-sale home renovation franchise company in America today! We plan, design, & construct affordable cosmetic renovations for people selling their homes, that result is faster sales at higher prices, making them INSTAGRAM READY for today’s discriminating home buyers. We focus the business on quick cosmetic fixes: painting kitchen cabinets, updating countertops, updating lighting, and painting walls, are just some of the cosmetic work we do to transform homes. But what’s unique about Renovation Sells, and what separates us from the average remodeler is, we do not do structural work AND our customer is the real estate agent NOT the home seller, and we design the space to fit the needs of the buyer(s) not the seller.

  • Integrated design construction and financing services
  • Realtor partnership focused business model
  • Presale renovation market specialization
  • Locally owned community expertise approach
  • Streamlined few-week project completion
  • Lower barrier investment compared to subsector average

Location Analysis

Where Renovation Sells wins

Renovation Sells demonstrates strong market penetration across multiple states, with widespread coverage strategically positioned in key markets. The franchise shows notable concentration in the Midwest, with a strong presence in Michigan, followed by significant market penetration in Florida and Illinois. The exceptional 4.97 average rating across numerous customer reviews indicates superior service delivery and strong market acceptance, particularly in established regions.

The franchise's geographic distribution suggests a deliberate expansion strategy focusing on populous states with robust real estate markets and high renovation demand. The substantial presence in Michigan indicates successful market penetration in areas with diverse housing stock and steady renovation needs. The emerging presence in some northeastern states represents significant expansion opportunities, particularly in markets with aging housing inventory.

Ideal locations for new franchises typically include metropolitan areas with high homeownership rates, median home values above $300,000, and active real estate markets. Success factors include proximity to affluent suburbs, areas with aging housing stock (15+ years), and markets with high pre-sale renovation demand. Potential franchisees should target regions with strong real estate appreciation and high renovation ROI, particularly in underserved markets within the existing geographic footprint.

Renovation Sells requires an initial investment of $79,005 to $171,484, positioning it well below the sub-sector average range of $132,330 to $156,453, making it an accessible entry point for emerging entrepreneurs in home improvement. The franchise demonstrates strong financial performance with total system gross revenue of $2.34 million and gross profit of $520,029 across 93 active units, indicating healthy profit margins of approximately 22%. However, the per-unit revenue average of roughly $25,162 falls below the sub-sector average of $899,503, suggesting varying unit performance levels. Established in 2018, the system shows solid early-stage growth in the robust home improvement market driven by rising home values and increased renovation spending. The franchise's specialized presale renovation model targeting real estate partnerships creates differentiation within the crowded remodeling space, with website testimonials showing projects completed in 3-5 weeks. The business model integrates design, construction, and financing services through partnerships, streamlining the customer experience. Ideal investors need strong relationship-building skills for realtor partnerships and sufficient working capital. The reliance on real estate market activity creates cyclical risk considerations, while the specialized focus may limit market scope compared to general remodeling franchises.
