Buy a DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen Franchise

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen is a full-service home remodeling franchise specializing in kitchen and bathroom renovations, combining design, project management and skilled installation. The brand traces its roots to a 1970s bathroom-resurfacing business and adopted the DreamMaker name in 1999 as it moved into full kitchen and bath remodeling. It is privately owned and has been led by president Doug Dwyer since 2003, with headquarters in Waco, Texas.

A defining feature of the model is the Design Center: franchisees run a brick-and-mortar showroom in a visible retail location where the first client meeting takes place, letting homeowners explore displays, styles and materials before committing. Revenue is project-based and higher-ticket, and the business is built around active owner-operators rather than a home-based or semi-absentee structure, operating under a faith-based Code of Values that shapes the brand’s culture.

DreamMaker has an established network of around 47 locations across 24 states, serving homeowners on projects ranging from focused upgrades to full kitchen and bath remodels, with access to a defined operating system, vendor relationships and a peer network of fellow owners.

Why buy a DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen Franchise?

Buying a DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen franchise offers entry into a higher-ticket, project-based remodeling business within a home-improvement category that has stayed resilient across economic cycles. The Design Center showroom model gives owners a professional, customer-facing presence that helps win higher-value kitchen and bath projects, and the brand reports average unit sales growth of about 215% since 2011.

Owners join an established system with vendor and buying-power relationships, structured operating processes and an active peer network of fellow franchisees, alongside a faith-based culture that many owners cite as central to the brand. For an incoming buyer, this support infrastructure can shorten the path to running a complex business that would be hard to build independently.

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    DreamMaker's Transformational Process provides structured onboarding for incoming owners through phased training covering marketing, financial management, sales and the technology stack, with virtual sessions and a "Week in the Life" visit to an operating location. Ongoing support continues through a dedicated franchise coach, mentor visits, Next Level peer groups with fellow franchisees, twice-yearly training events, and monthly roundtables and webinars. Resale buyers should confirm with DreamMaker what onboarding and coaching transfer to a new owner and what technology and system access carries over.

  2. Ideal Owner

    DreamMaker suits hands-on, active owner-operators rather than passive investors, particularly those who enjoy design, customer relationships and managing a team of designers, project staff and contractors. Construction experience is not required, but an interest in home improvement and strong leadership, project-management and organizational skills matter. The model rewards coachable owners willing to follow established systems and run a customer-facing Design Center, and it tends to fit community-minded people comfortable with the brand's faith-based, values-driven culture.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    DreamMaker has been ranked #1 in Franchise Business Review's Home Services category (2021 and 2024) and has earned FBR Top Franchises recognition for franchisee satisfaction for several consecutive years, including 2026 culture honors. It has won multiple GuildQuality GuildMaster Awards for service (most recently 2026), repeated Remodeling Big 50 listings, and ranked #3 among kitchen-and-bath remodelers in Qualified Remodeler's 2025 Top 500, with a 97% GuildQuality customer recommendation rate. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the specific unit's local reviews and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The U.S. residential remodeling market has run above $600 billion in recent years, with Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies projecting roughly $608 billion in 2025. Kitchen and bath work is a major driver, and the National Kitchen & Bath Association projects about $235 billion in kitchen and bath spending in 2025. Demand is supported by aging housing stock, changing lifestyles and homeowners investing in existing homes, especially in established markets. For resale buyers, local housing age, home values and competition shape how much of this demand a territory can capture.
