Buy a New Creations Franchise

New Creations is a mobile surface repair and restoration franchise that fixes cosmetic damage on more than 100 materials, including wood, leather, vinyl, tile, granite, marble, quartz, metal, fiberglass and fabric. Technicians travel to the customer to repair scratches, chips, dents, burns and wear on furniture, building interiors and exteriors, vehicles and household items, restoring surfaces rather than replacing them.

Founded in 1988 by Larry Stevenson and franchising since 1995, the brand runs a home-based, mobile model with protected territories and low fixed overhead. It remains family-led, with Josh Stevenson as president, and operates across the United States and Canada through a network of around 75 locations serving more than 100 cities.

New Creations serves both consumers and a broad base of commercial accounts, including restoration firms, hotels, moving companies, RV dealers, insurers and property managers. Franchisees use proprietary products and repair techniques developed in-house, and the brand reports more than two million completed restorations.

Why buy a New Creations Franchise?

Buying a New Creations franchise offers entry into a recession-resistant repair niche where restoring a surface is consistently cheaper than replacing it, giving the work steady appeal across economic cycles. The brand’s three-plus decades of operation and proprietary repair systems give an incoming owner an established method rather than a concept still being tested.

The home-based, mobile model keeps overhead low without a storefront or large payroll, and protected territories limit local competition between owners. A major strength is the brand’s commercial relationships: New Creations is a preferred vendor for national accounts such as BELFOR, ServiceMaster, major hotel groups, moving companies and RV dealers, which can provide repeat business beyond one-off consumer jobs.

New Creations – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New Creations provides initial training of 102 hours of on-the-job instruction plus 9 hours in the classroom, delivered through a four-week in-house program at corporate headquarters covering its proprietary products and repair techniques. Owners receive ongoing coaching, operational support led by a dedicated Director of Operational Support, marketing and recruitment guidance, and access to an owner "think tank" for shared pricing and troubleshooting. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and system access New Creations provides to incoming owners when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits hands-on, detail-oriented people who enjoy practical, craft-based work and take pride in precise, high-quality results. No repair background is required, since the technical skills are taught, but owners should be comfortable managing their own schedule, building relationships with commercial accounts and local consumers, and either performing repairs themselves or recruiting and overseeing skilled technicians as the territory grows. Strong customer service and self-motivation matter more than prior industry experience.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    New Creations was named a Top 200 Franchise for 2026 by Franchise Business Review, one of several appearances on FBR's lists, and has earned two-time home-based gold-medal recognition for franchisee satisfaction. It has also received Canadian Franchise Association honours, including a 2024 Awards of Excellence Gold and Franchisee's Choice designation, plus recognition for innovation. For resale buyers, this brand-level standing should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, commercial accounts and community reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    New Creations operates in the US furniture and surface repair market, valued at roughly $1.8 billion in 2024 and highly fragmented, with no single company holding significant share. Demand is supported by cost-conscious households and businesses choosing repair over replacement, reinforced by sustainability concerns and rising replacement costs. Repair work tends to hold up across economic cycles, and the mobile, on-site model serves both residential and commercial customers, making local reputation and account relationships central to a unit's performance.
