About this Business
Granite Transformations of Draper has proudly served Utah homeowners since 2004, earning a reputation for quality craftsmanship and dependable remodeling. The franchise was acquired by the current owner in 2023 after years of experience working within the company as a production and operations manager. With deep knowledge of the business model and product systems, we worked quickly to stabilize the operation, complete outstanding legacy projects, and restore the brand’s reputation in Salt Lake County.
Between 2023–2024, we completed approximately 80 projects using the GT signature quartz overlay and cabinet refacing solutions. The business includes a fully equipped shop, around 50 slabs of high-demand quartz inventory, a professional-grade bridge saw, miter saw, hand tools, computers, and a cell phone. Van and vehicle assets can be negotiated separately.
Due to a shift in focus toward our rapidly growing construction company, this business was placed temporarily on hold over the past 10 months — not because of performance issues, but due to resource limitations. The GT brand still has strong awareness and demand in Utah, with very little local competition and an exclusive territory included in the sale. There is no debt attached to the business, and franchise transfer support is available from the corporate office.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established remodeling brand in a protected market — with assets, training, and infrastructure already in place.
Growth opportunities
Granite Transformations of Draper holds an exclusive Utah territory with strong brand awareness and minimal direct competition. The new owner can quickly reactivate operations, hire a small install crew, and launch targeted digital marketing to restore immediate revenue. The business was paused for personal reasons, not due to demand. Significant growth potential exists by leveraging the brand’s national reputation and expanding cabinet refacing services across residential and commercial markets.
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
The current owner has extensive experience in remodeling, having worked as a production and operations manager for Granite Transformations before acquiring the franchise in 2023. Initially hands-on with installations and project management, the owner later shifted focus to a separate construction company, placing this business temporarily on hold. A new owner could choose to be fully active or semi-absentee with a small team in place.
Franchise Accolades & Awards
Legacy location with 20+ years of brand presence in Salt Lake City. Praised for quality installations and customer service since 2004. Previously recognized as a top-performing territory under earlier ownership.
Additional Info
The business is debt-free and includes significant startup assets, allowing a new owner to avoid heavy equipment costs. Franchise transfer fee is approx. $10,000. Support and training available from the corporate office.
Asset Description
Bridge saw, miter saw, hand tools, computers, cell phone, showroom displays, and cabinet refacing tools. All essential equipment for quartz fabrication and installation included.
Inventory Description
Approximately 50 full quartz slabs in various popular colors, stored and ready for fabrication. Slabs alone represent a strong head start on job readiness and cost savings.
Reason for Selling
The owner is focusing full-time on a rapidly expanding construction business and does not have the bandwidth to actively run both operations. Rather than let this valuable franchise sit unused, the owner is seeking a qualified buyer to take over and unlock its full potential.
Why I Love My Franchise
Granite Transformations was where I started my career in construction — it was my first real exposure to the remodeling industry, and I immediately fell in love with the process. I began as an employee, learning everything hands-on: installations, customer service, and project management. Over time, I grew into leadership and eventually became the owner. This business taught me the foundations of craftsmanship, responsibility, and entrepreneurship. I’ve always believed in the product, the brand,
About Granite and TREND Transformations
Granite and TREND Transformations (formerly Granite Transformations) is a kitchen and bathroom remodeling franchise built around a proprietary overlay system. Rather than full demolition, franchisees offer homeowners and commercial clients premium surface products installed directly on top of existing counters, tiles, and cabinetry. Most projects are completed in a single day.
The brand is part of TREND Group, an Italian stone and glass manufacturer. Flagship products include etherium® by E-Stone countertops, incorporating built-in Microban® antimicrobial protection and ForeverSeal® polymer resin for heat, stain, and scratch resistance. The surface range also covers recycled glass, quartz, and granite, all backed by a lifetime limited warranty.
Franchised since 1997, the system operates across the US and internationally. Franchisees run showroom-based operations with a technical installation team; customers are engaged through in-home design consultations, and once a sale is confirmed, a trained crew handles measurement and fitting. Exclusive territories are available across the US.
Franchisee Support
New franchisees complete 40 hours of classroom training and 40 hours of on-the-job training, followed by a Discovery Day at the company's headquarters in Miami, Florida, which includes a factory tour in Sebring. Ongoing support covers field operations, purchasing co-ops, a franchisee intranet platform, and proprietary software. Marketing assistance includes co-op advertising, social media, SEO, email campaigns, and website development. Buyers of an existing unit should confirm what initial training and system access transfer with the resale.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Granite and TREND Transformations has been awarded 'Best for Kitchen Renovations' by Bob Vila, a widely recognised home improvement authority. The brand holds VetFran 3-Star membership, reflecting its commitment to veteran franchise candidates, and has maintained Franchise Registry Verified Member status, which supports SBA lending pathways for prospective buyers. For resale buyers, brand recognition at the unit level matters alongside system-level accolades; local reviews, referral sources, and community visibility are equally important credibility signals.
Industry / Market
The US home remodeling market reached $503 billion in 2024, according to Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, with kitchens and bathrooms among the most common upgrades, each tackled by about one in four renovating homeowners. Aging housing stock sustains baseline demand, as does widespread consumer preference for professional contractors; 91% of homeowners hire professionals for remodeling work. The kitchen and bath segment has shown relative resilience across economic cycles, as surface upgrades attract spending even when full room renovations slow.
Ideal Owner
The ideal Granite and TREND Transformations franchisee is sales-oriented and comfortable with consultative, in-home selling to residential and commercial customers. Prior experience in remodeling or construction is not required; franchisees come from varied backgrounds. Strong project management and team leadership are important, given the need to coordinate a small installation crew. A genuine interest in home design and comfort managing a showroom-based operation round out the profile.
