We are the only full-service cabinet and countertop company, bringing a 5-star experience to kitchen and bath remodeling, from design to installation. Today, most companies in the home remodeling industry have low-tech systems, outdated showrooms, poor communication, and subpar installation. Cabinet IQ was born to fill that gap! We do this by focusing on the customer, the nuances of their project, and delivering on the quality we promise. Our business has developed an exceptional reputation by focusing on the customer and delivering the quality we promise. While some contractors and construction companies never answer their phones or check in with the customer, Cabinet IQ has built a platform for all owners to maintain communication from start to finish. The streamlined, easy-to-follow process has provided an end-to-end solution for communication and collaboration between all contractors and clients, ensuring a consistent 5-star service. With our streamlined process that focuses on smart kitchen design, the use of trusted contractors for installation, and incredible financial potential, we are now offering franchises to people across the country with no design or construction background necessary! The industry has never been in a better position for new business owners to join and successfully capitalize on their local market’s demand.

Low Investment: At Cabinet IQ, we aim to keep our investment as low as possible. Because our showrooms do not need grade A real estate and are subsidized by vendors, our investment starts at only $143,350!   2. Massive Revenue Potential: Our corporate location in North Austin achieved $3,191,352 in Gross Revenue between January 1st and October 31st of 2021, with 17% margins. Not only that, but that same location’s revenues have grown 650% since 2017!   3. Easier to Scale Than You Think: If Owners are wanting to scale their Cabinet IQ business, they can take advantage of our “hub and spoke” model where the primary warehouse and showroom act as a hub, and the additional showrooms can be added as spokes while the brand grows.  4. Laser Focused Product Line: At Cabinet IQ, we focus only on cabinets and countertops. This minimal product line allows us to simplify the business for Franchise Owners and focus on what we are good at! Also, we found that focusing on only cabinets and countertops has proven to produce the best profit margins.   5. Unique Position in the Industry: Our laser focus on only cabinets and countertops puts us in a niche position in the booming remodel industry. While other franchise concepts focus on full kitchen remodels or small kitchen refinishing jobs, we are the only brand explicitly focused on selling and installing these two products.   6. Minimal Employees Required: With our business model, Franchise Owners can start their business with themselves and one employee. Because we utilize subcontractors for the installation, the Franchise Owner and their employees will only be responsible for sales, design, and operations.   7. We Help Owners Generate Leads: Our corporate team is dedicated to ensuring the success of Franchise Owners by helping them obtain customers. We assist with SEO, Google Ads, and social media, but we also dive much deeper than these traditional marketing practices. We have a call center that reaches out to individuals who pulled remodeling permits, and we also mail letters and cold-calls neighbors of people who have already had services!, billing_contact_email=hlu@franchisefastlane.com, service_3=, registration_north_dakota=Registered, service_4=, sales_process=1.
