Kitchen Solvers

About

Join America’s Premier Kitchen Remodeling Franchise.

Kitchen Solvers franchise owners specialize in kitchen cabinet remodeling, cabinet refacing and kitchen design consultation. We handle all types of kitchen remodeling jobs, but we pioneered high-quality cabinet refacing when we started over 35 years ago. Refacing offers consumers a custom kitchen cabinet upgrade at a much lower cost, and the jobs are also less labor intensive — which allows our franchise owners to handle a higher volume of work

The Industry Demand

The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University and the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) it releases states that since the middle of 2014 the annual increases in remodeling expenditures have not dropped below 4.8% and is expected to stay above 6% for the projected future.

$339 Billion - the value of the national home improvement and repair expenditures in the United States for the first quarter of 2019.

The remodeling market has increased 7% from this time last year.

Several trends are causing the boom:

1. Homeowners are finally tackling projects they delayed during the recession
2. Buyers who snap up foreclosures are setting aside money for immediate remodeling needs
3. Baby Boomers are reaching retirement age.

The first two factors are good news in the short term, but the last reason is why remodelers should be excited about the next decade or two.

Baby Boomers are expected to unleash a flurry of remodeling as they either upgrade for retirement or sell and downsize. Studies have shown that many homeowners near retirement haven’t remodeled in 15 to 20 years. They often make one final push for their retirement years or sell to buyers who upgrade.

At the same time, the recession and housing collapse have led to an increase in thrift. Harvard says that while remodeling activity is growing, spending-per-job is down slightly. Value is driving decisions — and that’s what kitchen cabinet refacing delivers.
