Garage Living - Franchise
History
It started with a conviction: the garage was the most neglected room in the home, and the market had accepted that for too long.
Garage Living launched in 2005 with a different standard, one where design came first, installation was never outsourced, and the homeowner's experience mattered as much as the finished transformation. That standard held through thousands of projects, two continents, and a franchise model built around one consistent promise. The industry was fragmented. Garage Living stepped into that gap and decided to own it.
Industry facts
The garage renovation industry represents a significant and still largely untapped opportunity across North America. Most homes have a garage. Most of those garages are unfinished, underused, and overdue for something better. The renovation industry serving them has been dominated by local operators, big-box solutions, and nobody accountable for the whole experience.>
Garage Living has spent nearly two decades building the products, the process, and the franchise infrastructure to fill it — at scale, with consistency, and without lowering the standard to do it.
Training & support
Garage Living's franchise model is built on the understanding that the quality of the final product is only as strong as the people behind it. Every franchisee enters a system that has been refined across thousands of projects, not a classroom theory, but a field-tested process that covers design, installation, sales, and customer experience from the ground up.
Training and support examples include:
- In-person design and installation training at corporate locations and on-site at franchisee markets.
- A proven sales process developed through years of direct-to-homeowner consultation.
- Product knowledge training covering polyaspartic floor coatings, steel cabinetry, slatwall storage, car lifts, and the full Garage Living product ecosystem.
- Ongoing operational support covering marketing, lead generation, and customer experience standards.
- Access to the Designer Series framework — a curated set of coordinated garage looks that simplify the sales conversation and raise the average project value.
- Regular touchpoints with the corporate team throughout the life of the business.
Garage Living franchisees don't inherit a logo and a price list. They inherit a system, one that has already answered most of the hard questions, so they can stay focused on delivering the renovation their customers will talk about for years.

After an 18-month search of researching over 20 different franchises in the home services industry, we came across Garage Living. The opportunity to introduce garage flooring and organization, and generate awareness of garage transformations market, was very appealing. The garage is the last place homeowners think of improving, and the opportunity of getting involved in this market got us very excited. The fact that the business was founded in Canada by Canadians was also a major factor in deciding to move forward and make the investment in launching our franchise.Lance Sparling, franchise owner (Garage Living Vancouver)
Joining the Garage Living family has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my 29 years of business. The help and support I have received from corporate and other franchise owners to say the least is amazing. We never could’ve grown this fast without it and in a short time we are already adding on more installation crews and salespeople. Garage interiors are an incredibly untapped market and nobody does it better than Garage Living!Richard Cunningham, franchise owner (Garage Living Connecticut)
The products that Garage Living carries truly sell themselves. In the last year, we’ve learned that everyone wants an organized garage that can be used as additional space in their home. The customers that have a budget for this type of home improvement are always delighted with the results. It really is an untapped market that we didn’t know existed. After our first year we exceeded our expectation and can’t imagine doing anything else. There is no greater feeling than making over a client’s garage. We have yet to complete a project where our client isn’t in love with the end result! What could be more rewarding than sell products and service that people can’t get anywhere else?Charmaine & Mike Reiber, franchise owners (Garage Living Calgary)
I wasn't interested in joining a franchise, but after looking at the Garage Living program, and the quality of people running it, I decided to investigate further. Over the next five months, I did a thorough analysis of costs, fees, marketing materials, and benefits. It became clear to me that I could bring my product line to market much more efficiently and profitably with Garage Living. In 2014, I joined the Garage Living family, and it truly is a family. My showroom was opened in May of 2015, and things took off. Don’t be fooled. It is a lot of hard work running a franchise but it is incredibly rewarding. I experienced a 40% growth in my first year, and that was with my showroom open for only seven months. Joining Garage Living is the best thing I could have done for my business and my family. I haven’t regretted it for a second.Gary DiStefano, franchise owner (Garage Living Jacksonville)
