The Glass Guru has once again been named as a top remodeling franchise for 2018 by Remodeling Magazine. The Remodeling 550, an annual feature in Hanley Wood’s Remodeling Magazine since 2009, profiles the nation’s biggest full-service remodelers, replacement contractors, insurance restoration firms, and franchise operations. It’s rewarding for us here at The Glass Guru when a prestigious trade or business publication recognizes us as a top franchise opportunity. It’s a reflection of all the time, effort, and earned experience that we’ve put in since we began franchising back in 2007. A great franchise opportunity cannot exist without the tireless efforts of our franchise owners who’ve worked the model every day and thrived. This year was also a year where the publisher (Hanley Wood) shared a great deal of information about the data that was submitted by the various firm in consideration for the Remodeling 550 listing. Hanley Wood compiled the submitted data and came to some interesting conclusions. Remodeling firms that submitted information for the Remodeling 550 have seen consecutive annual growth over the past 5 years, and that growth trend is forecasted to continue! Additionally, bathroom remodels were reported by firms to have overtaken kitchen remodels for the top remodeling projects. This bodes well for a company like The Glass Guru, as the company offers custom shower enclosures, mirrors, glass shelves, and hardware required in most bathroom remodeling projects.
