N-Hance Wood Refinishing Sets Sights on New World of Opportunities in 2022, Aims to Award 40 Franchises

2022-01-05T11:05:41-05:00January 5th, 2022|Tags: , , , , , |

Leader in Cabinet Refinishing & Hardwood Floor Continues to Capitalize on Pandemic-Induced Home Remodeling Surge.

LOGAN, Utah — Consumer demand for home improvement projects remains steadfast – especially as the pandemic-inflected increase in time spent around the house becomes the norm and home costs continue to rise across the country. N-Hance Wood Refinishing® has seen the demand first-hand with some franchise owners reporting double digit increases in consumer leads year-over-year. Prospective franchisees are taking note as N-Hance closed out 2021 with more than 25 new franchise openings and projects to award 40 franchises this year.

While homeowners turned to Do-It-Yourself projects throughout 2020 and 2021, there’s a trend in leaving projects such as big kitchen remodels, home office, and flooring to the professionals, according to the Lending Indicator of Remodeling Activity.

N-Hance’s multi-service offerings model continues to drive revenue for franchisees, while providing customers with quality work. For example, Cabinet Door Replacement has helped grow N-Hance’s average ticket price to nearly $5,000 over the past few years, while reducing labor. Around 53% of its franchisees are offering this service through N-Hance’s preferred vendor, with it generating around 27% of their revenue. All of N-Hance’s cabinet services offerings account for 79% of total revenue.

“With a strong consumer demand for large-scale home renovations, we have worked hard to equip our franchisees with the right tools and resources to deliver on every project and consumer need,” said D’Wayne Tanner, Senior Vice President of Franchise Sales. “Their success is our success. We had a great 2021 which has put us in a position to have an even better 2022. We look forward to raising the bar and accelerating our development strategy, leveraging the surge in the home services industry to continue to meet all of our growth and performances goals.”

The brand’s achievements have not gone unnoticed as the franchise industry has honored N-Hance with several recent award wins including earning a spot on Franchise Time’s prestigious 2021 Top 400 ranking that names the largest U.S.-based franchise systems by systemwide sales to better encompass the biggest brands in franchising along with promising concepts in growth mode.

N-Hance sets the industry standard for hardwood refinishing. Helping lead the company’s growth is its one of a kind “Lightspeed® instant curing system” for hardwood cabinets and floors which saves customers time and money over the traditional refinishing, refacing or replacing alternatives. Decades of experience paired with backing by franchise powerhouse, BELFOR Franchise Group makes N-Hance a proven investment opportunity that is primed for growth in this new era fueled by self and home-improvement.

In the midst of the booming home services industry, N-Hance franchisees have an advantage through access to one of the most comprehensive initial and ongoing training programs in the industry. N-Hance is also an affordable, highly scalable opportunity with strong profit-potential. The initial investment to begin operations of a new N-Hance franchise ranges from $52,369 to $168,747, and the top quartile of franchisees average over $840,000.

BOSTON — The demand for home improvement projects continues to surge – especially amid the recent housing boom and increased work-from-home flexibility – with Entrepreneur Magazine naming the industry as one of the hottest franchise categories in 2021. N-Hance Wood Refinishing® has seen the demand first-hand with some franchise owners reporting double digit increases in consumer leads year-over-year. With increased demand and record-breaking systemwide performance, the brand has announced plans to add 10-12 new territories throughout Massachusetts, secured through strategic partnerships, within the next five years.

N-Hance closed out 2020 with record-breaking system-wide sales growth, and 2021 has shaped up to be equally as prosperous. Building on the momentum of strong month-over-month performance, the N-Hance franchise network is kick-starting development goals in multiple states, pinpointing Massachusetts for franchise development. To meet the rising demand, N-Hance is actively seeking franchise partners in Boston and Springfield, with over 10 territories available.

The brand recently signed an agreement with local entrepreneur Kevan Bradley, who will launch and operate his franchise in the suburbs of Boston. N-Hance also recently partnered with franchisee Seth Gaudreau, whose territories include Berkshire and Hampshire counties as well as parts of southern Vermont. Interested investors would join a solid network of five existing franchisees in the market, resulting in strong consumer brand awareness to drive business.

“We’ve recently brought in several exceptionally strong franchisees across the state who’ve collectively raised the bar and created a great culture and reputation for our services. We look forward to continuing this legacy as we create new opportunities for entrepreneurs throughout Boston and Springfield,” said D’Wayne Tanner, Senior Vice President of Franchise Sales. “We are seeing interest from entrepreneurs who already own other types of home improvement businesses looking to diversify their portfolios, as well as from people seeking entry into the booming industry with a franchise that has a proven track record of success.”

N-Hance’s ability to innovate and adapt throughout the pandemic has allowed the brand to remain steadfast and focused on growth. By quickly pivoting to support social distancing, the brand developed a process for virtual consultations that are easily executed via phone, computer or tablet, leaving consumers with a complete proposal, along with warranty, payment options, and availability to complete the project. This has proven to be critical now as the world continues to navigate COVID-19 infections and variants of the virus – adaptability is key to future business growth. The international franchise is on track to open 40 franchises by year end.

These achievements have not gone unnoticed as the franchise industry has honored N-Hance with several recent award wins including Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2021 Franchise 500 ranking – the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking that recognizes brands for their outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength, and brand power.

Kitchen Renovations on the Rise in 2021; N-Hance Helps Homeowners Make the Biggest Impact for Any Budget

2021-03-01T10:58:41-05:00March 1st, 2021|Tags: , , , , , |

Leading Cabinet and Hardwood Refinishing Company Offers Tips for Maximizing a Kitchen Makeover.

LOGAN, Utah New Year’s resolutions are in full swing, and for many resolutions will start right at home. Home improvement projects have been on the rise since March and according to a recent Harvard study, homeowner spending is projected to continue growing into 2021. N-Hance Wood Refinishing, a leader in the refinishing of hardwood floors and kitchen cabinets is sharing advice for homeowners on how to make the biggest impact with their kitchen renovations without breaking their budget as they embark on home improvements in the new year.

The kitchen is the central gathering point of the home, so naturally it becomes a common focus for renovation. For some, kitchen renovations may seem high-cost and out of reach, but there are many ways to make simple, affordable yet impactful changes that can make a drastic difference in the look of a room.

Below are some of the most impactful changes for a kitchen remodel broken down by budgets of all sizes:

  • Low-Cost Upgrades ($1,000 and under)
    • Fix up Your Fixtures: Simply swapping out cabinet pulls or even light fixtures throughout your kitchen is all you need to elevate the look of the room. Matte black and gold fixtures are trending; and zone lighting, chandeliers, and pendant lights above the island can create a sleek, modern look.
    • Add a New Backsplash: Although commonly overlooked, a backsplash can tie a whole room together. Textured tiles or lying tiles in a unique pattern such as herringbone are some of the most sought-after looks for 2021.
  • Mid-Range Kitchen Upgrades (Up to $3,000)
    • Add Color to the Focal Point: One way to add a splash of color is to paint your kitchen island or peninsula a dramatic, bold color such as navy blue or emerald green.
    • Refinish Your Cabinets: Refinishing your cabinets is a way to change your kitchen without having to tear out and completely replace existing cabinetry. A classic refinish can allow you to keep the stain the same but fix damaged or worn areas.
  • Higher-Cost, Higher-Impact Kitchen Upgrades ($3,000 & above)
    • Cabinet Color Change: Cabinets are another main focal point, so a color change can make all the difference. Darker Stains – like Deep Walnut or Modern Ebony; All-White; Two-Toned; Soft Blues and Sages; Greys; Jewel-Toned and Black are some of the most popular looks going into the new year.
    • Upgrade Counter Tops: Replace dated countertops with beautiful quartz, granite or butcherblock.
    • Customize Your Cabinets with New Doors and Built-In Storage Elements: For a completely new style, consider keeping cabinet framework, replacing door and drawer fronts and then refinishing everything in a new color. This gives the look of a complete kitchen renovation without the mess, expense and downtime of replacing all the cabinets. You can also go a step further to add custom built-in storage and shelving to fit your needs.

“As homeowners tackle renovation projects in the new year, our goal at N-Hance is to support them every step of the way on their journeys to creating their ideal spaces,” said Abby Baker, Design Enthusiast and VP of Marketing at N-Hance. “We know that complete kitchen remodels can be costly and overwhelming, so we wanted to alleviate some of those stressors and help homeowners identify where they can make the biggest impact in their homes to fit their budgets and their lifestyles.”

To help homeowners achieve their home renovation goals, N-Hance uses proprietary solutions and refinishing techniques to restore the natural beauty or change the color completely of any wood in your home. The refinishing process provides a much higher quality and durability than painting methods and the brand can help with any wood refinishing need: cabinets, hardwood floors, exterior and interior doors, built-ins, stairs and railings, moldings and trim, furniture, etc.

Demand Doubles for N-Hance Wood Refinishing as National Nesting Trend Continues

Franchisees Face ‘Good Problem’ – Filling Shortage of Technicians to Keep Pace with Non-Stop Demand.

LOGAN, Utah — As consumers continue to spend more time inside and notice pain points about their homes, N-Hance Wood Refinishing is experiencing record-breaking demand, with most franchisees booked 6-8 weeks out.

The increase in job leads is leaving N-Hance franchise owners facing a positive challenge – racing to recruit technicians to support the ongoing influx of work, bringing more jobs to the communities they serve.

“Consumers are sitting at home more, staring at the areas that they’d like to see improved, with one of most sensitive areas being their dreary kitchen cabinets. They’re looking to get upgrades made as soon as possible,” said D’Wayne Tanner, Senior Vice President of Franchise Sales at N-Hance. “We’re seeing a lot of homeowners divert money they had planned to spend on vacations to home renovation projects.”

The most popular service being requested is kitchen cabinet color changes, primarily to bright whites, soft greys or even blues. Tanner attributes that trend to economics, noting, “Cabinet upgrades can make a huge difference in the look of a high-traffic room like the kitchen at a more affordable price than tearing out and doing a full remodel.”

The company is also seeing continued interest in the N-Hance franchise opportunity, having sold 16 territories across the United States since March.

“The demand for home improvement projects is surging due to homeowners’ focus on their quality of their life at home. I believe this is a societal change – families nesting instinct and desire for improvements in the home living space are here to stay,” Tanner said. “We are seeing interest from entrepreneurs who already own other types of home improvement businesses looking to diversify their portfolios, as well as from people seeking entry into the booming industry.”

N-Hance sets the industry standard for hardwood refinishing. Helping lead the company’s growth is its one of a kind “Lightspeed® instant curing system” for hardwood cabinets and floors which saves customers time and money over the traditional refinishing, refacing or replacing alternatives. Decades of experience paired with backing by franchise powerhouse, BELFOR Franchise Group make N-Hance a proven and profitable investment opportunity that is primed for growth in this new era fueled by self and home-improvement.
