Founded in 2005, Garage Living has become a leader in the garage renovation industry, helping homeowners turn neglected garage areas into practical, well-designed spaces.
With its headquarters in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, Garage Living began franchising in 2015 and has since expanded its footprint throughout North America.
The brand offers an all-inclusive range of services, from planning and installing garage storage systems and cabinets to applying concrete floor coatings, setting up car lifts, replacing garage doors, and handling related upgrades.
What sets Garage Living apart is its commitment to using premium, North American-made products and delivering a seamless, end-to-end experience for customers seeking a full garage transformation.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Garage Living provides a detailed and structured training program for its franchisees to ensure proper business operation and brand consistency:
Garage Living grants franchisees an exclusive Designated Territory, typically covering 75,000 to 170,000 qualified households. Franchisees cannot sell or promote products outside this territory without approval, though the franchisor may sell through national chains or online channels reaching into the area.
The franchisor may adjust territory size during renewal based on demographic changes and can reduce the territory or terminate the agreement if sales benchmarks aren’t met.
Franchisees must stop servicing areas reassigned to new franchisees, and the franchisor retains rights to acquire or be acquired by businesses operating nearby without breaching territorial protections.
