Franchise Investment Overview
We believe in putting the price in writing before any work starts. That rule applies to homeowners, and it applies to anyone considering a Bradford Remodeling franchise. The ranges below are our best ballpark estimates based on what it actually costs to stand up a construction company that runs on The Garrison Standard. They are not a legal offering document, and we will not pretend otherwise. Exact figures come from official documents you receive after qualification. What we can tell you plainly: this is a real business with real trucks, real tools, and real overhead, and the numbers reflect that.
Estimated Startup Investment
Here is an honest look at what a new Bradford Remodeling location typically requires. These are marketing estimates drawn from our experience supporting independent operators within the Garrison Partners family since 2004. Your market, your build-out choices, and your local permitting costs will move these numbers.
| Investment Category | Estimated Range |
|---|---|
| Franchise Fee | $45,000 – $65,000 |
| Equipment & Vehicles | $75,000 – $140,000 |
| Initial Marketing & Launch | $25,000 – $50,000 |
| Working Capital (first 6 months) | $60,000 – $110,000 |
| Total Estimated Investment | $205,000 – $365,000 |
Let us explain what those line items mean in plain English. The franchise fee is the one-time cost for the Bradford Remodeling name, the operating system, and the training that comes with it. Equipment and vehicles covers trucks, trailers, saws, nailers, ladders, and the daily gear a general contracting and kitchen remodeling crew needs to show up ready. Initial marketing gets your name in front of homeowners before the first truck rolls. Working capital is the buffer that keeps payroll and materials moving while the first invoices come in. If you have run a trade business before, none of this will surprise you. If you have not, that is exactly why the training exists.

What’s Included
The franchise fee is not a piece of paper. It buys you the system that has kept Bradford Remodeling jobs on schedule and by the book since 2004. Here is what comes with it:
- Brand license and territory: The right to operate as Bradford Remodeling in a defined market, with the name recognition that comes from the Garrison Partners family.
- Initial training: Classroom and field training covering estimating, project management, The Garrison Code, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. You learn the trade’s real terms, from rim joists to weep screeds, and how to explain them to homeowners.
- Launch marketing package: A structured plan for your first 90 days, including local outreach, digital presence, and the messaging that has worked for Bradford locations across the country.
- Operating systems and documentation: The written-price toolset, scheduling system, and job-site checklists that keep every project running to The Garrison Standard.
- Access to the brand material roster: The documented manufacturer relationships for KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Caesarstone, Kohler, Moen, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, James Hardie, Therma-Tru, Belgard, and Unilock, so your specifications are traceable and your quality is not left to guesswork.
- Ongoing support: A support structure that helps with operations questions, training refreshers, and the back-office discipline that keeps a remodel business squared away.
Financing & Next Steps
Third-party financing exists for a good portion of the startup cost. Equipment lenders routinely finance trucks, trailers, and major tools because those assets hold value. SBA and conventional small business loans are common paths for franchise startups, and many lenders recognize the Garrison Partners name. Some candidates use a combination of personal capital and equipment financing to get started. We do not arrange financing ourselves, and we do not make earnings claims. What we do is walk you through the real numbers in a qualification conversation, answer your questions directly, and show you the official disclosure documents that carry the actual figures for your market.
If you want to see the exact numbers, the next step is simple. Call us at (903) 568-7222 and a live person will answer. Not a voicemail, not a callback queue. You will talk to someone who can tell you what the process looks like and what the next steps are. You can also request the info kit below and we will get it to you. The estimate is free. The conversation is straight. That is how Bradford Remodeling has done things since 2004, and that is how we do franchise conversations too.
All figures on this page are non-binding marketing estimates for discussion purposes only; actual investment amounts vary by market and are provided in the official franchise documents during the qualification process.
