How much does a Renovation Sells franchise make?

Renovation Sells is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $2,340,056 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Renovation Sells franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Renovation Sells's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Renovation Sells franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Renovation Sells franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $2,340,056 of revenue, a 7% royalty alone is about $163,804 a year before any other cost.

Renovation Sells lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

We do not publish a litigation answer for Renovation Sells. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.

Renovation Sells closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Renovation Sells will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Renovation Sells's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Renovation Sells's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 12.9%, against a home services median of 5.1% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +9 to 40 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Renovation Sells?

Renovation Sells's franchise is offered by RENOVATION SELLS FRANCHISING, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
