Your path to success with an exterior remodeling franchise
Every contractor seeks financial independence and long-term security for their families. Exterior remodeling franchises provide a path to that success by consolidating multiple small companies into a single, powerful brand — CR3 — with more buying power and greater marketing prowess.
Exterior Remodeling Franchise Opportunities
Shift Your Business into High Gear.
Think… “Cooperative Partnership”
Many years ago, mom-and-pop hardware stores formed co-ops in order to consolidate buying power.
Today, brands like Ace and TrueValue demonstrate benefits similar to co-ops, taking on burdens that small businesses find challenging to manage.
The strengths of roofing contractors are their workmanship skills and their effective 1-on-1 relationships with clients.
But staying ahead of the complex digital marketing game and maintaining high profit margins are not their greatest strengths.
By joining CR3, exterior remodeling contractors can fill in the gaps that are holding them back from achieving the success they have always strived toward.


So, What and Who is CR3?
CR3 was started by deeply experienced franchise strategists who teamed up with successful roofing & exterior remodeling contractors.
Together, we clearly understand what is taking place in the exterior remodeling industry and saw an opportunity to enable smart contractors to thrive within an industry that is consolidating under bigger players with deeper pockets.
CR3 was formed to enable small-to-midsize contractors to capitalize on a proven franchise model that really works, while establishing a powerful national brand that will make your operation a household name.

What is a Franchise?
A franchise is an organization that unites independent companies and businesspeople to form a powerful and attractive brand with regional, national, or even international brand recognition. Franchises gain top-of-mind awareness, meaning that their brand is often the first one a person thinks about when they consider purchasing a particular product or service. Intrinsically trusted by consumers, it is that franchise brand that so often wins the sale!

CR3’s Dollar Back Guarantee
CR3 guarantees to leave your property looking exactly as it did before we performed our services. No trash, extra materials and ESPECIALLY NO NAILS! In fact, if after the completion of your project, you or a family member find any nails left behind on your property, we will give you $1 back per nail! This offer extends to one (1) week after the completion of your project!

Yes. As well as maintaining a lead role in the business you started and built, CR3 will actually empower you to do more and make better decisions moving forward. We value training and education in the areas in which most contractors don’t necessarily excel!
When it comes to roofing and home services, property owners like working with a local company–one that can provide genuine personal attention, and a company that has performed work for others in the neighborhood. In a franchise model, that doesn’t change! Being part of a franchise does not mean you have to sacrifice your local reputation, and you can still maintain a focus on serving your community. Now, under a franchise label, you can enjoy more leads, realize a higher greater profit margin, and become more of an authority in your line of work than you ever thought possible.
CR3 was started by a successful contractor, a lifelong craftsman in the construction field, and a deeply experienced franchise creator. Bringing together their collective knowledge and keen insight into the contracting profession, they possess the know-how to help others succeed through the franchise business model.
The great thing about franchise opportunities in the roofing and construction industry is that it’s a fairly new frontier! At CR3 we recognized the need to form a franchise in order to give small-to-midsize contractors a better way to survive and thrive in the ever changing and more cut throat roofing industry.
No Problem. We want to talk to you! Educating business people about the lucrative opportunities in joining a franchise organization is our strength. We believe in your potential. Contact us, today.
