With HomeStory, the Opportunity is Easy to See The first company of its kind in an underserved market niche Proprietary technology creates incredible efficiency and a barrier for competitors Powerful marketing and sales system backed by over 15 years of experience HomeStory transforms and updates homes faster, easier, and more affordably than any other home improvement project. This is accomplished by replacing all of the worn, outdated doors in a home with beautiful designer doors and hardware. HomeStory offers tremendous value, made possible by award-winning technology, a nationwide supplier network, and a marketing system that engages homeowners and creates demand. Learn How HomeStory's Proprietary Technology Unlocks the Door Replacement Market Why Door Replacement? Simply put: A substantial unmet need. Like most items in a home, doors wear out, become outdated and need to be replaced. Yet, few homeowners have been offered an affordable, convenient and mess-free option for updating their doors. As a result, most homes still have their old doors, making this a large, untapped market with little competition. What a Difference! Homeowners repeatedly tell us how surprised and delighted they are with the dramatic improvement our custom doors and hardware make throughout their homes. With HomeStory, you're able to consistently exceed customer expectations, making them invaluable advocates for your service.
