Hello Garage vs Granite America Franchise Comparison

Backed by more than 40 years’ experience in the home-service contracting industry, we set out to make the Hello Garage experience so remarkable, you’ll want to tell your friends about it. So, our obsessive garage nerds spent a ton of time researching and eliminating different floor coating formulations. They inspected and rejected countless cabinet and slatwall designs. While that was happening, our customer care guides were figuring out how to provide an experience unlike anything anyone’s ever had before - one that would raise the bar for all contractors, from plumbers to landscapers. And when those two things came together... Hello Garage .

The franchise offered is for the operation of either a granite and stone countertop sales and installation shop that orders slabs as needed, fabricates them and performs installations (“Express Model”), a granite and stone countertop sales, fabrication and installation shop that has an inventory of slabs onsite (“Standard Model”) or a granite and stone countertop sales, fabrication and installation shop that has an inventory of slabs onsite and uses digital technology and automation to fabricate slabs (“Digital Model”) for home improvement and construction projects. Besides opening as a new business (“Startup Franchise”) there is also an option to convert an existing granite, marble or solid surface shop into either an Express, Standard or Digital Model (“Conversion Franchise”). These are service oriented businesses that offers a wide selection of imported granite and stone slabs that are customized into countertops while incorporating an efficient and simplistic approach to production and daily operations, under the name “Granite America®”.
