Kitchen Tune-Up
Old, worn-out cabinets provide an open-and-shut case for Kitchen Tune-Up. Company founder Dave Haglund developed a process to restore cabinets and any interior wood surface back to the original luster. Today, Kitchen Tune-Up offers a variety of cost-effective services to renew surfaces, add features, and improve a room's layout. Some of those services include cabinet refacing and redooring, wood reconditioning, custom cabinets, custom storage systems, and bathroom remodeling. The first Kitchen Tune-Up franchise was sold in Fargo, ND, in 1988. Franchise candidates are given the company's decision about a territory within 48 hours of meeting company representatives. Franchisee training and support are provided.
