Training: Door Renew has a 4-phase training program which commences
upon the signing of the franchise agreement.
- Right Start. 2-4 weeks, depending on time franchisee can spend.
This phase involves the 'below grade' activities such as financial
projections, marketing plan, vehicle/decal acquisition, set up
LLC/corp, review manuals, etc.
- Training. This 1-week, hands-on training takes place at our
training center in Cincinnati, Ohio. With phase 1 activities
handled we can focus on specific door restoration procedures. It
involves classroom, shop and field work.
- Field Visit. After the franchisee has completed several jobs,
usually within 4-6 weeks, we will visit them to provide further
training, answer questions and make certain their business is
launching according to plan.
- Ongoing. Training and support continues through a variety of
means, including conference calls, individual calls,
group/individual emails & texts, the Door Renew Intranet site and
periodic conventions.

Other Info: Trainers and support staff members are franchisees who
are actually restoring doors. The support and information they
provide is first-hand and completely applicable.
We highly recommend that franchisees begin operating out of their
garage, pole barn or outbuilding if they have one. This is cost
saving and a tremendous time saver. As volume picks up they can
rent a larger space. By now there is more than enough revenue to
absorb this cost.
