Item 19
What Design Pro Remodeling franchisees actually report earning
Median
$579,399
Design Pro Remodeling's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Basis: All three (3) operational franchised outlets that operated for the entire twelve (12) month period.
Sample size: 3 outlets. The FDD also reports average of $484,554. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest outlets; the median is the middle outlet.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- The two (2) operational franchised outlets that opened in 2025 were excluded because they were not operational for the entire measurement period.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Design Pro Remodeling outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
