Item 19
What Door Renew's FDD reports in Item 19
Median
$2,150 per job invoice
This is a figure per job invoice, not what one outlet takes in a year. Door Renew's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the 2024 calendar year. Basis: The Detroit, MI location, the first of the 13 System Locations the FDD lists separately; its 100 jobs in 2024. The FDD publishes no system-wide median.
Sample size: 1 System Location. The FDD also reports average of $2,823 per job invoice.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- We excluded five (5) locations that did not report their sales.
- These locations were not open for a full calendar year as of December 31, 2024, but we have included their sales as it was reported to us.
This is a disclosure of what some existing System Locations reported, not a projection of what a new Door Renew System Location would earn. Your results will differ.
