Item 19
What Ideal Siding franchisees actually report earning
Median gross revenue
$767,865
Ideal Siding's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1 - December 31, 2025. Basis: Existing franchised outlets that had been in operation for more than 12 months and had been operational for a full year during 2025.
Sample size: 17 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross revenue of $1,073,090. 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 results of 2 franchised outlets were excluded because they did not provide the financial reporting necessary to prepare an accurate financial performance representation.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Ideal Siding outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
