More About This Franchise
Refresh is not just another franchise system, but is a business model that has been designed from the top down (in conjunction with large building industry corporates) to transform the $350 billion per year residential renovation market, where there is a real need for a better customer experience and better value for money.
As anyone who has completed a home renovation project can attest – the home renovation market has a massive problem - fragmentation.
On one side, homeowners are required to manage a challenging process to organize contractors, make design decisions and manage costs, leading to over-budget projects. It is not any better on the other side for the tradespeople. They are constantly trying to make a reasonable living, but spend an inordinate amount of time on admin and chasing new business, leading to highly variable earnings and lots of frustration.
Refresh Renovations has helped franchise owners from all walks of life transform their careers, incomes, and lifestyles. Refresh seeks out business-minded individuals who are highly competent in building successful businesses while providing an exceptional level of customer service. By pairing these traits with innovative systems, processes and a team of business and marketing specialists – Refresh has developed a proven formula for business success.
Refresh has engineered a very powerful model that combines a fully integrated software system, enabling its franchisees to deliver the best customer experience and solve a massive problem for both homeowners and contractors.

What people have to say about Refresh
“I’ve replaced my salary now. I’ve got a lifestyle now. I’m building an asset - which you can’t do when you’re on a salary.”- Jeff Clark - Refresh Renovations Wellington franchise owner & former IT whizz
“It was an opportunity for me to get into an exciting industry that I was interested in but didn’t have a huge amount of knowledge or experience in. I knew when buying a franchise that it would allow me to join this industry and get the experience and knowledge” - Paul Cree, Melbourne franchise owner & former engineering consultant
“The support network from head office and other franchisees in the group add a lot of value to beginners like me.” - Dave Georgetti, Auckland franchise owner & former business manager
"We have been impressed with the professional and polished approach taken by the team at Traffic in their establishment and roll-out of the Refresh Renovation franchise operation. Traffic’s approach, and Refresh’s processes and systems appear to be second to none. They are certainly far more advanced than a number of other franchise systems that we have had contact with. Our view is that the team at Traffic and Refresh are proactive, innovative, well-organised, smart, professional and committed to excellence. As their lawyers, we have seen first hand how satisfied potential Refresh Renovations franchisees are in terms of the process of introduction to the system and subsequent conversion to franchisees. The roll-out of the Refresh franchise operation has been able to be brought to market extremely quickly without any compromise in quality. Opportunities will certainly come knocking to this franchised business, and we would recommend them, and Traffic, without hesitation." - Scott Goodwin, Franchise Lawyer
"Chris (Kuhr) was fabulous to work with. He communicates very well and keeps the customer informed every step of the way. He was always there to meet the subcontractors to make sure there were no glitches. He went the extra mile and did little things to make sure the job was perfect. Would definitely hire him again." - Beth Fitzpatrick, a satisfied Refresh customer of renovation specialist, Chris Kuhr in Portland
