The Reality

Most franchises trade your life for someone else's dream.

You didn't leave the corporate world to manage a fleet of trucks, a revolving door of crews, and thin margins on commodity work. Traditional home-services franchises hand you a polished brochure, then drop you into the grinder.

Competing on appliance lists and installer rates
Chasing ten small jobs just to hit one decent month
Running payroll for crews you can barely keep staffed
Marketing budgets that bleed without producing leads
A "lifestyle" you haven't actually gotten to live yet

The Guide

We built the model.
You get the head start.

Complete Outdoor Living is built exclusively around designing and building outdoor kitchens — the single most anchored, most social, most under-served category in the outdoor living space.

From our design center in Oakland, Florida, we've refined every piece of the customer journey: showroom merchandising, design consultation, 3D visualization, pricing, install coordination, warranty, and post-project care. What you get as a franchisee isn't a starter kit — it's a proven operating system that took years of real projects and real homeowners to build.

The Plan

Three steps to owning the category leader in your market.

A clear path — with us walking beside you the whole way.

01

Request Information

Submit your inquiry. We share the Franchise Disclosure Document and schedule a Discovery Call to answer every question in depth — no fluff, no pressure.

02

Get Awarded a Territory

We mutually qualify fit, analyze your market, and award a protected territory. Sign the franchise agreement and step into onboarding with a defined runway.

03

Launch & Scale

Complete training at our Florida design center, stand up your showroom, and go live with centralized marketing pushing qualified leads to you from day one.

What You Get

An almost unfair
head start.

This isn't a logo and a territory. It's every system, playbook, asset, and relationship we built to make Complete Outdoor Living work — handed to you on day one.

$16K
Average Project Value

Fewer jobs. Higher margins. A calendar built around design conversations, not firefighting.

Why It Works

Sell solutions.
Not products.

Homeowners aren't investing in outdoor spaces for a single summer — they're investing in how they live every day. You're the trusted advisor helping them turn a backyard into a destination.

01

You're an expert, not a contractor.

Every project begins with a design consultation — positioning you as the trusted advisor, not someone competing on appliance lists.

02

Close one project. Not ten.

High average ticket values protect margins and keep your calendar focused on design conversations, not firefighting small jobs.

03

Keep your weekends.

A lean staffing model and predictable schedule — no 3am callouts, no revolving crews, no payroll the size of an apartment complex.

Is This You?

We're picky about who
we partner with.

Complete Outdoor Living isn't for everyone. Territories are limited, and the system works best for a specific kind of operator. Read this honestly.

✓  This is built for you if…
You've led a business, team, or P&L before
You want a design-driven, customer-facing business — not a back-office grind
You have the capital to fund a proper launch (and expect a return on it)
You live in a warm-weather market or want to own one
You'd rather sell one $16K kitchen than fifteen $4K service jobs
You want a brand you can grow into a multi-unit operation
✕  This is not for you if…
You're looking for a passive, absentee-owner investment
You want to compete primarily on price
You aren't willing to follow a proven system
You don't enjoy working with homeowners on their dream projects
You expect results without putting in the first-year lift
You don't have the capital to launch a professional showroom

The Outcome

"You're not just selling a product. You're helping families build the backyard where their kids grow up, where their friends keep showing up, where life actually happens. And you get to build that business in a way that respects your own life, too."

— Grant, Founder · Complete Outdoor Living

FAQ

The honest answers.

Everything below is covered in more depth in our Franchise Disclosure Document. If you don't see your question here, bring it to the Discovery Call.

Total estimated investment varies by market, showroom size, and build-out scope. Complete figures — franchise fee, build-out, equipment, inventory, working capital, and soft costs — are itemized in Item 7 of our Franchise Disclosure Document. We'll walk through every number with you on the Discovery Call. No vague ranges, no surprises.

No. The best operators we've talked to come from sales, design, hospitality, and general business backgrounds. You don't need to swing a hammer — you need to lead the customer experience. Our training program covers the operations side; your job is to be the face of the business in your market.

Every franchisee gets a mapped, exclusive territory defined by geography, demographics, and market potential. We will not award an overlapping location, and our centralized marketing routes territory-specific leads directly to you.

Typical timeline from signed agreement to grand opening is four to seven months, depending on site selection and permit timing in your market. We actively project-manage the process alongside you.

Weekly operator calls, a shared knowledge base, quarterly performance reviews, an annual franchisee summit, and direct access to the founder and leadership team. Our success is literally tied to yours.

Outdoor living is the fastest-growing category in residential home investment, and the outdoor kitchen sub-category is still fragmented and under-branded in most markets. Territories are being awarded now and the best markets will be locked up quickly.
