The Stone Coat Franchise Opportunity on Franchise Interviews

This Dallas-based company is the leading innovator of a unique process creating true stone wall finishes. The company exclusive "Blown Stone" system allows you to literally resurface almost any vertical surface with a real stone finish, meaning homeowners save time and money rather than placing traditional stone in their homes. Originally developed in Europe to restore old historic buildings, Stone Coat is a proprietary blend of Limestone and other natural stone materials and minerals specifically designed to be blown onto almost any vertical surface. Once applied, it is able to be carved, shaped, and colored in a variety of ways, including Austin chalk, river rock, cast stone, and many more. Each finish is a custom inspiration of the artisan at work. Recreating the look of Flagstone, Limestone, Brick or Slate is all possible. We are meeting with Sam Hance.

ReUp Franchise Opportunity - Disrupting the Real Estate Market: An Interview with Ryan Sawchuk

We're meeting with Ryan Sawchuk, founder of ReUp Living, to discuss how ReUp is disrupting the real estate market, its expansion through franchising, and plans to open an experience center in Las Vegas this fall.
ReUp is a pre-listing solution for homeowners, buyers, and real estate agents. The company increases a home's value by remodeling it before the sale with no risk or upfront costs.
Founded in 2021 by Ryan Sawchuk, ReUp began franchising in 2022. It has set out to transform the real estate process by updating tired homes with turnkey home improvements that require no upfront costs. Unlike traditional real estate transactions, ReUp covers the renovation costs and then splits the profit from the increased home values, ensuring higher gains from the sale. The company can also simultaneously allow buyers to customize their new home while financing is closing.
ReUp takes care of all renovation costs, sourcing, project management, and communication, and only uses licensed and insured general contractors on all projects. ReUp is making home improvements accessible and stress-free so sellers can increase the value of their homes, buyers can customize and update the home of their dreams, and real estate agents can maximize their profitability through higher property values post-renovation.
