Why More Service Pros Are Turning to Cabinets
As demand for premium garage upgrades continues to grow, more contractors and entrepreneurs are looking to add garage cabinets to their business. With the right support and product line, becoming a garage cabinet dealer in 2025 is more accessible than ever.
But accessibility doesn’t mean “easy money.” It means the barriers have been lowered—not the expectations. Here’s what it really takes to succeed.
A Product You Can Stand Behind
Not all garage cabinets are created equal. The systems used in our dealer program are built to commercial-grade standards, designed to stand up to real-life wear and tear, and engineered with your customers in mind.
What to look for in a product line:
- Strong construction that meets industry standards
- Flexible configurations and pre-designed kits
- Stylish color options and high-quality countertops
- A catalog that makes quoting and ordering straightforward
The best dealers aren’t just installers. They’re confident in what they sell.
Training That Actually Prepares You
To become a garage cabinet dealer, you need to know more than how to use a level and a power drill. Our program includes hands-on certification that prepares you for real installs, not just theory.
Look for a dealer program that includes:
- In-person training (not just online videos)
- Guidance from people who’ve actually done the work
- Product knowledge and install best practices
- Resources to help you quote and sell with confidence
You can expect all of this through our dealer onboarding process, which is built to get you installation-ready from day one.
A Business Model That Sets You Up for Growth
You shouldn’t have to pay franchise fees, stock inventory, or give up control of your brand to get started. In 2025, the best dealer programs offer:
- No franchise or licensing fees
- No territory restrictions
- No warehouse or shop space required
- The ability to grow at your own pace
