Tailored Living

Tailored Living® featuring PremierGarage® is the largest home organization franchise in the nation offering some of today’s most highly sought-after services such as in-home organization systems and garage organization, and storage solutions. The Tailored Living home improvement franchise opportunity is a unique situation where you can start a business that is already backed by a large and formidable brand.

Tailored Living proudly offers homeowners high-quality organization and storage solutions for their garages, closets, pantries, family rooms, home offices and more, through complimentary in-home consultations. The company also provides complete design, measuring and installation services adapted to each client’s specific needs.

Tailored Living’s industry experience, commitment to service, and wide breath of product offerings has allowed it to grow into the largest whole-home organization company with nearly 200 franchise territories serving more than 2,000 cities throughout the United States and Canada.

The demand for custom storage solutions is surging as the real estate market is forcing many homeowners to downsize or remain in a home they may be outgrowing. With low overhead, high margins, no inventory, and a large territorial footprint, Tailored Living is a great opportunity for candidates who want to be heavily involved with minimal employees, as well as for the empire builder who wants a management role and growth potential.

Tailored Living is looking for candidates with some business background who are comfortable with hiring and managing employees. While it can be done on a smaller scale with one territory and only one additional installer, most of our franchisees will want to be hiring and managing a sales person and team of installers at minimum. Hardworking, professional, and outgoing men and women fit well with our company culture.

Tailored Living offers exclusive territories, with at least 75,000 households defined by zip codes, and most territories having over 100K households. Territories are sold out in Northern and Southern California, Detroit, and Southern Florida.

Our franchisees benefit from the support of a strong franchisor with debt-free ownership and assets greater than $16B. Franchisees receive 10 days of hands-on training at our Home Office, paid for by the franchisor, and at least a year of outside P&L/business coaching by an outside group of vendors. Help lines, webinars, annual conventions, and central purchasing are just some of the additional support offered by the franchisor.

With its competitive advantage of offering a greater selection of products than its competitors and a D’Vinci design that allows custom designing and printing a rendering in the appointment, Tailored Living is the only organization company that can fulfill all of those product needs in one stop. It also offers exclusive liquid flooring, which is the most sought-after flooring brand.
