FAQs
How do I know if my area needs a Gasket Guy?
You can enter your zip code in the "Locator", BUT that's not always a sure thing. You should still call our office and talk to a Franchising specialist to find out if there's an additional opportunity.
What are the first steps of becoming a Franchisee?
Contact us about the opportunity and decide if it's the right fit for you. If it is, then the next step is to visit us at our home offices in Atlanta GA for an Introduction visit to explore the ins and outs of the gasket world.
What's the expected investment to become a Gasket Guy Franchisee?
Pricing is based on the size of the market and the customer count of the area. Generally expected investment will be between $40,000 and $80,000 but can vary based on the owner's specific needs.

What qualities make a great Gasket Guy Franchise Owner?
- Sales / Customer Service Experience: The key to success is sales, sales, sales, backed by customer service excellence.
- Working knowledge of technology: We use a proprietary Gasket Guy smart App for estimate/order entry, websites, email, and call log. We are committed to making your life easy and paperwork-free!
- Basic mechanical knowledge: This will help you increase your sales with add ons like strip curtains, hinges, door closers, and cutting boards. Remember, we don’t want you out there installing gaskets yourself on your hands and knees. Our business model is built on you having an installer or team of installers for that, but knowing the basics will make you that much more knowledgeable and better able to sell more business.
- Leadership skills: As you know, you will be your own boss and eventually someone else’s boss too!
