The founders bring 3 decades of window industry & franchise development experience to CoolVu. If you’re willing to do the work, we’ve put the tools & training together into an affordable package.
In Our Franchisee’s Own Words
It was an amazing team to walk into. We’ve been independent for 20 years and to walk in and have a team with marketing and the experience and the product line. It was an amazing opportunity.

Everybody in life wants to achieve something greater than themselves, but it takes a platform to do that. And a lot of times you can go your whole life and never find that platform. I feel blessed that this has been a platform that’s allowed me to grown in an industry that I care some much about. it’s not a job, it’s a lifestyle.
