History

Dave Haglund founded Kitchen Tune-Up out of a direct need in the cabinet industry to repair and renew cabinets and other wood items. In 1975 he had started his own cabinet distributorship and quickly found success, expanding his business into four locations with more than 60 dealers in three states.

In 1986, Dave made an observation while in a customer's home. He noticed that the six-year-old kitchen was starting to look a little run-down, but did not need to be entirely replaced. Having run a service-oriented business, Dave asked if the customer would like him to "tune-up" some of the worn areas in the kitchen. The customer was thrilled with the results! At that point, Dave discovered there was a market niche.

Dave worked hard to perfect a process that would restore not only cabinets, but any interior wood surface back to it’s original luster. After years of testing and perfecting, he wanted to share this new concept with the nation and thus decided to franchise the system that he had developed.

He began franchising as Kitchen Tune-Up, Inc. in 1988 and Kitchen Tune-Up has since enjoyed steady growth. Kitchen Tune-Up stands alone in the wide variety of services and products that we offer. Our nationwide presence offers the customer the best of both worlds, competitive pricing and outstanding customer service.  Dave is still involved in the daily operations and guides the company.
