Top Nationwide Home Solutions Franchise Delivers Personalized Designs and Seamless Customer Experience to Florida

TALLAHASSEE, FL (February 17, 2026) – With the U.S. home remodeling market estimated to reach nearly $813 billion by 2034, Closets by Design continues to meet consumer demand by expanding its brand footprint. Most recently, the leader in custom home organization solutions signed a new franchise agreement to serve the Tallahassee region, led by local business owner Matt Lyons.

Through this expansion, Lyons will bring professionally customized storage solutions to homeowners across North Florida and the surrounding Southeast, meeting a growing demand for functional organization in closets, garages, home offices and more.

  • Matt Lyons brings a strong background in business ownership, customer service and sales to the region.
  • The new franchise fills a long-standing gap in the local market, offering reliable, locally based custom closet and home organization solutions.
  • Most recently, Lyons served as president of Lyons Ortho Med, bringing proven leadership to this new endeavor.

After relocating to Tallahassee in 2021, Lyons discovered a lack of local custom closet providers, requiring the use of an out-of-town company for a home project which resulted in delays, rising costs and unnecessary stress. That experience revealed a clear opportunity to bring a higher level of service, communication and customization to the market.

“Closets by Design stood out to me because of its long-standing reputation, proven systems and commitment to quality,” said Lyons. “Homeowners today are focused on improving and organizing the spaces they already have, and this brand allows me to deliver real, everyday value while building something meaningful in my community.”

Now with the franchise in full operation, Lyons and his team of 11 local employees offer fully customized solutions designed to improve functionality, aesthetics and everyday living.

“We’re excited to have Matt represent our brand in the growing Tallahassee and surrounding areas,” said Jerry Egner, President of Closets by Design. “This expansion reflects our continued growth and commitment to providing homeowners with customized solutions, professional design and a seamless experience from consultation through installation.”

Closets by Design has established a strong brand identity, proven business model, and an infrastructure for ongoing support that offers training and guidance to potential franchise partners that are seeking to capitalize on escalating consumer demand for functional, personalized home organization.

Rated as the #1 franchise in its category by Entrepreneur Magazine, the brand ranked No. 252 on this year’s 2026 Franchise 500® list — the world’s most comprehensive ranking of franchise opportunities. Looking ahead, Closets by Design plans to expand its footprint further with strategic openings in key growth markets, supported by a robust pipeline of qualified franchise candidates and ongoing innovations in design and customer experience.
