N-Hance of Buffalo Under New Ownership

NEW YORK – N-Hance, the leading kitchen makeover franchise that provides cabinet and floor refinishing services without the inconvenience, expense, and noxious fumes associated with traditional refinishing methods, has undergone a recent transfer in ownership of one of its New York franchise locations: N-Hance of Buffalo in Lancaster. The refinishing service is part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family of brands.

The franchise location is now owned and operated by Joe Shields. After serving in the United States Army for 11 years, Joe became a full-time home inspector in Buffalo and co-founded a successful industrial supplies eCommerce business. Joe will be assisted in daily operations by a talented team he inherited from previous owner Bob DeGraff. This team includes lead spray technician Jacob Fairbanks and carpenter Bob Buczkowski. In his free time, Joe enjoys hiking, golf, and supporting his children’s dance and baseball activities.

“As I began looking into potential business opportunities, I knew I wanted to take everything I have learned from growing a start-up operation from the ground up and running small businesses for private equity and apply it to a business that is all my own,” said Joe Shields, owner of N-Hance of Buffalo. “Since N-Hance has already established a great reputation locally, I saw assuming ownership as the perfect opportunity to become my own boss while continuing to offer the industry-leading services that N-Hance of Buffalo is known for. As my team and I continue to offer top-notch refinishing services across Erie County and the surrounding areas, I look forward to building relationships with home and property owners across the community.”

N-Hance offers innovative kitchen makeover solutions, including refinishing services that thoroughly clean, remove old coatings, repair damaged areas, and apply an elegant factory-like finish to wood surfaces. With franchise locations across the United States, N-Hance meets the growing demand for high-quality, affordable kitchen remodeling solutions as Americans continue to invest in their homes.

Bob DeGraff, President of N-Hance, is committed to upholding the company’s unique standing within the lucrative home improvement industry: “N-Hance exists within a highly competitive industry. And yet, N-Hance has become an industry leader that homeowners continue to rely on due to our proprietary processes and dedication to providing cabinet makeover services that take less time and are more affordable than typical cabinet painting and replacement services. The entire N-Hance team can’t wait to see all the great work Joe will accomplish within his community.”

Since its founding in 2001, N-Hance has set the industry standard for hardwood refinishing, with nearly 300 locations across the United States. Most traditional refinishing services take several days or even weeks, with the curing process lasting several days and leaving behind a strong odor. Meanwhile, N-Hance uses an innovative UV light technology known as Lightspeed® Nano to instantly cure a final, durable topcoat to cabinets and floors. Using this proprietary technology, N-Hance can transform wood surfaces such as cabinets and floors in a matter of days, not weeks.

N-Hance has the added advantage of being part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family of brands. BELFOR Franchise Group is the world’s largest residential and commercial services franchisor based on geographic footprint, and has over a decade of experience growing brands and helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses through industry-leading training, support and equipment, turnkey business models, and ongoing coaching and business development. Its national acclaim will aid N-Hance of Buffalo in its endeavors to become a trusted resource for local homeowners.
