What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cr3 American Exteriors's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Technology Fee is initially $1,000 per month after the initial training. This fee grants the franchisee a license to use a third-party technology platform.

The maximum monthly Technology Fee that Cr3 American Exteriors can charge is the actual third-party vendor costs incurred plus a 10% administrative fee. This means that while the fee starts at $1,000, it can increase based on the franchisor's costs, providing some uncertainty for the franchisee regarding ongoing expenses.
