Archadeck

Archadeck is looking for business minded people who want to grow a business. Archadeck, the nation's largest deck builder, features custom decks, screened & open porches, sunrooms, gazebos, pergolas, arbors, pool & spa decks and many other outdoor structures. We custom design and build each project to fit the architecture and landscape of our customers' home. Since our beginning in 1980, we have built over 65,000 projects. We now have over 83 locally owned & operated offices in 27 states. Most of our franchisees had no prior construction knowledge before joining the system. Our business is about managing a very fun and creative process.

Our Industry's Potential Is Tremendous
We have positioned ourselves to grow within an underdeveloped market. It is estimated that 60 million single-family homes in the United States do not yet have a deck. That's approximately 75% of all single-family homes. As a result, our business potential is tremendous. As a matter of fact, the deck market is approaching the $12 billion mark and analysts estimate a growth of 15% annually.

Franchise Ownership with No Construction Experience
Our franchisees come from a variety of backgrounds and industries, including communications, computers, accounting, retailing, sales and management. Often, potential franchisees are surprised to learn that no construction experience is needed to own an Archadeck franchise.

Marketing
We offer expert advice on selecting and placing local radio, television and newspaper advertising, as well as direct mail. We advise franchisees how to create a media mix which will allow them to differentiate themselves from the competition - and to generate more inquiries.

Sales
Every homeowner represents a potential sale. So, once all these inquiries come in, how are they converted to customers? A key principle to a successful sale is the ability to design a solution that addresses the homeowner's desires, needs and budget. Through extensive classroom training, video role-playing and field training, franchisees learn the principles of design and the proven Archadeck sales methodology. Archadeck supplies the essential tools for successful sales presentations and successful sales wrap-up's.

Construction
Our standardized details and construction methods allow for increased profitability by reducing construction time, without sacrificing quality. We provide step-by-step methodology to deliver the project on time and on budget, to a satisfied customer, with a profit for you, the franchisee.
