Archadeck, founded in 1980, started the nation’s first network specializing in custom-designed and built decks, porches and other related exterior products. Today, there are over 50 locally owned and operated offices in the U.S., Great Britain and Japan.

Archadeck is consistently ranked as one of the “Top 10″ remodelers in the United States by Qualified Remodeler magazine. Since its founding, Archadeck has designed and built more than 40,000 projects and is the nation’s largest builder of custom-designed decks.

Archadeck franchisees offer their customers a variety of products such as:

Decks Porches Sunrooms Gazebos Trellises/Arbors Pool/Spa Decks Privacy Screens Fences Ramps/Walkways Docks The Industry’s Potential Is Tremendous

Archadeck has positioned itself 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. Consequently, our business potential is tremendous. As a matter of fact, the market is approaching the $3 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.

Our Proven Systems Produce Success

We teach franchisees what they need to know to run a profitable Archadeck business.

Marketing The Archadeck approach blends local marketing strategies and national image advertising to maximize brand awareness.

Franchisees receive the resources necessary to create an effective local media campaign, including radio and television commercials, plus newspaper and yellow page advertisements. And, 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 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 closings. These tools include:

The Archadeck Site Survey Kit DeckwareTM, our custom CAD software package The Consumer Information Guide, which explains construction and option details.

Techniques of construction management. Archadeck has created The Archadeck Building System, a unique and proven method of construction.

This system includes techniques for quick installation and quality assurance. 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.

Administration It’s easy to lose control of any business and lack of control is bad business. To keep control in the right hands, we developed The Archadeck Administrative Package, which incorporates Operations manuals, forms and custom software. These tools provide a straight-forward system for business management.
