Who is Archadeck? Archadeck was founded in June of 1980 by an architect and a builder in Richmond, Virginia. We build custom-designed decks, porches, gazebos and related outdoor structures. We are proud to say that Archadeck is now the nation’s largest franchised builder of custom-designed wooden decks, with offices in the United States and Japan. With more than 65,000 projects built nationally, we have become known as “America’s Deck Builder.” And Archadeck designs and builds screened porches, sunrooms, gazebos, arbors, docks, pool decks, and much more. Customers love the versatility, convenience and beauty that we offer—we currently build more than 4,000 projects annually, with an installed base worth over $400 million.
Industry Experts Praise Archadeck. . . Archadeck has received numerous awards from national associations. We are ranked among the ten largest remodeling firms in the U.S. and are continuously featured in national publications such as HOME, Remodeling, Gardens, Decks & Patios, Woman’s Day Home Improvements, Family Circle and Success. Our products have been on the covers of four consecutive issues of Decks & Backyard Projects magazine.
The Industry’s Potential Is Tremendous . . . Archadeck has positioned itself to grow in 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 $8 billion mark and analysts estimate a growth of 15% annually.
Franchise Ownership with No Construction Experience . . . Archadeck’s franchisees come from a variety of backgrounds and industries including communications, computers, accounting, retailing, sales and management. Potential franchisees are surprised to learn that no construction experience is needed to own an Archadeck franchise. Before a franchisee is selected, they visit with the operations staff in Richmond, VA. We want to learn as much as possible about an applicant. This helps to insure they have the skills and motivation essential to become a successful franchisee. Applicants also have the opportunity to talk with a franchisee to find out what it’s like to own an Archadeck franchise. |
